2007 H3

[Aphextwinop]

Glad I saw this topic posted, I was going to start a new one in regards to the 07 model. On Monday, my airbag light came on, (on the instrument cluster)......Took it in Tuesday, and the dealer put me in a 07 H3. I'm kinda strange so the first thing I notcied is that it doens't have the tie down loop/brackets on the rook. Overlall......looks and drives the same, but I will tell ya here and NOW.......there is a major flaw that I believe a LOT of people are going to complain about. The gas pedal and brake pedal are so close together it's insane. At first I just thought my foot was positioned weird or something, but I ended up driving it for about a day and a half. I almost wrecked twice. I couldn't get my foot off the gas and onto the break wihtout it hanging up every damn time. I was wearing normal shoes, and my foot size is 10. I quickly realized that I had to actually tilt my right foot to drive this thing safely. I wanted to make sure I wasn't losing my mind, so I asked my brother to take it for a spin. I didn't say anything or give him any clues about the reason why. So he hops in, and we take off. He comes to a Stop sign, I see him kinda fumble his foot around.....and says "****"! He gets it free and was able to break. It happened several more times. I wonder if they are aware of this, and if they will fix it. Scarry stuff. Anyway......I'd like to hear from anyone else who has driven an 07 and has experienced the same issue. I know when I bought my 06 that I kinda thought the pedals were too close, but it's not been an issue at all.

BTW......the Airbag light came on all because of a faulty fuse. Not sure why it took them a day and half to figure it out........but oh well. And I have to say (Sorry Yellow H3 Owners)......that driving the mini-school bus was just not "cool". I was very HAPPY to get my white baby back!!!!

Peace
