3 Structure problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2010

I own a Toyota Camry 2005 purchased this fall. I have come close to having an accident at least a half a dozen times. The gas pedal and brake pedal seem to be designed so that are located too close to each other, so when I go to hit the brake I sometimes hit the accelerator pedal instead. This is going to lead to property or bodily harm. I emailed Toyota about a month ago but they just said to take it to the dealer who then said the brakes were adjusted. No way has this helped!.
