2007 Ford F-150. Consumer writes to express dissatisfaction with local dealer the consumer stated after he purchased the vehicle, he immediately complained to the dealer about not been able to read one gauge during daylight because of the color arrangement.

At slow speeds, 5 to 10 mph, and when the engine is cold, when you attempt to brake for a stop, the engine can rev to 1750 to 2000 RPM, prohibiting your stop, potentially causing an accident. A hard braking action is necessary or shifting to neutral is required. After discussing this complaint with another Ford truck own, we'd decided that our right foot was not only attempting to depress the brake pedal, but also the gas pedal simultaneously. Both are in close proximity of each other, which provides for this opportunity. I'd suggest a design change, toward Ford, separating the two pedals slightly in a better attempt to avoid this from happening. I'm sorry for the form submission, but it was in an attempt to correct a something I'd thought was a real issue. Thank you for your time.
