problem #1

Mar 142006

Astro Van 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 21,865 miles
I have reported this before due to several other close calls that I had, but the same thing has happened to two others in the same vehicle. When depressing the brake pedal (because it is so small - 2"X2.6") your foot can be on the edge of the pedal and it will slip off as you apply more pressure. This happens when you are nearing a stop or having to make a quick stop. We have had several near miss accidents, the last would have been a right angle collision with a dump truck right in the driver's door. The vehicle is a 2003 Astro van with automatic transmission. Foot space is limited only if it would be a stick shift requiring a clutch. The brake pedal is the smallest in our fleet and not much larger than the emergency brake pedal. The vehicle is now parked pending a safety review.
