Enterprise’s Handling of Recalled Autos Targeted in Group’s FTC Petition
The Center for Auto Safety is the nation’s premier independent, member driven, non-profit consumer advocacy organization dedicated to improving vehicle safety, quality, and fuel economy on behalf of all drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
Enterprise Holdings Inc., the largest U.S. rental-car company, lets autos under federal safety recalls be rented before repairs, consumer advocates said in a petition asking the Federal Trade Commission to bar the practice.
Enterprise said in a lawsuit that employees may rent out vehicles that have been recalled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for defects, the Washington-based Center for Auto Safety and Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety, based in Sacramento, California, said in a petition today. That amounts to a deceptive trade practice, the groups said.
