 Gas pedal would not work. avis puts rubber floor mats over cloth floor mats that have hooks embedded in time to hold the factory floor mats in place. i did not know they had did this. over the course of several hours of driving the rubber floor mat slid forward under the gas pedal rendering it inoperable; i coasted over to side of road and discovered the problem, pulled the rubber floormat back towards the front seat and it happened a 2nd time a few hours later where i lost complete use of the gas pedal so i put the rubber mats in the trunk. i reported this to avis. an avis rep says this is a standard corporate policy so they can save wear on the cloth rug style floor mats. i asked them to reexamine their corporate policy. i hope your agency can review this practice and make a recommendation to avis. with all the issue surrounding car accelerator pedals and after market floor mats jamming them it seems they have taken leave of common sense. *tr
