What did they do to fix the problem the first time? If they just bent 
something or adjusted something, then as soon as you used the brakes 
again then it would either just bend again or bend some more. To fix 
this, you would have to actually add strength back to something which 
had lost it.

OTOH, the pedal is attached to the side of the tunnel, and I have 
never seen it get so weakened that it would bend. The floor is 
another matter, but it does not support the pedals.

So what actually rusted out on your car?
