While driving on a highway, the ABS & brake warning lights eliminated. It was determined that the issue was the ebcm brake controller module that had failed causing the associated ABS brake pump to run continuously, thus destroying it. The module and pump are located on the frame approx. Below the drivers set. Dealer's estimated cost to repair $1,200. At the time of the incident the ebcm module was on back order and the dealer could not correct the issue. I had to buy a refurbished module and a new pump to solve the issue.

\the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are separated by 1-1/4 inches. At rest, the brake pedal is about 1/2 inch higher than the accelerator pedal. When depressed, the brake pedal is 1 inch lower. It is very easy to move your right foot from the accelerator to depress the brakes and not be far enough over to avoid also depressing the accelerator at the same time. There is 4 inches of space between the accelerator pedal and side of the car body on the right side. This is plenty of room to relocate the accelerator pedal to the right, perhaps so that there is the width of a man's shoe sole between the two pedals.
