THE CAR DIES AFTER TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY. IT GOES FROM 65 MPH TO 0. THE BRAKES, STEERING, AND COMPLETE POWER DIES. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT THIS POINT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 5 TIMES NOW. ALSO, WHEN THE CARS DOES TURN BACK ON IT WILL ONLY GO 10 MPH AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TURN IT BACK ON THE RPM'S WILL GO TO THE MAX. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO EXPLODE. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. *LA

THE CONSUMER FELT THAT THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL WAS DESIGNED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. THE CONSUMER FOOT GETS STUCK UNDERNEATH THE BRAKE PEDAL. *JB. BRAKE PEDAL IS CURVED TO THE RIGHT-BRINGING IT TOO CLOSE FOR PEOPLE WITH WIDE SHOES LIKE ME. ALSO, FIREWALL ON RIGHT IS VERY CLOSE TO GAS PEDAL SO YOU CANNOT MOVE YOUR FOOT TO THE RIGHT TO GET MORE CLEARANCE. I FEEL THIS COULD CAUSE A FEW SECONDS DELAY IN REACHING BRAKE PEDAL IN EMERGENCY, WHICH COULD RESULT UN FATAL ACCIDENT.*AK
