Concerns of the locations of the brake and accelerator pedals on 2000 Lincoln Ls. When brake are depressed, it is easy to hit the accelerator pedal as well.

The vehicle lurch once which resulted in the vehicle hitting the consumer's garage door and right turn signal lens. The manufacturer was contacted but there has been no follow-up correspondence.
