I drive a 2006 Nissan Murano. I have given up driving with boots or any thick wide-soled shoes. I may be describing a common complaint, but in my case, it poses a real danger. Apparently when I brake, the left front edge of my right foot is just bearly making contact with the brake pedal, so that the foot spans the gap between the brake and accelerator and also makes contact with the accelerator. This has caused the vehicle to surge slightly forward on a couple of occasions rather than braking properly. To avoid this I have to consciously make certain that my heel is placed directly under the brake pedal, but I don't always think of this. (Normally I tend to pivot on the heel rather than lifting my foot from one pedal to the other.) Should it be necessary to pay such close attention to how the foot makes contact with the pedals, or are the pedals set incorrectly, or is my technique totally wrong? Or is there another solution?? I only feel safe driving with dress shoes! Thanks for your advice. Frank
