Re: Gas pedal feel?

The sensitivity of the pedal is noticable for sure and could be better, but I have to agree that the pedals are too close together! I have scared myself several times when braking because my foot was on both brake and accelerator and I didn't know it. I wasn't stopping quickly enough and more pressure on the pedal wasn't working... then I realized I was also pushing the accelerator. No wonder it wasn't stopping. The problem is realizing what is happening before you run out of time to lift your foot off the pedals and hit the brake again.
In my case I'm seeing the rear end of the car stopped in front of me and thinking I'm not stopping quick enough ...I apply more pressure and it's getting critical. Then I feel the engine RPMs rising and realize what's happening. I lift my foot off the pedals and go full brake just in time to screetch to a stop with about nothing but my guardian angel between the bumper of the car in front and me bloodying my titan's nose.
For a vehicle with no need to use a " heel and toe" technique, they should address this design issue.
