General Motors Cadillac Division No spare tire in the 2008 CTS! Good luck if you get a flat, or in my case a blow out. When requesting a space GM delined!! Detroit, Michigan

In June 2008 I leased a new Cadillac CTS from Jim Coleman Cadillac in Bethesda, MD.  The acquisition experience was flawless, at least that what I thought.  Everything went well until Saturday, October 3rd, when a tire split open after 12,537 miles.  I was able to get the vehicle home and could not get service until Monday.  The car had NO SPARE, NO JACK, only a foam canister to fill the tire.  That would not fix a split.  On Monday, October 5th the car was towed to the dealer.  I had the forsight to purchase a tire warranty from GM.  They paid for the repair, but it took until Wednesday, during which time I was without a vehicle.  I contacted GM through the 1-800-458-8006 and filed a report under number 71-765228414 with a rep named Bree on extension 33012.  All I asked was for a spare and jack.  I was told that I could buy it for $250!  That after a $50,000 cost to acquire the car.  At no time was I informed about the spare tire situation, and until then had no reason to look for it.  There is a tire well, but no tire.  I then contacted the corporate headquarters and spoke with Erica in the CEO's office (313-667-7153).  I was informed that the customer service rep needed time, and to wait.  I was assured that they would make this right. WRONG!!!  Today, on Thursday at about 1:00 eastern time, I was told that they would do nothing.  Case closed.  I was told that I should have requested it at the time of purchase.  If I had known about it, I would have, but since the sales person did not inform me of this and in fact steered clear of this information, I could not.  I did go to the dealership today, after the call and asked what they could do to help.  I was given the brush off.  DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, STAY CLEAR OF THE NEW GENERAL MOTORS AND THIS DEALERSHIP.  YOU WILL NOT GET ANY CONSIDERATION AFTER THEY GET YOUR MONEY.   What can I say, they are just another part of the government.
