Description of the problem | I did not have a accident but i am sending this with a concern about what might happen because of an incident. Chevrolet traverse does not come with a spare, (temporary or full size) or jack. It also does not have a place to put a spare tire. I had a flat tire that could not be repaired and all that came with the vehicle is a can of sealant and air tank. Now i will have to buy a spare and put it in back of my vehicle and this will be a huge safety issue. I bought this traverse for the 3rd row seating but will not be able to use it because i have no other place designated to put a spare other than just place in the back section. I have 4 small grandchildren and in case of an accident the tire will be a major concern but we live in an area where sometimes phone/onstar does not work so we have to have spare tires. Everyone that i have told about this is shocked that it these vehicles does not come with at least a " temporary tire". I have contacted chevrolet and they want to charge $700 for the cable, tire, jack to be added to vehicle. |
