On one trip my rental car's engine would not turn off no matter what I did so I took it to the SL Enterprise facility where their employees all had a big laugh at my expense until they found they could not turn the engine off either. They provided me with a replacement vehicle but I stuck around and the last I saw was the car was being loaded onto a flatbed tow truck, engine still running...lol
This reminds me of an incident in California. I rented a car, went to a motel, and the next morning, got back into the car, put it in reverse, and it would not reverse. So I had to call and have the car replaced. Consequently I was very late to a meeting where I was the featured speaker.
