Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Car dealers are allowed to sell new cars with no spare tire or jack. I assume this is to increase the potential gas mileage for advertising. Their policy is to only include a can of air which may or may not work when needed. They are also not keeping replacement tires in stock. This can of air is a hazard to keep in a car in arizona when the temperatures in the summer reach 115 degrees. And with the dealership not stocking the tires, my car was not drivable and strands the motorist.”
NHTSA complaint #10399081, filed 2011-05, 2,000 miles“No spare tire, jack, or lug wrench was supplied with this car. Apparently several other manufacturers are doing the same, ostensibly to save on weight and achieve a higher mpg rating. This automobile was sold to my 21 year old daughter who had a blowout. Had she been in a dangerous situation it could easily have resulted in assault and/or death from a crime of opportunity. I have filed a complaint with the consumer protection agency and with Hyundai. Please stop automobile manufacturers from practicing this potentially criminally negligent sales practice immediately. …”
