I was involved in an accident on 9/11/05. I stepped on the brake in a hard manor, but since the brake is very close to the gas pedal, my foot was half on the gas and half on the brake. The Jeep took off as I applied more pressure. I could not control the Jeep, I slammed into a wood fence, then into a parked car. Causing major damage. This is very poor design by Chrysler and dangerous, luckily no one was hurt. Check the distance between the gas and brake pedal.
Gas pedal and brake pedal to close to one another. While driving my vehicle this weekend. My shoe got stuck between the gas and brake pedal, causing the vehicle to accelerate. I lost control of the vehicle, was unable to stop and hit another parked vehicle causing over $3600 in repairs to the parked car, the estimated damage to my car is the same. Have there been previous safety issues?.
