What owners wrote

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet hhr. While driving 15 MPH, the vehicle would not decelerate when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact veered off the road and into a ditch, which stopped the vehicle. There were no warning indicators prior to the failure, but after the failure occurred, the brake warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The failure recurred in january of 2008. She took the vehicle to the dealer after each occurrence and assumed that the vehicle had been repaired.

May 2008 Crash

I nearly hit another vehicle that pulled out in front of me today. The brake pedal is too close to the accelerator pedal on my 2006 hummer h3. In an emergency situation, my shoe hangs up on the backside of the brake pedal and I have to turn my foot sideways to get it out from under the pedal. This is a very dangerous and annoying problem that I am afraid of. I can't fix this problem myself as the design is the cause of the problem.
