I have to be extremely careful when braking as the brake pedal goes too far down and is too close to the accelerator and it is very easy to push on the accelerator while braking. I have nearly ran into other vehicles or even people in a crosswalk while pushing on the brake. Dealer says there are no TSB's or any internal information regarding this problem. Because I am aware ofthe problem I am very careful, but there are times when you just push on the brake and my foot is also hitting the accelerator.
