“The brake pedal rubber is made of a hard plastic or synthetic rubber. Both I and my wifes foot slides off of it no matter what type of shoe were wearing. I started wearing tennis shoes, helped a little. But I've nearly had several wrecks where I was going slow came up to the light and my foots come off the peddle and I nearly ran into the stopped car infront of me, I mean by inches. I put both feet on the peddle now with one up on the peddle metal stem that holds the pad own out of an abundance of caution. I'm really afraid to drive the car.it's an accident waiting to happen”
NHTSA complaint #11613757, filed 2024-09“Had to make a panic stop in rain on interstate due to vehicle in front of me using emergency turn around (vehicle was not authorized to use). Brake pedal went down furthur than normal amd abs did not activate. Barely missed having an accident. Exiting 12 miles later brake pedal went to floor. Stopped (had to pump pedal repeatedly to stop as iy was going to floor) & checked brake fluid level. It looked low. Drove carefully home. Upon parking at home, 'Low brake fluid' light came on. Checked fluid in resevoir. Only one third was remaining.”
