I inadvertently upon depressing the brake pedal, also pressed on the accelerator pedal. What is apparently normal for the 2005 Nissan Maxima, is the brake pedal can move below the level of the accelerator pedal. This highlighted two problems: 1. The bake pedal travel is to much, and 2. The distance between the brake and accelerator pedals is insufficient. The result of this problem is to apply more brake pressure thereby also accelerating the car. I was parking and ended up upon the median between lanes of parking and damaged my bumper and skirt under the front end.
