| Spare Tire problems |
I rented a kia Forte from avis. I got a flat tire that was not repairable. I called aaa. There was no spare tire. I learned that kia and many other manufacturers now do not provide a spare tire. This is exceptionally dangerous because you could get trapped in a remote location, in a desert, wilderness or very cold area and die. I propose that NHTSA require all rental cars to have spare tires (the kia had a space for one), and further that new cars disclose prominently that there is no spare tire.
