About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The safety involved here is the inability to change a tire if it fails on the road. The plastic key and insert are inadequate for the job. The plastic on the key gives and the locking device on the hub cap becomes so tight that the plastic key will not remove it before failing. Each time I have had to have the tires rotated or changed, the mechanics required air tools and 1 inch socket. One occasion of a flat tire on a Texas highway placed my wife and I without the ability to change to the spare. Had not a very husky highway patrolment come to our rescue, we would have been stranded. In this incident we were able to get off the highway onto a private farm entrance.

Right front tire blew out while driving in the rain, defective tire is possible what caused the right front wheel to vibrate while driving (general ameri-G4S - P205-70R15).

Spare tire is not a standard tire, and is unsafe to be used. Spare tire and rim are both smaller then the 16' inch tires that are on the vehicle. Could NHTSA give additional information.
