10 irritating or dangerous “features” of 2 recent rental cars

The first position the tail lights are NOT ON so I drove on the highway at night for 2 hours with no tail lights. After someone told me what happened I noticed a few other minivans driving without tail lights.

Every other cruise control I have used you don’t need to look at it: you hold while you accelerate and let go at your speed.

So I held the cruise like usual and let go when I hit 65 mph. Then the car took off! I looked down and the cruise was set for 100 mph!

Even though there is a lot of glass I guess the pillars are quite wide and the mirrors don’t show much.

Lots of cars do this but on the jeep the starting is a hard start every time and the whole car shakes when it shuts off and shakes again when it starts back up. You don’t have power to the wheels for 10 to 15 seconds every single time you go to a stoplight.

This would be a much more obvious time to shut the engine off. I prefer to manage my own engine.

i was in a parking lot and needed to reposition the car. I rolled back about 4 feet and the car suddenly shifted into park! It gave me a message saying so but did not tell me why. I tried to roll forward and the same thing happened. I realized that it was because the driver door was not completely closed.

This could be a Jeep thing with the removable doors or operator error (me) but this was a minor nuisance.
