2019 Chevrolet Corvette complaints

MUCH LIKE MANY OF THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER CORVETTE GRAND SPORT (C7) OWNERS WITH BENT OR CRACKED WHEEL COMPLAINTS, MY CAR HAS FALLEN VICTIM TO GM'S DEFECTIVE DESIGN ACCORDING TO THE CORVETTE SPECIALIST AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR HIRED BY MY THIRD PARTY WARRANTY COMPANY TO REVIEW MY DAMAGE CLAIM. ALL FOUR WHEELS ON MY VEHICLE HAVE SUFFERED, "CATASTROPHIC" DAMAGE ACCORDING TO THE INVESTIGATION DONE BY AN UNBIASED THIRD PARTY AND REPORTED TO THE WARRANTY COMPANY, WHO SUBSEQUENTLY HAVE DENIED MY CLAIM FOR COVERAGE. ALL FOUR WHEELS ARE BENT ON THE INSIDE OF THE BARREL, WITH ONE ALSO BEING CRACKED (LEFT REAR WHEEL). ACCORDING TO THE INDEPENDENT INSPECTORS REPORT, THE DAMAGE WAS NOT CAUSED BY A ROAD HAZARD, BUT BY A DEFECTIVE OEM DESIGN. NOT ONLY IS THIS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A BRAND NEW $75,000 VEHICLE, GM AND OTHER REGULATORY / GOVERNING BODIES ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON TAKING MEANINGFUL ACTION, PLACING LIVES AT DIRECT RISK. AS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, GM IS DENYING COVERAGE ACROSS THE BOARD, AND AVOIDING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF A DESIGN ISSUE WHILE OWNERS ARE HUNG OUT TO FOOT A $3600 BILL TO REPLACE A SET OF WHEELS. THIS DAMAGE IS DUE TO REGULAR, DAILY DRIVING ON ROADS THAT ARE NOT MAINTAINED TO THE HIGHEST QUALITY, SUCH AS THOSE FOUND IN THE MIDWEST, WHICH IS WHERE THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE DAMAGE TO EACH WHEEL (WHEELS ON A ROADFORCE BALANCING MACHINE) I CAN PROVIDE ON REQUEST, AND I'M CERTAIN TH

THE WHEELS ON MY 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT ARE CRACKING. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM DON'T SEEM TO BE INTERESTED IN FIXING THEM. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, NEVER TRACKED AND NEVER DRIVEN HARD. THE WHEELS SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAND UP TO REGULAR DRIVING AS WELL AS THE TRACK SINCE THEY PROMOTED IT AS A TRACK READY CAR. SO FAR THE WHEELS ARE HOLDING AIR BUT FOR HOW LONG I DON'T KNOW. AND HOW SAFE IS IT TO BE DRIVING AROUND ON CRACKED WHEELS? I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH GM AND THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS.

II WENT TO HAVE NEW TIRES INSTALLED AND THE TWO REAR WHEELS WERE CRACKED. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT THE WHEELS WERE BENT AND CRACKED. NOW THE TIRES WILL NOT MAINTAIN AIR PRESSURE. DEALERSHIP SAID THIS WAS NOT COVERED IN BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.

RIGHT REAR TIRE WOULD NOT HOLD AIR TOOK TO SHOP THEY FOUND A 3 INCH CRACK ON INSIDE OF RIM TOOK TO CHEVY BECAUSE ITS A SAFETY ISSUE THEY SAY ITS NOT THERE PROBLEM ON A 2019 CORVETTE IF RIM BREAKS OR SPLITS APART COULD CAUSE DEATH

LEFT REAR RIM AND FRONT RIGHT RIM ARE WEARING OUT TIRES OM THE INSIDE TO WHERE TIRE IS NO GOOD BUT HAS PLENTY OF LIFE OVER 75 PERCENT OF TIRE HAD ALIGNMENT DONE ON CAR GARAGE SAID ALIGNMENT IS NOT OUT SAID ITS GOTTA BE THE RIMS WHERE THERE SO WIDE THEY WARP AND CAUSING WEAR ON INSIDE

STARTED FEELING A HARMONIC VIBRATION AT ABOUT 3000 MILES. REPLACED RIGHT FRONT TIRE DUE TO FOREIGN OBJECT IN TREAD. ASKED THE DEALER TO LOOK INTO THE VIBRATION AND WAS TOLD ALL 4 WHEELS WERE BENT. DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY HAD CONTACTED GM AND THAT IT WAS A NON WARRANTY ITEM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN NORMALLY ON REGULAR ROADS WITHOUT POTHOLES OR HEAVES

3 BENT RIMS ON A CAR THAT IS PLEASURE DRIVEN WITH ONLY 6,555 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VADEN CHEVROLET POOLER LOCATED AT 300 OUTLET PARKWAY, POOLER, GA 31322, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SET OF WHEELS WERE BENT. THE DEALER SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO THE MANUFACTURER HOWEVER, THE WHEELS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE WHEELS WERE NOT REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,597.

