Brake problems: brake pedal going to floor upon applying.

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.

While trying to stop my Ford F-150 truck, I was actually hitting the accelerator at the same time as I was pushing the brake pedal. I could not tell that it was happening until it was too late. As I pshed on the brake the truck did not seem to slow down nearly as fast as it should have, so I pushed harder on the brake and that did not seem to work properly, then I realized the right edge of my foot was actually depressing the accelerator, but you could not really feel it since it has very little resistance. When I realized what was happening, I tried to lift my foot off the accelrator, but to do so I had to release the brake a bit. When I did that, the vehicle lurched forward toward the car in front of me and hit it. It happens because as you are hitting the accelerator while trying to brake, the engine revs up to high rpm, as you try to get your foot off the accelerator, and release the brake a bit, the car thinks you want to go fast and takes off because of the high rpm. This happened to me about two or three weeks ago, but it just seemed like an oddity at the time so I did not really think it was a big deal. Then it happened to me again yesterday when I needed to stop quickly because everyone had slammed on the brakes in front of me, so when I went to hit my brakes, I inadvertantly was hitting the accelerator at the same time again, only this time, it caused an accident as I plowed into the car in front of me. I had plenty of room in front of me, at least 10 to 15 feet or more, and we were only traveling between 5 to 10 miles per hour. I wonder how many other drivers have had this occur to them. I have been driving vehicles for thirty years and have never had this happen to me until I drove this truck, and it has now happened at least 2 times in the last month. I am driving this truck since August this year.

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.

The brake pedal stopped moving when actuating the adjustable pedals. The accelerator pedal moves so there is no step over height difference between the pedals. With the pedals being at the same height position there is no way to differentiate between them or step on both at same time.

: the contact stated pulled up to a stop street stepped on brake pedal and accelerator pedal at same time and almost broadsided another vehicle. Backing out of contact's driveway the same thing happened and almost hit another vehicle. The contact felt it was a safety hazard and should be corrected. Updated 05/30/2006.

: the contact stated while applying the brake the pedal goes to the floor and the contact's foot presses the accelerator. The dealer indicated the brakes operate as designed and both the brake and accelerator pedals meet the fmvss. No repairs have been made. Updated 3/28/2006 -.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-150. The contact noticed that the brake pedal was designed directly below the accelerator pedal. Every time he depressed the brake pedal, the accelerator pedal would also be applied. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that it complied with Ford's standards; therefore, nothing could be done. The contact filed a formal complaint with the manufacturer. The current mileage was 23,700 and the failure mileage was unknown. Updated 3/18/08 updated 03/18/08.

: the contact stated the vehicle had an improper brake adjustment which made the slack adjuster length different on each side of an axle. The dealership did not find any problem and the contact requested that the brake chambers be replaced and each of the service chambers must be of the same size across the vehicle's axles. Updated 10/18/2006 - the brake pedal travels past the accelerator pedal and has caused trouble while the consumer attempts to stop the vehicle. The consumer has inadvertently it both pedals at the same time.

: the contact stated after attempting to apply sudden brake pressure, the vehicle struck another vehicle in the rear resulting in minor damage. The brakes stopped the vehicle, however not before the point of impact. No injuries were sustained and the police were not notified. Afterwards, the contact discovered the brake pedal was too close to the accelerator pedal. It was suspected that due to the design this could be unsafe, although the placement of the accelerator pedal was not a factor in the accident. The dealer was notified. A manufacturer representative inspected the vehicle. It was determined the placement of the accelerator and brake pedal met federal motor vehicle safety standards and no corrections were made.

Accelerator pedal. . . Adjustable pedal levels seem to move causing driver to step on accelerator instead of brake pedal. . . Happens often. . . Very dangerous.

1) while attempting to stop I noticed my truck accelerating. I naturally pressed harder and nearly ran through my garage door. On 5 other occasions since I have come very close to having severe accidents experiencing acceleration. Had I not been conscious of the cause the incidents would have resulted in serious injury. 2) the cause discovered was the proximity and height of the brake pedal in relation the gas pedal. Nearly 1/3 of my foot can be on the brake pedal, and still press the gas pedal at the same time. Unlike other vehicles, the brake pedal does not stop before reaching the plane of the gas pedal. 3) on numerous occasions, particularly in having to make quick stops my foot has inadvertently pressed both the brake and gas pedal. Realizing that the resulting acceleration was due to improper positioning of the pedals I have been able to recover but not without the loss of precious time. Someday I fear that this defect will result in a costly and severe accident.

Purchased 2004 Ford F-150 supercab 4x2 at hub city Ford inc in crestview, florida on November 15, 2004. After heavy rains the pickup cab flooded, covering the rear seat back, bench, and carpeting in large puddles. Upon further inspection, noticed the brake pedal rod, steering column, and all bare metal was severely rusted. Took vehicle to the dealership and was told that it was "normal" and would be painted, and detailed to clean the carpets. Was also informed immediately that the cause of the leak was a faulty seal around the top cab rear brake light. Appointment was made for Tuesday November 30th, 2004. Inspected the cab further on Sunday (today) November 28th, 2004. Rust is covering all exposed metal, including the seat brackets (which hold the seats to the frame) all bolts, and most of the rear cab metal behind the rear seats. Water is still covering the rear floor pans and side pans under plastic side steps (under which is bound wiring relating to forward to rear electrical functions). The damage from rust is not surficial, but deep, cracked and pitted. Will attempt to have dealer replace vehicle entirely.

Concerns with blind spots on right side where the mirror and handgrip are in a line as well as location of the brake and gas pedals. This seemed to be a factor in several traffic incidents, the consumer had several emergency stops several times in which the consumers foot had come down on the brake and gas pedals and seemed to only happen in emergency situations when the consumers foot would shoot down.

Concerns regarding the Ford f150 2002 gas and brake pedal. The consumer was able to correct the foot placement and avoided serious consequences. In emergency situations, the consumers foot shot down, per reflex, but the pedals did not match the placement of the consumers foot which had come down on both the gas and brake pedals.

On Ford harley davidson edition F-150 pickups, the brake pedal is stainless steel with rubber strips for traction. While they are very nice looking, they have a serious design flaw. These strips tear off very easily and quickly leaving a polished, stainless steel brake pedal. This is very slippery, especially when the least bit wet. It presents a serious safety hazard - foot sliding off while stopping, while sitting at a traffic light, etc. My truck had the problem at 2100 miles, replaced the pedals at 5000 miles and the new pedals were tearing again with a week. .

Pe 02 035: brake/accelerator pedal separation: while applying brake pedal driver's foot would simultaneously hit accelerator pedal, almost causing a vehicle crash. Dealer and manufacturer not notified at that time. Consumer was at a traffic light with foot on the brake when the engine started to rev. The more the consumer put on brakes the more the engine would accelerate.

Anti-lock brake failure, possible cause could be that the brake pedal & accelerator are to close resulting in unintended acceleration.
