I REMEMBERED THAT THE MORE THAT I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL SHOCK HARDER AND HARDER TO WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN CONTROL IT. *TR

LAST WEEK I RENTED A NISSAN ALTIMA FROM HERTZ. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAD DRIVEN THIS CAR. THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE LOCATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SPACING BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR. I WEAR A SIZE 10 SHOE AND THE EDGE OF MY SHOE KEPT GETTING CAUGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I MOVED MY FOOT TO APPLY THE BRAKE. I NARROWLY ESCAPED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS. THERE IS NO SPACE BETWEEN THESE 2 PEDALS! *TR