TOOK MY NEW 2019 CHEVROLET GRAND SPORT CORVETTE, PURCHASED MAY 27 2020, TO THE DEALER FOR 500 MILE OIL CHANGE. INFORMED DEALER I HAD VIBRATION AT 65 MPH AND UP TO 75 MPH (MAYBE HIGHER). DEALER INFORMED ME THAT ALL 4 WHEELS ARE BENT OUT OF SPEC. DEALER REFERRED TO GM CORPORATE FOR WARRANTY CLAIM. GM DECLINED THE CLAIM. I FOLLOWED THE GM RECOMMENDED BRAKE IN PROCEDURE, DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, NO HARD BRAKING, NO WIDE OPEN THROTTLE, NO BURNOUTS, ETC. THE MAJORITY OF THE 500 MILE WAS ALL INTERSTATE VARYING THE SPEED FROM 55 MPH TO 75 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE FRONT BRAKES FAILED TO RELEASE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE BRAKES BECAME WET FROM THE RAIN. ADDITIONALLY, THE SHIFTER CABLE FRACTURED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO BE SHIFTED INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUBURBAN CHEVROLET OF CLINTON LOCATED AT 1070 WEST US 12, CLINTON, MI 49236, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.

MY A8 TRANSMISSION IN MY 2019 CORVETTE BEGAN TO SHIFT IRREGULARLY AT 6K MILES, 10 MONTHS. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GRINDING ROCKS WITH QUARTERS. IT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO VERIFIED IT'S THE TORQUE CONVERTER WHICH HAS CAUSED 'COLLATERAL DAMAGE'

THE LAP-SHOULDER BELT WILL NOT REMAIN IN THE SEAT BELT GUIDE AS IT SHOULD. THEREFOR THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT FIT OVER THE SHOULDER AND ACROSS THE CHEST OF SMALLER ADULTS OR OLDER CHILDREN AS REQUIRED TO KEEP THEM SAFE IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. THE SEAT BELT COMES OUT OF THE GUIDE WHEN MOVING AND AT TIMES WHEN STATIONARY. THE GAP IN THE GUIDE IS TOO LARGE. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE SO PREVALENT THAT AN AFTER MARKET CLIP IS ON THE MARKET TO HOLD THE SEAT BELT INTO PLACE.

NEW CORVETTE HAD BENT THE RIGHT REAR RIM ON A SMALL BUMP IN PAVEMENT. SPEED WAS 20-25 MPH. RIM AND TIRE BOTH LOOKED VISUALLY FINE UNTIL THE CAR WAS RAISED AND WHEEL TURNED BY HAND REVELING A WOBBLE IN RIM. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO VIBRATE ON THE ROAD. MADE A REPORT WITH GM TO DOCUMENT KNOW ISSUES WITH WEAK RIMS.

I PURCHASED MY CAR AS NEW FROM F.H. DAILEY (1ST TITLE WITH WARRANTY ON "CAPTURED TEST FLEET"). AS I DROVE HOME I REALIZED A LOT OF VIBRATION AND TRACKING ISSUES WITH THE CAR. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK THE CAR TO COSTCO TO AIR UP THE TIRES. ALL PRESSURES WERE DIFFERENT AND FAR OFF THE REQUIRED 30 COLD PSI. I NOTICED THE BALANCING WEIGHTS WERE MISSING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ABEL CHEVROLET TO CHECK THE WHEELS FOR SAFETY, AND IT WAS DISCOVERED ALL (4) WHEELS WERE BENT AND COULD NOT BE TRUE BALANCED. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM REFUSED TO REPLACE THESE WHEELS, WHICH PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE ON A HIGH PERFORMANCE ZR1 CORVETTE. 3339 MILES HAD BEEN PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE, AS EXECUTIVE VALIDATION BUILT,CORVETTE. ABEL CHEVROLET DETERMINED THAT THE CORVETTE WAS LIKELY "TRACKED" , CAUSING THE BENT RIMS/WHEELS, DAMAGED BY THE RAISED APEX(S) OF THE TRACK SURFACE. I ATTACHED THE SERVICE INVOICE WITH TECHNICIAN OBSERVATIONS. IT WAS DEMONSTRATED TO ME, THE IRREGULAR GYRATION OF THE WHEELS ON THE BALANCING MACHINE. ABEL CHEVROLET IS A CORVETTE CENTRIC SERVICE CENTER FOR GM VEHICLES.

