Four problems related to accelerator pedal have been reported for the 2005 Volvo S40. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Accelerator pedal is too close to brake pedal; possible interfernce when wearing certain shoes.
Seperation between accelerator pedal and brake pedal is too close. I constantly touch the brake pedal as I accelerate.
I own a 2005 Volvo S40 and the gas pedal and brake pedal are too close together. This has caused an issue with my foot catching the brake from behind as I move my foot from the gas to the brake. And if I need to brake immediately and my foot hangs up this could cause a major accident.
I own a 2005 Volvo S40 2. 4i that was purchased in December 2004. The issue is the separation of the accelerator and brake pedals as well as the separation of the brake pedal/arm and the transmission tunnel, which provides overall clearance for the right foot. They are too close together and while driving, my foot tends to hit the brake pedal slighty when I want to push on the accelerator. In addition to this, the windshield is quite easily chipped. I have 4000 miles on my car and there are already 9 chips in the windshield. My parents have more than 150,000 miles on two different cars and only two chips in one of the windshields. This is not a defect but more of a quality issue. Could you look into this as well. Thank you.
