I recently experienced the serious consequences of their decision .  While driving to work in my new 2025 Toyota Prius, I got a flat tire. I manage to get to work and parked in a parking garage.   My husband came to help and went to install the spare. He opened the trunk and found Styrofoam under the liner with a tire inflation kit... no spare tire! We had a horrible experience for the next three days!!! So...  Consumer Beware: \u2022 Tire kit is not a solution; it does not work for all leaks. \u2022 Tow trucks can not access cars in parking garages due to low height. \u2022 Driving out could damage tire rims. \u2022 Health risks from exposure to the tire inflation chemicals: headaches within an hour, lasting into the next day, skin irritation, and respiratory inflammation/congestion.  Time, Labor, and Cost;  (It's all on the consumer)  After days and many hours of calling Toyota, the dealer, and tire shops, we had to: \u2022  drive back to remove the flat tire \u2022  order a new tire \u2022  deliver to the flat tire to the shop \u2022 pick up the new tire the next day \u2022 drive back to replace the flat ourselves.  Solutions / Warnings: \u2022 Spare tire: Toyota does not make one, leaving consumers without options. \u2022 Consumers must rely on unreliable tire kits, roadside assistance towing to a dealership (which could not help because tow trucks can not fit in parking garage) or do it all yourself. \u2022 No adequate health warnings on the tire kit\u2014contains natural rubber (latex), propylene, and ammonia.   Toyota reps offered no empathy or real solutions, only demeaning statements that consumer should know that Toyota (and other automakers) no longer includes spare tires only ineffective tire kits, leaving   Toyota and others removing spare tires to save money and appear to improve gas mileage creates serious risk for consumers.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"PRIUS","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
