Brake Pedal And Linkage Problems of Chevrolet Colorado

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado truck. He stated that over a year ago he crashed into a vehicle since the brake and accelerator pedal design was defective. The gas pedal is too close to the brake pedal; therefore, sometime when he engaged the brake pedal his foot also stepped on the accelerator pedal. The dealer stated that there was nothing that they could do to adjust the pedals. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 66,000. Updated 02/23/10.

Dt:the contact stated the brake pedal and accelerator pedal are too close together. When he moves foot from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal the soul of his shoe hangs on the brake pedal. There is not enough room between the two pedals. The manufacturer stated the vehicle is designed for someone with smaller feet. The brake pedal has a curved arm and this needs to be moved about one inch. This happens 25 to 50 percent of the time. Updated 11/29/05.

Brake and gas pedal are to close together for people with larger feet. I wear a size 13 shoe and when I wear my hiking boots, I have about 1/4" clearance between the right side wall and the brake pedal, my foot continually catches on the brake pedal. I am looking into moving the brake pedal to the left or putting on a new pad to give more room in between the brake and the side wall.

The brake pedal in this vehicle is too close to the accelerator, creating a limited space for your foot. On more than one occasion my foot was impinged under the edge of the brake pedal when I attempted to remove my foot from the accelerator to brake. I feel that one may not be able to access the brake quickly in a panic stop situation.
