Explorer Sport Trac 6-cyl

  • 42,000 miles
I was at the yield sign at the feeder lane approaching the nasa bypass in webster, Texas when I applied my brakes as another car was ahead of me and had stopped. Instead of braking, my vehicle accelerated and I run into the rear of the car ahead. The cause of the problem is the design in the vehicle. The brake pedal when depressed is lower than the accelerator pedal and they are too close together. If the brake is not applied exactly right a person can unintentionally hit the accelerator pedal. The vehicle is a 2007 Ford Explorer sports trac truck.

  • Automatic transmission

When applying brake, the pedal depresses too far and if my foot is not moved away from the gas pedal enough, both the gas pedal and brake get depressed together causing the vehicle to lurch forward.