WITH 4600 MILES ON THE CAR ON SMOOTH ROADS HERE IN AZ I HAVE 2 BENT FRONT RIMS. I HAVE NOT CHECKED THE REARS YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF HAIRLINE CRACKS TO THE REAR RIMS DUE TO LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY CHEVROLET (716 W SUMMERS DR, ABBEVILLE, LA 70510, (337) 385-9999) TO BE INSPECTED; HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE TIRE FROM THE RIM DUE TO ITS SIZE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A TIRE SERVICE LOCATION THAT HAS THE PROPER TOOLS. THE WHEEL WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ONCE THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2X FLAT TIRES ON THE REAR R WHEEL. DEALER SAYING RIM IS "CRACKED" DUE TO ROAD HAZARDS/DRIVER USE. GM BLAMING "WEAR AND TEAR", GM CURRENTLY IN LAWSUIT FOR FAULTY RIMS THAT "CRACK" WITH EVERYDAY USE. DEALER CHARGING ME FULL PRICE TO FIX WHEEL. MULTIPLE CALLS HAVE BEEN MADE TO GM FOR THIS ISSUE WITHOUT RESOLVE. NEW RIM COST:936$. VEHICLE HAS 10100 MILES, NO TRACK/STREET RACING.

I HAVE A CRACKED RIGHT REAR WHEEL ON MY CAR. IT IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES ON THE INNER RIM. THE WHEEL IS ALSO WARPED. THE WHEEL IS LEAKING AIR FROM MY TIRE, THEREFORE MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT, I HIT A POT HOLE WITH THE RIGHT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR TIRE. AFTER STRIKING THE HOLE AN IMMEDIATE VIBRATION THROUGH OUT THE CAR STARTED. NEXT DAY I RAISE THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS OFF THE FLOOR AND SPUN THE WHEELS WITH A BOARD NEXT TO THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. BOTH WHEELS WHEN TURNING WOBBLE AGAINST THE BOARD INDICATING A BENT RIM. CLAIM # CM-1943186 HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO MY WHEEL INSURANCE POLICY. MANY W

I HAVE A NEW 2019 Z 06 CORVETTE PURCHASED NEW BY MYSELF. I HAVE 2400 MILES ON IT AND NOTICED A VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO HAVE TIRES BALANCED AND WAS TOLD MY RIGHT FRONT AND REAR RIMS WERE BENT AND IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS THEY WILL LIKELY SPLIT IF I KEEP DRIVING ON THEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED! THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY RIMS WITH SAME PROBLEM TO BE JUST TO DRIVERS FAULT FROM HITTING A POTHOLE. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE OWNED THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED 5 OTHER LATE MODEL CORVETTES AND PUT A LOT OF MILES ON THEM WITH NO WHEEL PROBLEMS ON THESE SAME ROADS. I HAVE A 2016 CAMARO WITH FACTORY RIMS AS WELL WITH 15K MILES ON IT AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM EITHER. I HAVE A 2018 XT5 CADILLAC AS WELL WITH NO WHEEL ISSUES. ALL ON SAME ROADS DAILY. IT IS NOT JUST COINCIDENTAL THAT THESE WHEELS ARE FAILING FOR ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS. ARE WE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE HAS A WHEEL FAILURE AND CRASHES AND DIES BEFORE WE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? EVEN LOSING AIR IN THE TIRE AND SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAITING FOR ROAD SERVICE CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR GM NOT TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM NOW BEFORE ANYONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT! PLEASE DO SOMETHING NOW! SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

AFTER 9,000 MILES, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WAS LEAKING AIR. UPON INSPECTION BY COMMUNITY CHEVROLET DEALER IN BURBANK, THE WHEEL WAS CRACKED IN A HANDFUL OF PLACES. THE DEALER CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS NO MISUSE DAMAGE AND SUBMITTED THE REIMBURSEMENT CLAIM TO CHEVROLET HQ. HQ DENIED THE CLAIM TO REPLACE THE FAULTY WHEEL.

CORVETTE, 2019 ZO6: FOUR (4) BENT WHEELS AND ONE (1) BENT/CRACKED WHEEL IN LESS THAN 4000 MILES OF NORMAL DRIVING. THESE ARE ALL CAST ALUMINUM WHEELS THAT ARE TOO SOFT TO WITHSTAND NORMAL ROADS AND NORMAL DRIVING. I AM WORRIED ONE MAKE CRACK AT HIGH SPEED AND CAUSE A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE INNER SECTION OF THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL/RIM WAS CRACKED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. MATICK CHEVROLET (14001 TELEGRAPH RD, REDFORD, MI) WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,800.

WHEELS BENDING AND CRACKING.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 CORVETTE Z06 BACK IN FEBRUARY 2019. AS OF SEPT 07, 2019 I HAD APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH WERE HIGHWAY MILES FROM A ROAD TRIP BETWEEN MI AND THE EAST COAST. I GOT AN UNEXPECTED "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" MESSAGE ON MY IP WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH ROAD. I AIRED UP THE TIRE AND INSPECTED IT FOR A PUNCTURE BUT FOUND NOTHING. USING SOAPY WATER, I DETERMINED I WAS LEAKING AROUND THE INNER SIDE OF THE RIM. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE TO FIND THE ALUMINUM DIE CAST RIM HAD A SIGNIFICANT CRACK IN IT RESULTING IN THE LEAK. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THE CONDITION, WITH PICTURES, TO THEIR WARRANTY OFFICE WHO ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL MEASUREMENTS TO DETERMINE IF THE TIRE WAS OUT OF ROUND WHICH I AM SURE THEY WERE HOPING TO ATTRIBUTE TO SOME SORT OF ABUSE. I UNDERSTAND THE RESULTS TO HAVE BEEN WITHIN GM SPECIFICATION WHICH IS NO SURPRISE AS I DRIVE THIS CAR VERY CAREFULLY AND AVOID ROUGH ROADS. GM HAS SINCE RESPONDED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER THEIR 3YR/36K MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I DID AN ODI SEARCH FOR THIS CONDITION AND THERE ARE SOME100+ COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN AND GM NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THIS AND RECALL THESE RIMS BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED. I AM BESIDE MYSELF THAT GM WOULD TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS THIS WAY, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THESE VEHICLES PRICE OUT NEAR $90,000. I HAVE ORDERED A NEW RIM WHICH I AM INFORMED WILL COST ~$1,100 ONCE INSTALLED. SINCE THE RIM IS BEING REPLACED WI

2 REAR TIRE RIMS HAVE CRACKED. UP THE SIDE AND ACROSS PART OF THE BARREL.. 2 FRONT TIRE RIMS ARE OUT OF ROUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE WASHING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS MISSING A WHEEL WEIGHT. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO BACHMAN CHEVROLET (9650 BLUEGRASS PKWY, LOUISVILLE, KY 40299, (502) 499-6161) WHERE THEY ASSURED HIM THAT THE WHEEL WAS BALANCED; HOWEVER, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE HAD A BENT RIM. UPON RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT A BENT RIM COULD RESULT IN THE RIM CRACKING OVER TIME WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS, WHICH COULD ULTIMATELY LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFUSED TO PURCHASE A NEW RIM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,400. *JB

BENT LEFT FRONT WHEEL. THIS OCCURRED WITH NO OTHER VISIBLE DAMAGE AND I HAVE NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES OR ROAD DEBRIS.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BALANCE TIRES, FOUND FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BENT. UNABLE TO PROPERLY BALANCE IT UNTIL REPAIRED. POSES SAFETY RISK IF THE WHEEL BREAKS OR FURTHER BENDS.

OEM CHROME WHEELS. THREE ARE BENT, CAUSING VIBRATION. NO KNOWN CAUSE, DIDN'T HIT ANY CURB, OBSTACLE, LARGE POTHOLE. DISCOUNT TIRE OBSERVED THE ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO BALANCE THE WHEELS.

MY TIRE ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE HAD A LEAK SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND A CRACK IN THE RIM. WE PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND WAITED FOR THE NEW RIM. THE CAR DID NOT MOVE UNTIL I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. WHEN THEY TOOK THE RIM OFF THEY CHECKED ALL THE OTHER TIRES AND FOUND THE REAR DRIVERS RIM WAS CRACKED IN 4 PLACES AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD AN OTHER CRACK. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT IN THE RIMS. GM WILL NOT COVER THE EXPENSE AND THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. WE HAD PLANNED ON TAKING THE CAR ON VACATION TO YELLOWSTONE. I ASKED THE DEALER WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND HE SAID WE WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT AND I WOULD NOT BE STANDING THERE TALKING TO THEM. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE GARAGE NOT MOVING BECAUSE WE WERE ON VACATION IN YELLOWSTONE.

7/11/19 - TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH APPROXIMATELY 1700 MILES ON A 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT I STARTED TO NOTICE A VIBRATION WHILE TRAVELLING AROUND 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 3000 MILES ON IT AND THE VIBRATION HAS BECOME WORSE SO THAT IT IS NOTICEABLE AT ANY SPEED. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. LOOKING AT THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT SMOOTH ROAD IT IS POSSIBLE TO WATCH THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE. ON A LONG ROAD TRIP THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO STARTED TO CAUSE NUMBNESS IN MY HANDS. 7/15/19 - MY FIRST COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO HAVE THE WHEELS CHECKED FOR BALANCE, SHIFTED OR BROKEN BELT IN THE TIRE. THE TIRE REPAIR FACILITY SAID THE BALANCE AND TIRES LOOKED GOOD. (NO CHARGE) 7/18/19 - NEXT STEP WAS TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED. AFTER A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT THE VIBRATION PERSISTED. (RECEIPT IS CURRENTLY IN VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP) 7/19/19 - NEXT I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT ALL SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS ARE GOOD, BUT ALL 4 WHEELS ARE BENT. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR WHEELS FROM AN OUTSIDE OBJECT SUCH AS A CURB OR ROAD DEBRIS. (DEALERSHIP IS TO BE COMPLETING DOCUMENTATION ON 7/22/19 REGARDING POSSIBLE WARRANTY AND SAFETY CONCERN COMMUNICATION TO GENERAL MOTORS) MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VIBRATION WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE AND CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE WILL BECOME INCRE

AFTER JUST 3,910 MILES THE TIRES WERE WORN PAST THE POINT OF INSPECTION. GM HAS SAID THIS IS NORMAL WEAR, IF NOT FOR THE ANNUAL INSPECTION STICKER I WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN THESE TIRES A SECOND THOUGHT. TIRES WORN OUT IN JUST 3,910 MILES IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND TO THINK THAT 3-4 SETS OF TIRES ANNUALLY FOR SOMEONE WHO WOULD DRIVE THIS TO WORK DAILY IS JUST RIDICULOUS.HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER INSTALL SUCH A TIRE ON A STREET DRIVEN AUTOMOBILE? THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THESE TIRES PREMATURELY WEAR ON THE SALES LITERATURE OR INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALER.

CRACKED RIGHT REAR WHEEL DIAGNOSED AFTER LOSING AIR ON A DAILY BASIS

LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST AT 198, 213, 268, 305, AND 314 MILES. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW ON JUNE 29, 2019 AND NOW HAS 322 MILES ON IT. INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH, ON A HIGHWAY CURVE AT 55 MPH, ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT 25 MPH, AND COMING TO A STOP IN A TURN LANE. DEALER I WENT TO AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE RESET THE CODE (CO47A) AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD RETURN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT. SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS ON GM RECALL N182182760 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 19V086000

CAR SAT STILL FOR THREE DAYS AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE IT, THE COMPUTER TOLD ME THAT MY LEFT REAR TIRE WAS DEFLATED TO ONLY 14 PSI INSTEAD OF 30 PSI. THEY ARE RUN FLAT TIRES, SO YOU CAN'T TELL IF THEY ARE FLAT. TOOK IT TO A CORVETTE MECHANIC AND WHEN HE REMOVED THE WHEEL, HE FOUND A GOOD SIZE CRACK IN THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL AND AIR WAS LEAKING FROM THAT CRACK. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AFTER I FILLED IT BACK TO 30 PSI AND ORDERED A NEW WHEEL. THIS MORNING I CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND THE PSI IS DOWN TO 20 OVERNIGHT. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES OR RACED THE CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL OR TIRE.

2 CORVETTE Z06 WHEELS ARE BENT AFTER ONLY 2200 MILES OF DRIVING. 11 WEEKS OLD.

I FELT VIBRATION IN MY WHEELS AND HEN I TAKEN 3 OF MY RIMS WERE BENT I SWITCH THEM AND PAID OVER 2K 3 WEEKS AFTER MY RIMS ARE BENT AGAIN ON MY 2019 Z06 CORVETTE I THINK THIS SHOULD BE SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD RECALL THIS RIMS AND REPLACE THEM WITH OTHER STRONGER RIMS I ONLY HAVE 2900 MILES ON THE CAR

BENT REAR WHEEL ON MY 2019 GS CORVETTE, VEHICLE BEGINS VIBRATING, SHAKING AT 25 MPH UNABLE TO DRIVE , DEALER FOUND BENT DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE SEVERELY BENT WHEN , ONLY 3200 MILES ON VEHICLE. DEALER IS REPLACING WHEEL, AND ALSO( AT MY URGING) TIRE AT PRESENT. PROBLEM IS THE RIMS ARE SCARCE AND MAY TAKE DAYS TO FIND REPLACEMENT. MEANWHILE, UNABLE TO DRIVE $75000.00 CAR! I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE CAST ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE WIDESPREAD.

SECOND TIME IN 3 MONTHS THAT THE RIMS HAVE BENT WHILE DRIVING. I HAD A 2017 CHEVY CORVETTE WHICH WAS REPURCHASED DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME CAR HAD 600 MILES AND 2 RIMS BENT WHEN ENCOUNTERING A POTHOLE. THIS TIME, CAR NOT REPAIRED YET, HAS 1100 MILES AND ANOTHER RIM BENT DRIVING. THE SLIGHTEST IMPERFECTION IN THE ROADWAY CAUSES THESE RIMS TO BEND. I BELIEVE THESE RIMS ARE BEING MANUFACTURED POORLY. BOTH TIMES I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY.

BENT WHEEL DISCOVERED WHEN TIRES WERE SWITCHED AT 144 MILES. BENT WHEEL NOTED ON RECEIPT FOR NEW TIRES. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE BENT WHEEL. SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER NEW CAR WARRANTY. BENT WHEELS CAN RESULT IN CRACKED WHEELS WITH ADDITIONAL DRIVING. HAVE VIDEOS OF BENT WHEEL ON BALANCER.

DEVELOPED SLOW LEAK ON FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. LATER DIAGNOSED AT DEALER AS CRACKED WHEEL. I BELONG TO CORVETTE FORUM AND MANY MEMBERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED

CRACKED LEFT REAR WHEEL RIM INNER EDGE REQUIRING WHEEL REPLACEMENT

CRACKED RIGHT REAR WHEEL

THIS CAR HAS 3K ON IT AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR A SLIGHT VIBRATION ONLY TO BE TOLD NOT ONE BUT (4) WHEEL WERE BENT. THIS IS MY 5TH CORVETTE, NEVER HAD AN EPISODE SO VIOLENT AS TO BEND (4) WHEELS AND I DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY

I EXPERIENCED THREE CRACKS IN MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL AFTER OWNING THE CAR 6 MONTHS AND NOT HITTING ANY POT HOLES. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRE AT ALL.

UNLIKE MY REAR-LEFT WHEEL (SEE COMPLAINT #11192823) WHICH HAS FOUR CRACKS AND LOSES ABOUT 24 PSI PER DAY, MY RIGHT-REAR WHEEL ISN'T LOSING ANY AIR (YET). HOWEVER I PULLED THE IT OFF TONIGHT AND DISCOVERED TWO CRACKS DEVELOPING ON IT AS WELL. AGAIN, AS IN THE LEFT-REAR WHEEL, THERE ARE NO BUMPS OR BRUISES ON THE RIM AT THE POINTS OF FAILURE.

VEHICLE MAKES A BUMPING , GRINDING METALIC NOISE WHEN TURNING SLOWLY IN EITHER DIRECTION. OR IN REVERSE. IT HAS BEEN SEEN BY TWO DEALERS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LAST TIME I WAS GIVEN A BULLETIN (#14-03-10-001D) 3-2-17, FROM CHEVROLET STATING THAT THIS WAS TYPICAL OF MANY CORVETTES DUE TO "ACKERMANN EFFECT" CAUSING TIRE CHATTER WHEN TURNING SLOWLY AT A TIGHT ANGLE. MY VEHICLE DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL APPROX.1,000 MILES AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND IT NOW HAS OVER 4,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR IN A DRIVING RAIN WITH SLICK PAVEMENT, AND THE NOISE IS EVEN LOUDER, SO THAT IF TIRE CHATTER WERE THE PROBLEM, I WOULD THINK THAT THE NOISE WOULD GO AWAY, OR AT LEAST LESSEN SOMEWHAT. IT DID NOT. IT IS MY OPINION THAT AT SOME POINT, THIS CAR'S FRONT SUSPENSION WILL BREAK, POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
