Description of the problem | Ford has failed to make a spare wheel/tire available for the 2015 mustang. It is not standard on all vehicles (a tire inflation kit is all it comes with) and the spare wheel/tire is on back order for all dealerships because supply is low and production is being prioritized over owner availability. Therefore, i am stuck without a spare wheel/tire. I have even tried to procure an aftermarket spare and 3 different tire stores have told me they do not have a compatible spare available. Ford is handling the availability of a spare wheel/tire as a shortage of an "accessory" as if it is a floor mat, rather than a safety critical part as a spare wheel/tire is. |
