Consumer Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU ECO AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS NO SPARE TIRE. HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT ALLOW MANUFACTURERS TO SELL VEHICLES WITH NO SPARE TIRES? A COMPRESSOR AND TIRE SEALANT WILL NOT WORK WITH A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT, OR AN UNREPAIRABLE PUNCTURE. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER ABOUT PURCHASING A SPARE WITH A JACK, AND THE COST WAS $500 - WHICH IS RIDICULOUS!! I YOU WANT TO MAKE HIGHWAYS SAFE, INSIST THAT MANUFACTURERS OFFER SPARE TIRES AND JACKS AT A REASONABLE PRICE, OR MAKE SPARE TIRES MANDATORY. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK. THANK YOU *TR
