WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW APRIL 2017 LAST YEAR THE REAR WHEELS WERE LEAKING AIR AND UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THE INNER RIM WAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENING TO PASSENGER SIDE REAR. WITHIN 6 MONTHS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE REAR RIM THIS HAD ONE CRACK UPON INSPECTION AND TAKING IT TO DEALER WHO WOULD SAY THAT IT'S DRIVER DRIVING HABITS AND ROAD CONDITIONS THAT IS THE CAUSE. DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT THE DEALER SERVICE AGENTS SAID THAT IT IS COMMON AND THEY GET A LOT OF THEM. THE ISSUE IS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE REPORTING IT OR KNOW THE PROCESS TO REPORT IT SO THE MANUFACTURER (GM) CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE PHOTOS OF THE WHEEL WITH THE 7 CRACKS AND SEND IT TO GM CORPORATE DID I GET ASSISTANCE FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE WHEELS. MY CONCERN NOW IS THE WHEELS THAT ARE ON IT NOW. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I FEAR HAS DEFECTIVE UNSAFE WHEELS THAT CAN POSSIBLY CRACK AND FALL APART LIKE GLASS. I AM ATTACHING PHOTOS THAT SHOW THE WHEEL WITH THE SEVERAL CRACKS. CONFIRMATION OF ACTUAL DATES CAN BE OBTAINED UPON REQUEST.

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
WITH APPROXIMATELY 9500 MILES ON OUR 2017 CORVETTE, WE PURCHASED NEW TIRES IN ANTICIPATION OF A LONG ROAD TRIP THIS SUMMER. WHEN THE CAR WAS PICKED UP FROM DISCOUNT TIRE, WE WERE TOLD THAT AT LEAST TWO BENT WHEELS. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER, WHO TOLD US THAT THE BENT WHEELS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE 3-YEAR 36,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THE WHEEL REPAIR FACILITY INFORMED US THAT 3 WHEELS WERE SEVERELY BENT AND ONE WAS SLIGHTLY BENT. WE PAID $400 FOR THE REPAIR TO ALL FOUR, AS WE CONSIDER IT A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER THIS, WE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, SOME ON CARS WITH UNDER 500 MILES. OTHERS REPORTED THAT THEY WERE TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL BECAUSE GM IS NOT HEARING ABOUT THE ISSUE REPEATEDLY. A FEDERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS NOW BEEN FILED IN CALIFORNIA OVER THIS PROBLEM. OUR INVOICE FOR REPAIR IS ATTACHED.

Potential Consequences:
PISSED OFF!, ... MY GRAND SPORT IS 1 YEAR OLD THIS WEEK, AND IT'S BEEN BABIED THE ENTIRE TIME WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVING OVER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS. 8,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, YET MY DRIVER'S REAR TIRE HAS BEEN LEAKING AIR SLOWLY SINCE ABOUT 4,000 MILES. THIS CERTAINLY HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING OVER NORMAL FREEWAYS AND STREETS. IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS THE LEAK HAS BECOME SO BAD IT'S BEEN FLAT (11 PSI) TWICE THE NEXT DAY AFTER HAVING BEEN PROPERLY FILLED THE DAY BEFORE! (I'VE ALWAYS CARRIED A PORTABLE TIRE INFLATOR IN HE TRUNK). THIS IS SOOO OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM WITH THESE CAST ALUMINUM 12" WIDE WHEELS ON THE Z06 AND GRAND SPORT MODELS. GM SHOULD BE EXPOSED FOR DENYING ANYONE'S CLAIM WHEN ONE OF THESE ARE BENT OR CRACKED WITHIN THE WARRANTEE PERIOD. WHAT MAKES ME EVEN ANGRIER IS THAT MUCH OF THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE AVOIDED IF CHEVROLET WOULD MAKE THE "MAG RIDE UPDATE" AVAILABLE FOR FREE, INSTEAD OF THE $350 THEY CHARGE!!!" ... MANY WHO HAVE PAID FOR THIS RIDICULOUS CHARGE, (SHOULD BE FREE) ... HAVE SAID IT MAKES THE SUSPENSION AND RIDE, SOFTER AND FAR MORE COMPLIANT WHILE IMPROVING THE THE CORNERING AND HANDLING. I BELIEVE THIS WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD RELIEVING THE STRESSES THESE WHEELS ARE FAILING UNDER! I WISH WE WOULD ORGANIZE AND FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST GM FOR THESE WHEEL FAILURES! NOW I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE AGGRAVATION, TIME LOSS OF VEHICLE USAGE AND PROBABLY STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A WHEEL REPAIR THAT ITSELF WILL LIKELY CRACK AGAIN, (SAFETY CONCERN)... OR BUY A WHOLE NEW SET OF AFTERMARKET WHEELS !!! I AM HERE, CONTACTING NHTSA TO FILE MY COMPLAINT!

