Senator Proposes Bill to make car rental safer
Sen. Charles Schumer proposed a bill to make car rental safer by using the same set of laws for car rental agencies and car dealerships.
Dealers are not allowed to sell cars that have been recalled before they are recalled, but a loophole allows car rental agencies to circumvent this rule. The senator pointed the case of the two women in California who died when their rental car, whose model was under recall, caught fire.
He also attacked the car rental agencies further by quoting the National Highway traffic Safety Administration report the only 50% of rental cars were repaired a year after they were notified. He said that the current practices of car rental agencies are dangerous and must be stopped.
