| Brake and gas pedal are very close together. when wearing workshoes there is the possibility of stepping on the brake in an emergency situation, depressing the brake pedal and pushing the gas pedal at the same time because the brake pedal depresses beyond the height of the gas pedal. consumer request that dealer install a kill switch on accelerator to rectify the problem. *tt | |||

| Problem with the 'engine check light'. first came on at about 3k miles. dealer spent four hours and made a comment about the fault code being associated with the idle speed (yeah right). they fooled with it , reset the computer and sent me away. now it's back on again. i have noticed that the light goes out but then re-appears again. it's back to the dealer again. if anyone has an absolute solution, i'd love to know so i can tell the dealer what to look for. *ak | |||
