Enterprise Rent-A-Car: Stop opposing a law prohibiting companies from renting out recalled cars

https://www.change.org/petitions/ent...-recalled-cars

The petition letter says:

Drop opposition to the safe rental cars law!

Dear Mr. Taylor,
We are gravely concerned about the safety of the vehicles that Enterprise is renting. Enterprise has a history of renting out dangerous, recalled vehicles and has opposed legislation that would prohibit this practice. To ensure the safety and lives of your customers and the general public, we ask you to drop your opposition to legislation that would require all rental car companies to fix any recalled vehicles before renting them out again.

Currently, manufacturers and new car dealers are prohibited from selling new cars that are under safety recalls. All we ask is that rental car companies, such as Enterprise, are held to this same, common-sense safety standard.

In 2004, Raechel and Jacqueline Houck, ages 20 and 24, were killed when the recalled vehicle they rented from your company caught fire and crashed -- and Enterprise admitted it was 100% at fault. Nothing can bring them back but we can't stand idly by and let a senseless, horrific tragedy like this happen again.

Your alarming practice of renting out recalled vehicles has cost lives and your competitors, such as Hertz, even support laws restricting it -- what are you waiting for?

Enterprise's opposition to legislation closing the safety loopholes for rental car companies stands in the way of preventing more injuries or death. If Enterprise is serious about ensuring the safety of its customers and the public, you must end your opposition to the prohibition on renting out recalled vehicles. Lives are hanging in the balance.
