Your driving along , the car slow down there is a metal to metal noise, traction light comes on, you step on the brake and the pedal goes to the floor. came to close to having an accident' i or my wife took the car to the dealer they say they can not duplicate the problem. the car spent more than 2 months at the dealership. *jb

Dt: contact stated when putting on the brakes the pedal picked up the accelerator pedal, causing the car to accelerate unnecessarily. the brake pedal went down further when compressed than the gas pedal did when it compressed. the dealer was trying to correct the problem. the service manager was looking at the computer system in the car. the consumer talked to several other people that had this same problem. he has noticed this problem ever since september 2004. *ak the brake and accelerator pedal were designed too close together. *jb
