: the contact stated the vehicle had an improper brake adjustment which made the slack adjuster length different on each side of an axle. The dealership did not find any problem and the contact requested that the brake chambers be replaced and each of the service chambers must be of the same size across the vehicle's axles. Updated 10/18/2006 - the brake pedal travels past the accelerator pedal and has caused trouble while the consumer attempts to stop the vehicle. The consumer has inadvertently it both pedals at the same time.

: the contact stated after attempting to apply sudden brake pressure, the vehicle struck another vehicle in the rear resulting in minor damage. The brakes stopped the vehicle, however not before the point of impact. No injuries were sustained and the police were not notified. Afterwards, the contact discovered the brake pedal was too close to the accelerator pedal. It was suspected that due to the design this could be unsafe, although the placement of the accelerator pedal was not a factor in the accident. The dealer was notified. A manufacturer representative inspected the vehicle. It was determined the placement of the accelerator and brake pedal met Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and no corrections were made.
