Description of the problem | 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. |
