Description of the problem | 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.
