I purchased a 2012 Hyundai Accent 5 door 03/02/21012 and discovered after the purchase there was no spare tire just a repair kit. I was not told before the purchase. Who would even think that a spare was not included. This is a safety issue especially if you are on the side of the road in the dark and it's inclement weather . The tire kit instructions are hard to understand. I contacted Hyundai and my secretary of state to complain about the safety issue. Hyundai's explanation was it was for better mileage and the dealer told me that Hyundai now makes a spare for the 2012 elantra for a price and the spare for the Accent is in process,once again for a price. It will be an option . I have also contacted my aaa because if I get a flat they will have to use the kit or tow me,for a price , to the nearest dealer. Better mileage is great but so isn't safety.

I bought a Hyundai Accent 2001 new at car pros in lacey (now sold). On the incident date I had a flat tire from a screw in tire at church. A friend changed the tire for me and put on the spare tire(little one). I noticed it looked very low. They told me not to drive it to work since I work a half-hour away and drive on the freeway (I-5). I went to les schwab and had them fix the flat tire & asked if they would look at the spare also. They told me the spare already had a plug from a hole in it and that they replaced that plug and filled the tire up properly. Had I been on the freeway I would have had another flat and been stuck out there. Needless to say I was upset that the new car I bought had a used spare tire in it. Since I bought the car, car pros in lacey, wa was sold to titus-will in olympia, wa, so I called them to ask what do I do to get a new spare tire. The general manager called me and after discussing the matter had his staff take my car to les schwab to put a new spare tire in the car. I wonder how many other cars were sold new with used spare tires? it also makes you wonder were the tires on the car new or old? this was my first new car and didn't have a clue to check.
