Complaint
2008
SEAT BELTS
ON TWO OCCASIONS THIS DECEMBER I RENTED VEHICLES FROM BOTH ALAMO AND ENTERPRISE IN BOSTON, MA AND MINNEAPOLIS, MN RESPECTIVELY AT AIRPORT LOCATIONS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS I RENTED A 2008 CHEVROLET IMPALA LS. IN BOSTON THE WIPER PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE, AND IN MINNEAPOLIS THE ABS SYSTEM WAS EITHER NOT INCLUDED OR NON-OPERATING. IN SUNNY WEATHER, NO ONE WOULD HAVE NOTICED EITHER PROBLEM. BUT WHAT I DID NOTICE IS. ON BOTH CARS THE SAFETY BELTS FOR THE DRIVER, PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGERS DID NOT TENSION PROPERLY DURING LOW SPEED BRAKING, AND MEDIUM SPEED EMERGENCY BRAKING, WHEREBY OCCUPANTS WHERE THROWN FORWARD INTO WHATEVER WAS IN FRONT OF THEM. IN MY CASE IT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN A FEW TIMES, AND WITH OTHERS SEATS, AND/OR DASHBOARD. I THINK THIS IS THE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. BOTH WERE LS MODELS, THOUGH THEY VARIED INSIDE AS TO THE CONTROLS ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. *TR
