Bought a Chevy Malibu for wifey last year. Front tire went flat - had a cut in the sidewall. Go to the trunk and there is no spare tire???? Has anyone ever heard of this on a brand new vehicle? Its not a new thing.

BS move but yes dealers have been doing it for several years. Most any junkyard will have some donut spares you can buy fairly cheap.
Anyone buying a new car should always ask for an extra (third) key fob and spare tire when closing the deal.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

Just now finding this out? You probably should have done a better inspection when you bought the car. Good luck.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Been this way for decades. Even on a full size truck getting a full size spare is an option.

Only time I've ever bought a car that didn't come with a spare was because the car came with run-flat tires. Since they ride like garbage, I swapped out for non-run flats and added a flat tire sealant/compressor kit.
Everything else has come with a spare as standard.

Honda CRV hybrids don’t but their non-hybrids do. Needed the space for the batteries I guess.

Exactly - I do but I'm trained to do a operational inspection on a vehicle I'm going to drive. That being said, I wouldn't tell you any of this is your fault.

On a similar note - I bought a new Dodge P/U in 91 and around 6-7 years later I had a flat. Dropped the spare for the first time that of course was covered in dirt/grime and wouldn't you know it...damn thing only had 5 lug holes whereas my truck had 6 lugs. Ended up going back to the dealership and had a heck of a battle until they finally gave me the right wheel.

All unmarked vehicles had a spare. The marked car flats were changed by a tire truck that kept about 10 Crown Vic wheels/tires in it ready to go.

when my GF bought her KIA, I looked to see if it had a donut or full-size spare. To my Shrigun, there was nothing. Available as an after-market purchase.

yeah you are a lot of help - let me guess .......... you are a car salesman???? Nope...just a consumer that checks what I'm buying BEFORE I buy it. How much help did you expect AFTER you bought the car a year ago?

Luckily it was discovered locally and not in the middle of nowhere on a long distance trip.
