Car rental firms pull thousands of Toyotas and Pontiacs from fleets
Canadian Press
Car rental companies are pulling thousands of Toyotas and the Pontiac Vibe from their fleets over accelerator concerns. Toyota Motor Corp. is halting sales and production of eight car and truck models to fix faulty accelerator pedals following last week's massive recall. Avis Budget Group Inc. say it is immediately removing about 20,000 Toyotas from its rental fleets. Enterprise Holdings also says it is removing all Toyota and Pontiac Vibe vehicles, lumped into the recall, from its Alamo Rent A Car, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and National Car Rental chains.
