Upon entering my vehicle, i noticed a computer module had fallen out of the drivers side dash and was resting on the accelerator pedal. upon further examination, it appears this module was held in place by two sided tape which failed to secure the unit. the wires attached to the unit were long enough to block access to both the accelerator and brake pedal. therefore, it is my concern that had this unit fallen out while the vehicle was in motion, access to the brake and/or accelerator pedals could have been impeded and an accident causing serious injury or fatalities could have occurred.
