Other steering/suspension problem

"The tires are very prone to punctures. There is no spare in the vehicle, only a single-use fix-a-flat contraption. The replacement tires for the hybrid are not commonly held by dealers so it must be ordered. The first time it took 3 days to get a tire because it had to be ordered from another state. The second time, it only took one day to get it replaced. If I had known how delicate the tires on a hybrid were, I would not have bothered with a hybrid."
