| Description of the problem | I recently rented a 2019 jeep wrangler from avis at mccarran airport in las vegas. The avis vehicle number was 90380010. The rental agreement number was 420140943. The vehicle had an aftermarket piece of electronic equipment installed by avis under the driver side dashboard, probably a gps device of some kind. The device was plugged into the vehicle's electrical system on the left hand wall of the passenger compartment, with a cord about 12-18 inches long stretched out under the dashboard. The device was very poorly installed. While i was driving, the device dropped out from behind the dashboard, and the cord wrapped itself around the brake pedal, with the device itself falling immediately behind the pedal. The actual device was about 2 inches by 3 inches. It blocked the brake pedal, reducing available braking by 80 percent. Fortunately, i was traveling at a slow speed on a quiet street and was able to bring the car to a halt. |
