NHTSA Complaint #11083742 — 2017 FORD MUSTANG

I ORDERED AND PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW 9/2016 FROM MY FORD DEALER LIST $48,470. THIS VEHICLE HAS FROM FACTORY 20 INCH WHEELS WITH NON RUN FLAT TIRES. AFTER HAVING TIRE FAILURE I LEARNED THERE IS NO SPARE TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE SO I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO BUY A SPARE DONUT SPARE TIRE WHICH FITS IN TRUNK WELL. UNFORTUNATELY THE DONUT SPARE TIRE FROM FORD DOES NOT FIT ON REAR WHEELS OF MY VEHICLE WITH 20 INCH WHEELS PER FORD ENGINEERS IN DETROIT. PER FORD DEALER THERE IS NO FIX FOR MY PROBLEM BECAUSE RUN FLAT TIRES DO NOT EXIST IN THIS SIZE. MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE AND I CAN NOT DRIVE VEHICLE AS INTENDED AND ON TRIPS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND MANUFACTURERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL A VEHICLE WITHOUT PROVIDING A SPARE TIRE FOR THE VEHICLES THEY BUILD. A FLAT BED TOW TO GET A NEW TIRE( WHEN THEY CAN LOCATE ONE) AND A CAN OF GOOP IN TRUCK IS FORDS SOLUTION.....UNACCEPTABLE
