Vehicle Speed Control Problems of Volvo XC90 - part 2

I had to wear wide width shoes due to my toe being pinched. I was driving a 2005 Volvo Xc90. A couple of times, instead of applying the brake, the shoe was on the accelerator. The gap between the accelerometer and brake is very little. When I was driving with a non-wide width shoe, I did not notice this problem. This happens almost all the time wearing this one particular shoe (4e wide).

The contact owns a 2005 Volvo Xc90. The contact noticed that the space between the accelerator and brake pedals was only 4 1/2 inches wide. The width of his foot is 5 inches wide. There is an insufficient amount of space to adequately apply pressure to the accelerator pedal without also depressing the brake pedal. The dealer stated that they were aware of the failure, but have not made any efforts to correct the design. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 54,000.

The contact owns a 2003 Volvo Xc90. While driving 55mph, the vehicle suddenly lost power while merging between two large vehicles. The accelerator pedal would not respond when he tried to engage it. The dealer stated that the rear differential, the throttle and the disc brakes failed. The purchase date was unavailable. The current and failure mileages were approximately 45,000.

Pulling into a store parking lot with my foot on the brake and operating at very slow speed, the vehicle dramatically accelerated by itself causing a wreck against a tree.
