Example complaints

“I have a 2006 Lincoln Town Car. It has a driver adjustment on the height of the brake pedal. Even with it at the top, when you apply the brakes, the accelerator is so close that you can push it also. This is very dangerous. Several times now, I have avoided an accident only because an oncoming driver missed me. Coming up to a stop sign, I've applied the brakes only to have the car jump forward into traffic.”
NHTSA complaint #10234939, filed 2008-07, 24,000 miles“Brake and accelerator are too close together and too often, when pressing on the brake pedal, the accelerator is pressed as well causing the vehicle to advance (either forward or in reverse). I brought it to the dealer (malouf) and was told they found no defect and there were no recalls or safety bulletins and there was nothing to do. I see, from reading the n.h.t.s.a. Reports that this is one of the most common complaints and the safety board should force ford/Lincoln to install some devise that prevents engaging both the brake and the accelerator at the same time.”
NHTSA complaint #10630422, filed 2014-09, 25,000 miles“When coming to a stop and pushing brake pedal ,accelerator pedal is too close to break pedal causing it to be pushed causing engine to accelerate creating a dangerous situation on my 2006 Lincoln Town Car.”
NHTSA complaint #10238540, filed 2008-08, 46,000 miles“The gas pedal is located too close to the brake pedal. It is very easy to press on both pedals at the same time. This has happened to me 4 times in the six months I have been driving this car. The problem is alleviated somewhat by positioning the adjustable brake pedal at the most extended extreme, but it is still far too easy to depress both pedals simultaneously.”
NHTSA complaint #10258688, filed 2009-02“The contact owns a 2006 Lincoln Town Car. While driving 65 MPH, the contact heard an abnormal popping noise and the moon roof detached from the vehicle.
