When depressing the brake pedal, it moves lower than the accelerator pedal. If your foot isn't squarely on the brake pedal, you can depress the accelerator accidentally, resulting in sudden acceleration. Pushing harder on the brakes only makes the vehicle go faster. *tr

My 2008 ford f150 brake pedal depresses too far and allows the driver to inadvertently hit the gas pedal and the brake pedal simultaneously. I have had the vehicle examined by the dealer and have notified ford motor company of this problem. They have advised me that the brakes are working properly. My son also has a ford f150 and his has the same problem. I believe this is a serious design defect with these vehicles…

I purchased my vehicle new in 2008. I discovered what seems to be a design flaw with the brake & gas pedals. They are spaced too close together and at the same level. When placing my foot on the brake pedal it sometimes is positioned on the right and overlaps the gas pedal and causing the vehicle to accelerate. This could possibly be a very dangerous situation, especially when towing a heavy boat or travel trailer.…

This seems to be a design flaw safety problem. On my 2008 ford f-150 pick-up truck, the brake pedal is mounted too close to the gas pedal. If, during a "panic stop" my foot is not placed in the middle of the brake pedal, it tends to over lap the gas pedal and when trying to brake, will actually accelerate the truck. This problem gets worse as the vehicle's brakes wear and the brake pedal depresses even further. I…

Accelerator Pedal · Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Structure
I have a safety concern with my 2008 f-150 ford supercrew. The brake pedal has so much travel that it goes past the accelerator pedal in a sudden panic type stop. As the foot presses the brake pedal down, the foot and pedal passes the gas pedal and sometimes, if your foot is not positioned perfectly it causes the gas pedal to be pressed down with the brake pedal. Thus the vehicle is trying to accelerate while the…
