While I don't think I have enormous feet (11's) I seem to a problem where my foot brushes against the brake when I go for the gas or the gas when I go for the brake. Does anybody else notice this?

In conjunction with that, any aftermarket pedal that I could toss on which might be smaller or spaced apart better? Perhaps I can get the brake pedal cut so it's not as wide? I remember Toyota did that for me in my 4runner for a recall of this specific reason.

Thanks

 

I agree 100%. Hoping for a solution. I have size 10D (regular width), and normal shoes. This is the first car where it has been an issue.

 

Opposite here - I heel & toe a lot and think pedals too far apart. The car could really use pedal extender as I am forced to wear wide shoes. 11W here and I can't wear my driving shoes as they are too narrow to do side-roll technique.

Are both of you by any chance Sasquatches?

 

Funny. Wonder if the brake pedal is different size on Standard vs Auto. I have Auto.

 

+1.

 

Auto V8 as well

 

Here's what the pedal setup looks mike on the MT.







Here's the AT version:

 

Make sure your carpet is firmly attached to wall next to gas pedal. My carpet was not attached and was drooping causing my foot to be pushed over and my 10W feet would rub the brake all the time. Carpet is fixed but it looks like crinkled aluminum foil now

 

Two years ago when I first looked at the F-Type, I told the salesman that I didn't like the car because the distance between the carpet and brake peddle was too narrow. I have a size 13 extra wide foot.

I recently drove a 2017 and the distance is still narrow, but doesn't seem to be as bad. I purchased the car.

I know this sounds crazy, BUT,,,,,,,,,,whenever I drive my new car I put on my narrowest pair of shoes and It gives me a tiny bit extra room. It sure would suck to hit both peddles at once and get into an accident.

Bottom line, I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one with this problem. You would think Jaguar would have been able to increase the width by a minuscule inch to resolve this issue.

Maybe the British have little feet. Just sayin' !!!!!

 

Small feet, but larger in all other aspects...

 

Driving shoes. I wear 9 1/2 US and I'm careful what I wear: some shoes/sneakers are too wide. And it's bad for the brand if we look like slobs when we go out: need to maintain the Villany look.

 

My problem is accessing the dead pedal area with sneakers on in the MT. I have to slide my foot under the clutch. With sandals or dress shoes, not a problem.

 

i have an XF that i took in today for the airbag recall replacement and my loaner is a '17 F Type R convertible. one of the mgmt people is a friend and i've been considering a trade up to an f Type for a long time.

my first reaction, with my size 12-extra wide feet was there's no way this is going to work. i brush the brake pedal every time i reach for the gas. what a disappointment. does anyone make a smaller aftermarket brake pedal? i can't find one...

 

You could use the brake pedal from the MT car.

 

genius.....

thanks

 

That's a good idea!

 

Size 13; auto. Can't say I've had a problem, but I like Unhingd's idea.

Much better than when I was driving a Europa, where one foot could span Gas/Brake/Clutch at the same time. I had to take off my shoes to drive.

 

any idea where to buy MT brake pedal? I'll be the guinea pig here.

 

None of the online parts catalogs list the pedals or even the MT. Go to your dealer and ask them for the part number. PM me if you need a valid VIN. With the part number you can either Google it for the best deal, or go to Land Rover Parts and Jaguar Spares | Britcar UK Ltd. They have great prices and reasonable shipping costs. These folks might be able to help as well: https://www.jaguarlandroverrenoparts.com/


The other thing you might consider is to take a torch to the pedal shaft and bend the pedal to the left for an additional .25-.50" of clearance.
