    I haven't had any issues like this, but thanks for the jinx .

    If anything, sometimes if I have to brake abruptly, my foot will catch the brake pedal from behind after releasing off of the gas.
    I'm usually wearing flip flops , which tends to raise the possibility of that happening.

    I've actually been considering getting a pedal cover for the accelerator because I think it's a little dinky.

    I have also experienced this, and found that the floor mat was pushed forward and to the right far enough that it was climbing the hump. My heel was effectively moved an inch or so to the left. Just enough to throw off the normal feel. I make it a habit to reposition the floor mat every couple days and have not had a problem since. I always wear the same shoes when I drive so my case is not related to the shoes.

    I experienced this once or twice with the stock pedals...but, after upgrading to the MOMO pedals, I offset the brake pedal slightly to the left and made more space between the pedals so its no longer an issue..plus, I've become an avid "left-foot" braker over the past 7 years..lol. For details, if interested, please refer to my old thread: (post #14)
