we recently test drove the 2013 ford escape which we planed on replacing our 98 explorer. The problem is the brake pedal and the gas pedal are too close together and our foot gets caught under the brake pedal when going back and forth.

Rich R I agree with with Dwain S. I have a size 15 shoe and the gas and brake pedal are tool close together. I would suggest at least 1 more inch between them. 8 months(s) ago via Ford Social
Michael L I have a size 13 shoe and had no problems. Limiteds at least have power adjustable pedals - does that help? 9 months(s) ago via Ford Social
This is a serious safety concern for me too. I can't see how the recall will make it any better. The pedals are too close together. We need a real fix. 10 months(s) ago via Ford Social
This is a real issue. I don't see how the 12S34 Recall is really going to address the problem. 10 months(s) ago via Ford Social
Dwain S I had a similar expereince a few days ago. I'm not your average guy with size 14 shoe, I drove teh Escape Titanium and could not manage to drive the vehicle without getting my foot stuck on the brake when lifting off of the accelerator pedal. Big disappointment as I love everything else about this vehicle. I learned there is a recall but does this create more space between the pedals or simply replace the left console cover and remove insulation? 10 months(s) ago via Ford Social
