UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

WE HAD A TIRE BLOWOUT ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND DISCOVERED THERE WAS NO SPARE TIRE IN OUR NEW CAR. THE DEVICE TO REPAIR THE TIRE DIDN'T WORK AS THE TIRE WAS RIPPED. WE HAD TO WAIT 2 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK, WITH HUGE TRUCKS PASSING US AT 80 MPH, VERY CLOSE. WE WERE TERRIFIED. WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AS WE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE RIPPED THE TIRE. THE CAR IS NEW, STILL UNDER WARRANTY. EVERY CAR SHOULD HAVE A SPARE TIRE FOR EMERGENCIES LIKE THIS. WE DID NOT KNOW IT DIDN'T HAVE ONE.

Potential Consequences:

THERE IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE HEAD RESTS ON THIS VEHICLE. THE DEFAULT SETTING IS MUCH TOO FAR FORWARD, CAUSING A FORWARD HEAD AND NECK POSTURE, RESULTING IN HEADACHES, NECK PAIN, ETC., AND MAKE IT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE, AND DIFFICULT TO CHECK BLIND SPOTS. IT ALSO FORCES THE DRIVER'S HEAD VERY CLOSE THE AIRBAG, WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU MOVE THE SEAT BACK, THEN YOU ARE TOO RECLINED TO DRIVE ATTENTIVELY. ONLINE SEARCHES AND COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER TELL ME I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS, AND IT IS SUPPOSEDLY THE RESULT OF NHTSA REGULATIONS. THIS IS TERRIBLE IF TRUE.
