NHTSA Complaint #10641470 — 2012 DODGE JOURNEY

ISSUE WITH 2012 DODGE JOURNEY CREW: DODGE ONLY OFFERED 19" WHEEL BUT PUT AN UNDERSIZED 16" SPARE TIRE IN CAR. THE DIMENSION OF WHEEL DODGE USED TAKES A TIRE THAT IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE AND ONLY MANUFACTURED BY A SMALL NUMBER OF TIRE PRODUCERS. THIS SITUATION PUTS AN OWNER IN A PREDICAMENT WHEN A TIRE FAILS. POSSIBLY BE STUCK SOME WHERE IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN A TIRE OR WEEKS TO GET OR HAVE TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES ON A WHEEL THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT IN DIAMETER THAN THE OTHER WHEELS. THIS IS NOT A SAFE SITUATION. MY PERSONAL INFORMATION IS NOT NEEDED BY YOU OR ANY ONE ELSE. THE ABOVE STATEMENTS ARE FACTS WHICH SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. I KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS DO NOT CARE THE SLIGHTEST BIT ABOUT A CUSTOMERS CONCERNS. THEY LIE ARE ARROGANT AND RUDE AND VINDICTIVE. THE ABOVE ISSUE APPLIES TO ALL 2012 DODGE JOURNEY CREW VEHICLES MADE AT THAT TIME. *TR
