The pedals move forward and backward. The pedals are too close together which causes the driver to unknowingly depress the accelerator pedal, while pressing the brake or visa versa. The dealer was notified and could not offer a solution. This happens regardless of where the pedals are adjusted. There was an accident in october, 2004. The contact was driving the vehicle upon a ramp in order to change the oil. …”
