I was involved in an accident which was caused by hitting the brake pedal and the accelerator at the same time. I thought I was hitting the brake when and hit the gas at the same time causing my vehicle to rear end collide with the vehicle in front of me. Since I have been driving the vehicle this has happened several times, the gas pedal is too close in height to the brake pedal.
This involves a 2006 Ford F-150 4x4 supercrew pickup with automatic transmission and adjustable pedals. On at least 7 occasions I or my uncle have experienced incidents of unintended acceleration with this pickup. All cases occurred when maneuvering the pickup at low speeds, such as parking or backing the pickup up. These unintended accelerations are caused by the foot, while on the brake pedal, coming into contact with the accelerator pedal. The gap between the brake and accelerator pedal is too close, causing a foot that is on the edge of the brake pedal to come into contact with the accelerator pedal when braking. This results in the engine revving up and causing the vehicle to lurch forward approximately 8 to 12 feet, until the brakes are engaged and the vehicle comes to a complete stop. My uncle and myself have experienced this phenomenon on my uncles 2004 Ford F-150, which I reported to the nhsta.
