Brake and accelerator pedals are too close together at same height. On several occasions, when attempting to brake I found myself accelerating since the brake and accelerator were both depressed pedals were not adjustable.

The contact owns a 2007 Grand Marquis. While driving 25 mph the power adjustable foot pedal failed and almost caused a collision. After applying the brake pedal the accelerator pedal adjusted itself without warning to the same level which caused the driver to engage the accelerator pedal. The Ford dealer misunderstood what the failure was, therefore, diagnosing the vehicle to be operating normally. A diagnosis was performed by a sec ond mechanic, and while driving he was able to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 180, and the current mileage was 260.
