Anyone else feel the break and gas are to close

[cigarlvr]

I Just got my H3 and feel like the gas pedel and break are almost on top each other. Is there any adjustment for this

What does the break do?

I had the same complaint. Talked to my Service rep and he said G.M. is possibly coming out with a adjustment bracket for the brake pedal. Call your dealership and ask about the status. I havent heard much and I was complaining back in August.

No.

I think this will apply more to cold climates or wide feet http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Ya i have a minor issue with that too , Snow boots for Michigan dont fit in there well at all

[timgco]

I have been in 3 different 3's and found the brake pedal and gas pedal are at different lengths between one another.

[thedieter]

On ours, the carpet has about 1/2" space under it which makes the space between the carpet and the brake pedal less than it would be if the carpet were glued down tight.

Even so, ours is OK for size 10 shoes. I think boots would be a tight fit.

Best regards,

[nmikes]

they are a little close, but this doesn't bother near as much as the fact I've got long legs and the pedals are way too far forward... on roadtrips I have to tuck my flopping feet behind the pedals to be comfortable... not the safest thing but if I wanted to live life safe I wouldn't go offroading either.

Really?http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gifhttp://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

While the pedals are a bit close together and offset slightly to the right, they're hardly inconvenient. Try driving any Italian sports car and then tell us what you think.

[Huck BB62]

Yup, with hiking boots on or the Skechers that my wife bought me to wear while my knee gets better, I've got very little room indeed. My foot has to be straight up and down to slide to work the gas pedal without catching the brake pedal. I do hope there's a fix, I could use an extra 1/2".

[f5fstop]

Yes, with hiking boots, no with tennis shoes or dress shoes. But, I seem to have adapted to it.

[BigRob]

I wear a size 15 shoe so yes, I believe they are too close together. I will be waiting for this adjustment as well.

[Mark805]

i found that the H3 with manual tranny had the brake / gas peddle closer together...

But on the automatic I was happy http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

[gc2488]

I thought the pedals were close for
extreme heel-toe race driving... :-)

I too have large Sorel Glacier Boots
that are a problem, so I have to take them off
when driving the H3 (as with most vehicles).

BIGROB...........Is it true about what they say about big feet? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[rebpvu]

When I test drove the H3 in early July 06 I did not notice the narrow spacing between brake and gas pedal. Probably was wearing shoes with narrow soles when I did the test drive. After doing research on the H3 and other SUV's, along with test driving them, I made the big decision and ordered my H3 (birch white, LUX pckg). My girlfriend and I love the H3, but my only complaint is the brake/gas pedals being to close to each other. When I wear shoes with wide soles, I'm constantly getting stuck between brake and gas medal. Hope there is a fix being addressed for this problem.

Now what makes you think i'm naughty? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Adam^_^]

u want pics of his shoes? or his feet? or his ****? lol

[NEOCON1]

just get two big pipe wrenches and bend the brake to the left hold it with one and yank on it with the other http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[HummerJim]

This never bothered me until I read about it here, and now every time I get in the H3 with my hunting boots I try to be exra careful. I'm thinking of using a metal saw to cut part of the brake pedal to the size of an old car restoration rubber pad that I can slip over the pedal. I'm thinking of ordering a 69 Camaro manual tranny brake pedal pad and cutting the H3 brake pedal to that size for a good fit and finished look(I remember these pads being very small). Pictures to follow when I get the pad installed.

[StarsnBars]

I posted about this months ago. HummerJim,,I did take a hacksaw to my brake pedal. Sounds kinda crazy but I have size 18 clod hoppers. I could not work my ole foot on both without catching the brake pedal. So I hacked off the right side of the pedal (maybe a 1/4 inch ) Between the rubber pad missing and the loss of part of the pedal everything is GOOD. Really didnt want to hack on my new H3 but I had to do something. My buddies were wiggin when I started sawing. I still get a good chuckle when I think about it. The stock rubber pad will never fit again but I really dont care much anymore.. So yes there is a fix....LOL

[MrsRobinsn2000]

Adam all of the above........lol but ummmm I think starsnbars beat BIGROB out by a few inches http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif
