2017 Chevrolet Corvette complaints

LEFT, DRIVER'S WHEEL CRACKED WITH NORMAL DAILY DRIVING.

IN UNDER 15000 MILES THIS CRACK WAS FOUND AT A TIRE REPLACEMENT. I'M GLAD IT WAS CAUGHT BEFORE ANY KIND OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE WHEEL WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THERE WERE NO OTHER SIGNS OF DAMAGE, ABUSE, OR BENDING.

WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD AROUND 14K MILES ON IT MY REAR TIRES WE WORN BAD.SO I REPLACED BOTH REARS.THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO COME LOOK AT THE 2 BENT RIMS I HAVE.I ASKED IF HE COULD BALANCE THEM.HE DID THE BEST HE COULD.I HAVE A BAD VIBRATION WHEN PASSING AT H WAY SPEED AND AFTER A NEW ALIGNMENT THE CAR WONDERS ALOT.COST OF 2 NEW RIMS AND BEING UNAVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT HAS PUT SAFTEY IN THE BACKSEAT. I AM VERY CAREFUL DRIVING TO AVOID POT HOLES AND PAVEMENT IMPERFECTIONS.REPORTS OF THESE RIMS CRACKING.HOPEFULLY NO ONE GETS KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.GM WILL NOT HONOR ANY REPLACEMENTS EVEN IF YOU HAD 100 MILES ON VEHICLE.VERY POOR DESIGN TO PASS FOR USA STANDARDS RIMS ARE POORLY DESIGNED AND DEEMED UNSAFE. I BET MY FRONTS ARE BENT TOO? WHEN MY TIRES NEED REPLACING THEY WILL BE CHECKED

2017 OEM CORVETTE GRAND SPORT WHEELS ARE UNSAFE DUE TO SOFT MATERIAL. I HAVE HAD 3 BENT WHEELS STRAIGHTENED LAST YEAR, AND NOW I HAVE 1 BENT REAR WHEEL AND 1 CRACKED REAR WHEEL. CHEVROLET IS NOT CORRECTING THIS SITUATION UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE A SECONDARY TIRE AND WHEEL CONTRACT THAT I BOUGHT FROM MY DEALER. THE PROVIDER IS STATING THAT THEY WILL ONLY PAY TO A MAXIMUM OF $600 IN CLAIMS FOR WHEEL REPAIR, UNLESS THE WHEELS/TIRES STOP HOLDING AIR. THIS IS GM'S PROBLEM TO FIX.

MY CAR HAS ALMOST 2000 MILES ON IT. I HAD A SLIGHT VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER EXPECTING A WHEEL BALANCE PROBLEM BUT FOUND OUT THAT I HAD 3 BENT WHEELS. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CORVETTE. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN, STRENGTH, ISSUE WITH THE WHEELS. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR I CAN'T REMEMBER HITTING ANYTHING THAT WOULD BEND 3 WHEELS. I DON'T ABUSE THE CAR. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER GETTING NO SATISFACTION. THEY TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. I ALSO WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM VERY LEARY ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR. GM SHOULD BEAR SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITY.

MY GRAND SPORT HAS MULTIPLE WHEEL ISSUES, SAFETY ISSUES. THE WHEELS ARE PRONE TO CRACKING AND BENDING. HAPPENS OFTEN, TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK ON 2 DIFFERENT WHEELS, TIRES GO FLAT, WHEEL HAS TO BE WELDED OR REPLACED EACH INCIDENT. TIRES ARE NOT CAPABLE OF REINSTALLING MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SAFETY. GM DOES NOT WANT TO WARRANTY THIS SITUATION, COSTING ME HOURS OF LOST WORK, INABILITY TO TRUST THE CAR FOR REGULAR OR PLEASURE DRIVING AND COSTING ME THOUSANDS $. NOW, GM HAS A MULTI MONTH BACK ORDER ON REPLACEMENT WHEELS (AT MY COST) AND THIS CAR HAS NO SPARE AS THESE ARE RUN FLAT TIRES. SO CAR BECOMES USELESS AND UNSAFE. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE 'THOUSANDS' OF SIMILAR OWNER SITUATIONS ACCORDING TO CAPSTONE LAW FIRM WANTING TO ENLIST ME IN A CLASS ACTION. I PREFER A GM SWIFT AND FAIR SOLUTION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE CAR AND FOR THE WAY THEY ARE TREATING US. DENYING ANY ISSUES. I DON'T TRACK OR RACE MY CAR, I'M AN OLDER DRIVER WHO ENJOYS DRIVING AND LIVE IN LOS ANGELES WHERE I DRIVE 50 MILES R/T DAILY TO WORK AT A WHOPPING SPEED OF MAYBE 20 MPH DUE TO TRAFFIC ON THE 101 FWY.

2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT 9,200 MILES. HAD SUDDEN AIR LEAK IN LEFT REAR TIRE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL TIRE SHOP EXPECTING FOR THEM TO TELL ME I HAD A NAIL OR SOMETHING IN THE TIRE. MUCH TO MY SUPRISE HE SHOWED ME A CRACK ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRE AND NOT EVEN A SCRATCH ON RIM JUST A CRACK. WE HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, MY DEALER OR TIRE SHOP HAVE FOUND CRACKED OR SEVERELY BENT WHEELS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE SEVERAL OF THEM OUT-OF-POCKET AT A COST OF NEARLY $1000 PER WHEEL. THERE WAS USUALLY NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM BESIDES A SLOW AIR LEAK. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN GREAT CARE TO AVOID POTHOLES AND LARGE BUMPS.

PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL CRACKED AROUND 20K MILES. NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRE OR RIM. I FOUND THE CRACK WHILE CLEANING THE INSIDE BARREL OF THE WHEEL.

I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE WHEEL REPAIR COMPANY 2 TIMES FOR CRACKS IN THE WHEELS. THE SECOND TIME THERE WERE 2 CRACKS IN THE SAME WHEEL AS THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN. THEY WELDED THEM TO REPAIR.

AFTER HAVING MY CORVETTE BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE OF A VIBRATION WHEN TRAVELING AROUND 55-60 MPH, I WAS TOLD I HAD FOUR BENT RIMS, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOO SAID, THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE DEFECTIVE WHEELS. RECEIVED A WARNING ON MY INFORMATION CENTER THAT MY LEFT REAR TIRE WAS LOW ON AIR. I PROCEEDED TO REMOVE THE TIRE AND FOUND THREE CRACKS ON THE LEFT TIRE, AND I ALSO REMOVED ALL THE OTHER WHEELS AND FOUND THE RIGHT REAR ALSO WAS CRACKED. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO TOM HESSER CHEVROLET, AND THEY SAID, THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO.

BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY LES THAN 5 MPH TRAFFIC SUDDENLY STOPPED I DEPRESSED BRAKE AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP. SLIGHT REAR END COLLISION RESULTED. A SECOND AND SIMILAR TRAFFIC CONDITION RESULTED AT LOW SPEED THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE APPROPRIATELY. I HAD TO FULLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE ACTING LIKE IT DOESNT HAVE 'POWER' BRAKES.

I OWN A 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE GRAND SPORT. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 12,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT CAME TIME FOR NEW REAR TIRES AND WHEN THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WAS REMOVED FROM THE CAR A CRACK WAS IMMEDIATELY NOTICED. THE TIRES WERE NOT REMOVED AND THE CAR WENT TO THE DEALER. I HAD THEM CHECK ALL 4 WHEELS AND I WAS TOLD THAT 3 WHEELS WERE CRACKED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WHEELS ARE NOT COVERED AND THAT GM BLAMES POTHOLES OR OPERATOR ERROR. THERE ARE NO MARK'S ON ANY TIRES OR SAME THAT WOULD SHOW POTHOLE DAMAGE. THE CAR IS MARKETED AS A TRACK CAR BUT DRIVING THE CAR AT ANY SPEED WITH CRACK WHEELS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND COULD EASILY KILL SOMEONE. A RECALL NEEDS IMPLEMENTED ASAP AS I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY LARGE PROBLEM.

THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL IS CRACKED. I NOTICED THAT I WAS LOSING TIRE PRESSURE FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. I THOUGHT I HAD HIT A NAIL AND CAUSED A PUNCTURE. I TOOK IT FOR INSPECTION AND FOUND THE RIM HAD CRACKED. THE PRESSURE WAS LOST DURING THE TIME IT WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE.

PASSENGER-SIDE REAR WHEEL CRACKED IN THREE PLACES. I NOTICED THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES GOING DOWN SO WENT TO GET IT INVESTIGATED BY LOCAL TIRE SHOP WHO FOUND THE THREE CRACKS. GM WON'T HONOR THEIR BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH IS INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING, DESPITE THE CAR ONLY BEING 2 YEARS OLD WITH 9K MILES ON IT.

2 BENT WHEELS

FRONT WHEELS (TIRES) RUB WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN. DEALERSHIP REPORT THAT THE CONDITION IS "NORMAL". I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE. I FILED THIS REPORT PREVIOUSLY [#11234279] BUT HAVEN'T RECEIVED A REPORT. WITH THIS REPORT I AM SUBMITTING THE MODERN DEALERSHIP SERVICE REPORT.

ALL 4 WHEELS ARE BENT, INCLUDING ONE THAT IS ALSO CRACKED. 4600 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES OR OTHER SERIOUS ROAD HAZARDS. CAR IS UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. GM WILL NOT COVER REPAIR.

REAR RT WHEEL CRACKED. WHEEL IS ON BACK ORDER AND MY DEALER SAID THEY HAVE REPLACED 50 0F THEM IN THE LAST FEW YEARS THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IF THAT MANY CRACK

WENT TO DEALER FOR VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING. WAS TOLD I HAVE 4 BENT WHEELS. READING CORVETTE FORUM INFORMATION IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE WHEEL. THEY BENT AND CRACK. THE CAR WAS NEVER OF ROAD OR ON A TRACK. THIS IS A NORMAL DRIVEN CAR WITH 17000 MILES.

4 BENT OEM WHEELS, LESS THAN 2,000 MILES ON CAR. NEVER HIT A MAJOR ROAD HAZARD, NEVER TRACKED. CAR VIBRATED AT CERTAIN SPEEDS EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW AND I AM THE 1ST OWNER. I REPLACED ALL 4 WHEELS WITH AFTERMARKET FORGED WHEELS, NOW - NO VIBRATION AT ALL. WHEN YOU SPIN THE OEM RIMS YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE ALL SLIGHTLY OUT OF ROUND.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2017 CORVETTE GRANDSPORT CONVERTIBLE. WITH UNDER 6,000 MILES, I NOTICED A WHIRRING SOUND FROM THE FRONT WHEELS IN JULY 2019. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE ROAD. THEN I NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK THE FRONT WHEELS OFF THE CAR AND TOOK THEM TO GOODYEAR TO CHECK THE BALANCE. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THE FRONT WHEELS WERE BENT, EVEN THOUGH THEY LOOKED PRISTINE. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER TO GET THE WHEELS WARRANTIED. THEY DETERMINED ALL 4 WHEELS WERE OUT OF TOLERANCE FOR RUN OUT. MY SERVICE ORDER STATED THE 0.03' WAS THE SPECIFICATION. MY WORST WHEEL MEASURE 0.075' AND BEST WAS 0.035'. THE REAR WHEELS WERE BETWEEN THE HIGH AND LOW VALUES. THE SERVICE ORDER STATED THAT THE WHEELS NEEDED REPLACED TO CORRECT THE VIBRATION. I WORKED WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2019. THEY INITIALLY TOLD ME THAT MY WHEELS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I REFUSED REPAIR. THE WHOLE POINT OF OF GOING TO THE DEALER WAS TO FIX MY WHEELS. THEN THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DEALER DENIED MY WARRANTY. I ASKED FOR TRANSCRIPTS OF MY CONVERSATION S WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID NO. IT TOOK A MONTH TO GET WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION THAT MY WARRANTY WAS DENIED AFTER NUMEROUS REQUESTS. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AS BAD AS THEIR WHEELS. THEY TOLD ME REPLACEMENT WHEELS WERE UNAVAILABLE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE. I CALLED MY DEALER 3 TIMES BETWEEN 8/12/19 AND 9/16/19 TO CHECK WHEEL AVAILABILITY FOR MY CAR. EA

IN APRIL 2019, MY CAR'S RIGHT REAR WHEEL LOST AIR PRESSURE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I DISCOVERED THAT THE WHEEL HAD A HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE INSIDE LIP, SO I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THE WHEEL. IN SEPTEMBER 2019, MY CAR'S LEFT REAR WHEEL LOST AIR PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY. I DISCOVERED THAT THE WHEEL HAD 3 HAIRLINE CRACKS ON THE INSIDE LIP, SO AGAIN I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THE WHEEL.

WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM THE NATIONAL CORVETTE MUSEUM IN BOWLING GREEN KY TO CA, MY LEFT REAR WHEEL DEVELOPED A CRACK LOSING AIR PRESSURE EVERY 30-50 MILES. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC VEHICLE ACCIDENT DRIVING HOME TO CA. GM WILL NOT WARRANTY THE WHEEL EVEN THOUGH ITS ONLY DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AND IS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY PERIOD (17,000 MILES ON VEHICLE). BECAUSE I CANNOT TRUST ANY OF THESE WHEELS, I AM FORCED TO BUY AFTERMARKET FORGED WHEELS AT A COST OF $4800 LIKELY A COST THAT I WILL NEVER RECOUP. AS FAR AS I SEE IT, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT EARLY IN THE C7 DEVELOPMENT CYCLE. NONE OF MY PRIOR 6 CORVETTES HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE WHEELS DEVELOPING CRACKS.

ORDERED MY CAR AND PICKED UP @ BOWLING GREEN KY AS A FACTORY DELIVERY(AT CORVETTE MUSEUM) I HAD HAD PROBLEMS WITH WHEEL BENDING AND CRACKING. HAD A TIRE GOING FLAT. HAD ALL TIRES CHECKED AND REBALANCED AT DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THEY WERE BENT. TALKED US INTO REPAIRING THEM. SHORT WILL LATE HAD TIRE COMPLETE FLAT ON THE DRIVE. TOOK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. WHEEL BENT AGAIN AND SOME CRACKED. THEY SAY THE ARE NOT PART OF THE CAR. NEVER SEEN CAR GOING DOWN THE STREET WITHOUT WHEELS. THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE AGAIN. I CAN'T KEEP PAYING FOR REPAIRS ON DEFECT WHEELS. I HAVE THE WHEELS STORED IN MY ATTIC IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO INVESTIGATE, THIS VERY DANGEROUS PRODUCT ON THESE CORVETTES. I COULD NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY SO I REPLACED THE 4 WHEELS AT MY EXPENSE. GM DID NOT PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS, OR NEW WHEELS.

RIGHT, REAR WHEEL FAILED AT APPROX 9,000 MILES. TWO CRACKS ON INTERIOR SIDE APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES LONG. THIS WAS NOTICED BECAUSE OF A SLOW LEAK. GM REFUSES TO COVER UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER OR OTHER WARRANTY. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OR EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE TIRE.

I TRIED TO CONTACT THE CHEVROLET DEALER TWICE, BUT THEY DIDN'T RESPOND TO MY REQUEST. WHEN I CALLED 1800 NUMBER, IT KEPT GETTING DISCONNECT

CRACKS DISCOVERED ON REAR WHEELS. TIRE RETAILER DISCOVERED CRACKS IN THE VEHICLES REAR WHEELS AND RECOMMENDED THE WHEELS BE REPLACED/REPAIRED.

THE FACTORY WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE ARE CRACKING WITHOUT BEING SUBJECTED TO HARSH ROAD CONDITIONS. IN THIS VEHICLES CASE ONE FRONT WHEEL WAS REPLACED AFTER A FLAT TIRE. THE REAR WHEELS HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY FLATS AND NEVER WERE SUBJECTED TO ANY BUMPS, POTHOLES, ETC. THE ONLY REASON THE CRACKS WERE FOUND WAS DUE TO THE TIRE INSTALLER FINDING THEM. THE CAR TECHNICALLY WAS BEING DRIVEN IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION UNTIL THE REAR WHEELS WERE DISCOVERED TO HAVE CRACKS DURING A BRAKE INSPECTION. 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE GRAND SPORT. MILEAGE: 25,000

2017 GRAND SPORT ALL 4 RIMS BENT LESS THAT 10000 MILES CHEVY NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT I EVEN FOUND AN ARTICLE FROM CAR AND DRIVER MAGAZINE DATED OCTOBER 15 2018 AND THEY EVEN HAD ISSUES WITH THE RIMS

ON JULY 24, 2019 I STARTED MY 2017 C-7 GRAND SPORT CORVETTE AND NOTICED A RIGHT REAR TIRE LOW PRESSURE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND DECIDED TO LEAVE IT IN THE GARAGE AND USE ONE OF MY OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO SERVICE THE TIRE AT THAT TIME. THE CAR HAS REMAINED PARKED DUE TO VACATION AND WORK SINCE THEN. TODAY, AUGUST 23, 2019 I CHECKED THE TIRE AND IT HAD ZERO PRESSURE. I REMOVED THE WHEEL AND NOTICED TWO CRACKS ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE WHEEL. I SPRAYED SOME SOAPY WATER AND VERIFIED THAT THE WHEEL IS LEAKING AIR FROM ONE OF THE CRACKS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE HOW TO GO ABOUT CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS AND NOTICED MULTIPLE ONLINE COMPLAINTS TO INCLUDE A CHEVROLET CORVETTE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BY PLAINTIFF FILED ON 04/30/19 WHICH CLAIMS WHEELS EASILY BEND AND CRACK. I WILL CALL A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO INQUIRE ABOUT REPLACEMENT BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK PROMISING BASED ON EVERYTHING I'VE READ ON LINE. MY VEHICLE HAS 10,264 MILES AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

ALL 4 OEM FACTORY WHEELS ARE BENT. ADDITIONALLY, IN 2018 ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS WAS BENT. IT ULTIMATELY CRACKED AND WOULD NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN "TRACKED" OR DRIVEN ON ROADS OR STREETS WITH LARGE POTHOLES.

CRACKED RIM ON 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT

BOTH REAR WHEELS HAVE CRACKED!!! GM REFUSED TO COVER VIA THEIR "BUMPER-TO-BUMPER" WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE 2017 CORVETTES THAT HAVE SUFFERED THIS SERIOUS, DANGEROUS PROBLEM! THESE WHEELS (MADE IN CHINA????) NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY GM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! NOTE THIS IS THE 2ND WHEEL PROBLEM WITH THESE WHEELS. THE OTHER REAR WHEEL CRACKED BACK ON 6/1/2019.

THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND WONT STEER.

BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALER FOR A RECALL. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, I WAS TOLD, AND THE INVOICE EVIDENCES IT, THAT I HAD THREE BENT WHEELS AND ONE CRACKED WHEEL. I DRIVE PRIMARILY ON HIGHWAY ROADS AND DON'T RECALL HITTING ANY POTHOLES. I DON'T TRACK THE CAR. THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TIRES ARE STILL ON THE CAR (TIRE LIFE IS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND 10,000 MILES) AND CURRENTLY HAVE 13,000 MILES ON THEM. THERE IS STILL DECENT TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES WHICH PROVES THAT THERE IS NO AGGRESSIVE DRIVING. I'VE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FROM MY DEALER. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE CORVETTE C7 FORUM ABOUT THE 2016 Z06 AND 2017-19 Z06 AND GRAND SPORT WHEELS HAVING BENT AND CRACKED WHEELS, MANY WITH LESS THAN 1,000 MILES ON THE CAR. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE IN SPITE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE COMPANY.

