Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The distance between the clutch pedal and the driver's side (left side) kick panel and dead pedal area is too small. A person with a wide foot or in shoes that are large, such as work or snow boots will get caught in between the clutch pedal and attempting to use the dead pedal. Pontiac customer support doesn't offer any suggestions or adjustment for this. If someone with a 10.5 or larger work or snow shoe/boot size with a width of eee should be able to duplicate this easily. …”
