Avis rental car in las vegas, nv: Pressing the engine start/stop pushbutton switch caused the whole switch assembly to fall backwards down behind the dash panel, rendering the Taurus inoperable. Although this incident occurred in a parking lot, pressing the engine start/stop pushbutton switch and having it fall down into the dashboard area creates a potential serious safety issue. (this frequently used switch should not be mounted from behind the panel with the small tangs/grooves currently used.) I was unable to obtain the rental car VIN but have.jpg photos of the affected vehicle.
