| Spare Tire problems |
Flat tire caused by pot-hole. Caused cut in tire. Discovered that car does not have a spare tire. Instead has a "fix-a-flat" kit. Did not work - will not work with a cut caused by a pot hole. The sealant will not seal a quarter inch long cut and so the kit pump will not inflate the tire. This is a dangerous condition. If similar incident happens on a highway long way from a repair facility, driver is stranded. For a woman, at night, in remote location, this is particularly dangerous. No deaths or bodily injury which is just a matter of time until such incidents occur.
