No

No,
and sliding the foot from one to the other sounds like an accident in the making.

No. I don't understand how anyone has a problem with it.

Did this issue just crop up or has it been a problem for the year and a half you’ve owned your Maverick?

In my 45 years of driving, I’ve never “slid“ my foot from one pedal to the other. That might be your problem.

It does seem to me that the brake pedal is a little higher on the Maverick than in other vehicles, causing you to have to lift your foot a little further from the accelerator before moving to the brake pedal. First couple of times I drove mine, I hit the side of my foot on the brake pedal when transitioning. That being said, I wouldn’t call it an issue. The height differential is tiny. Got used to it very quickly and now I don’t give it a second thought.

noticed it since I had the vehicle a year now. Been driving 48 years myself and maybe it’s the type of rubber compound between the pad and shoe I never felt this before.there are other people that have mentioned it to ?

Yes as a matter of fact!!! Of course I have nerve damage in my legs. But my 2004 kia rio has the same pedals, size and shape and I never had a problem with them. I will be getting a bigger brake pad I can rig up so it does not slip off. Almost hit a car in dunkin donuts d

This has nothing to do with the Maverick. I can't think of any vehicle I've driven in 53 years where the brake pedal does not sit higher than the gas pedal. That's a pretty standard design. Start making them different and people will get confused.

For that matter, cars in the 20s and 30s--well, those that had accelerator pedals--share that trait, too. I've driven plenty. [some even in the 20s {e.g., Model T} didn't have foot operated gas pedals, while others had basically a metal button coming out of the floor.]
