Went to apply brakes and the vehicle started to accelarate. I thought I had hit the gas pedal with the side of my foot, but after getting the vehicle stopped I tried to put my foot on the brake pedal and the gas pedal at the same time since that upset me. I could not do it because they are too far apart for that to happen. This could have been very bad because I could have gone into the store in front of the parking space.
Consumer states that when trying to apply the brakes they will simultaneously hit the accelerator pedal and it will be hard for the consumer to control the vehicle. Dealer notified. Mr.