MY 2017 ZO6 HAS APPROXIMATELY TEN THOUSAND MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST YEAR I'VE HAD MY TIRES BALANCED MANY TIMES TO TRY TO FIX A VIBRATION. I TOOK IT TO A WHEEL SPECIALIST ONLY TO FIND ALL FOUR OF MY RIMS ARE NOT ROUND, THEY ARE ALL BENT. MY 3 YEAR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND GM WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO A TIRE COMPANY FOUND A CRACK IN ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS OF MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT. THE CRACK WAS PERPENDICULAR ACROSS THE INSIDE RIM OF THE WHEEL WHERE THE TIRE BEAD MEETS THE WHEEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER WHO EXAMINED THE WHEELS AND FOUND ANOTHER IDENTICAL CRACK IN THE OTHER REAR WHEEL. OTHER THAN THE CRACKS, THE WHEELS WERE UNMARRED. WHILE CLEANING MY WHEELS, I NOTICED ANOTHER IDENTICAL CRACK IN THE IDENTICAL LOCATION ON ONE OF MY REPLACED REAR WHEELS. THE WHEEL WAS OTHERWISE UNMARRED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVROLET DEALER, WHO TOOK PHOTOS AND SENT THEM TO GM FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT APPROVAL. GM DECLINED TO COVER THE WHEEL UNDER WARRANTY. I APPEALED THE DENIAL WHICH WAS GIVEN GM CASE [XXX]. THE APPEAL WAS DENIED. I ASKED THAT IT BE ESCALATED AND THAT ESCALATED APPEAL WAS DENIED. GM STATED THAT AFTER EXAMINING THE PHOTOS, THEY DETERMINED THE CRACK WAS NOT A RESULT OF DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP. THESE CRACKED WHEELS CONSTITUTE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, PARTICULARLY SINCE THEY ARE IN AN AREA THAT MOST CONSUMERS WOULD NOT INSPECT. I BELIEVE THE CRACKS ARE A RESULT OF POOR DESIGN, SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS, POOR WORKMANSHIP OR A COMBINATION THEREOF. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

FRONT WHEEL RUB WHEN IN MOTION TURNING SHARPLY LEFT OR RIGHT. DEALERSHIP DOCUMENT TO ME STATES THAT THIS IS A "3030 NORMAL CONDITION".

TOOK CAR TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER WITH A VIBRATION - 7/16/2019 - RECEIVED A CALL BACK THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS ARE BENT, CAR HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN BABIED IT'S WHOLE LIFE. THEY QUOTED COST TO REPLACE, SAID THE FACTORY WHEELS ARE NOT COVERED.

THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MONITOR FOR THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE WHEEL HAD A CRACK IN IT; WOULD NEED A NEW WHEEL. WAS TOLD WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH FOR THE PART TO COME IN; IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING, COULD NOT WAIT A MONTH. FOUND A RIM REPAIR SHOP THAT REPAIRED THE CRACK AND ALSO NOTED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WAS BENT. THE REPAIR SHOP FIXED BOTH PROBLEMS OR SO I THOUGHT. WAS TRAVELING TO MY NEW WORK DESTINATION AND THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE SENSOR LIGHT CAME BACK ON. FOUND ANOTHER RIM REPAIR SHOP WHO TOLD ME THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE - THE WHEEL HAD OTHER CRACKS IN IT. HAD TO ORDER A NEW WHEEL FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP.

CRACK IN BOTH REAR WHEELS DUE TO VEHICLE VIBRATION.

BOTH REAR RIMS HAVE CRACKS IN THEM. THE LEFT REAR RIM HAS 3 1" CRACKS ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE RIM, THE RIGHT SIDE HAS 2 1" CRACKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM. THE CAR HAS 13,000 MILES ON IT.. THE CRACKS CAUSE THE TIRES TO LOSE AIR. THE RIMS ARE NOT REPAIRABLE AND GM REFUSES TO WARRANT THE DEFECTIVE RIMS. THE DAMAGE OCCURRED IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS CAR IS STORED IN THE WINTER MONTHS AND IS NOT DRIVEN FOR 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. I HAD A TIRE GAUGE INDICATE THAT MY RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS DOWN TO 24LBS. I PUMPED UP THE TIRE AND WATCHED IF FOR A COULPE OF DAYS. IT CONTINUED TO LOOSE AIR PRESSURE SO I TOOK IT TO A QUALIFIED TIRE DEALERSHIP THINKING I HAD A PUNCTURED TIRE. THE SHOP NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TIRE WAS FINE BUT THAT THE RIM HAD 3 ONE INCH CRACKS IN IT. I WENT TO MY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HAD THEM DOCUMENT THE ISSUE TAKE PICTURES AND NOTIFY GM OF MY CLAIM. GM REJECTED THE CLAIM WITH IN 2 HOURS AND CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZZARDS.

1 CRACK ON LEFT REAR RIM 4 MONTHS AGO. 3 CRACKS ON RIGHT RIM THIS WEEK

I WAS NOTIFIED BY MY ON-STAR THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ON A RECALL, REGARDING THE EPS ELECIRONIC POWER STEERING COULD BE LOSS AND COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