Potential Consequences:
MY CORVETTE GRAND SPORT WITH 4900 MILES HAS EXPERIENCED THREE BENT OR OUT OF ROUND WHEELS. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THIS DURING ALIGNMENT PROCESS. I AM STILL WORKING WITH THEM TO FIND A FINANCIAL SOLUTION. BUT I HAVE COME TO LEARN FROM FORUMS AND FROM TALKING WITH OTHER OWNERS THIS IS A COMMON AND PERHAPS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WHEELS CAN EVENTUALLY CRACK AND TIRES CAN LEAK.

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
RIGHT REAR WHEEL CRACKED, NOT DUE TO HITTING ANYTHING I.E. CURB, POT HOLE ETC. NORMAL DRIVING AND TPMS SENSOR ACTIVATED INDICATING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. UPON CAREFUL INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THE WHEEL DEVELOPED A CRACK. VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST OWNERS OF LATE MODEL CORVETTE GRAND SPORTS. I'VE READ OF SCORES OF CORVETTE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME OWNERS EXPERIENCING CRACKED OR BENT WHEELS MANY TIMES ON THE SAME CAR EVEN AFTER SEVERAL REPLACEMENTS. ON THE CORVETTE FORUM SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD CRACKED WHEELS ON BRAND NEW CARS WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES OR NEW CARS ONLY WEEKS OR MONTHS OLD IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES GM IS REFUSING TO COVER THE WHEELS UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE CARS ARE TECHNICALLY BRAND NEW AND STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. I'VE SPOKEN TO THE HEAD CORVETTE ENGINEER WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN OF THE CAR ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HIS REPLY IS THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE YET THEY WON'T WARRANTY OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE WHEELS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I'M AFRAID THE SAME PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN TO MY OTHER WHEELS. I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE THE WHEEL OUT OF MY OWN POCKET ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

Potential Consequences:
2 BENT WHEELS UNDER (BETTER THAN) NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT. GARAGE KEPT/COVERED. PRISTINE 2-YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 7000 MILES. SERVICE DEPT ALERTED ME TO THE BENDS DURING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND WHILE INVESTIGATING A PULSING PROBLEM IN THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. THE VEHICLE IS HARDLY EVER DRIVEN, HAS NEVER SEEN ROUGH ROADS/CITY STREETS/BAD WEATHER/ETC. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN "TRACKED" OR OTHERWISE ABUSED. THIS IS A "SUMMER ONLY," WEEKEND VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SCUFFS/SCRAPES/BENDS/BULGES OR OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR WHEELS. NEVER HIT ANY POTHOLE/ROAD HAZARD/DEBRIS, *EVER.* BASED ON RECENT ONLINE RESEARCH AND INFORMATION FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER, I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT THESE WHEELS WILL TOTALLY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DEFORM WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AFTER OPENING A CASE (9-5012193448) AND OVER AN HOUR ON THE PHONE, GM HAS DENIED A WARRANTY CLAIM AND WILL NOT FURTHER DISCUSS/ESCALATE THIS ISSUE. GM WOULD NOT PROVIDE A DESCRIPTION OR COPY OF THE METHOD USED TO DETERMINE "DEFECT VS.DAMAGE", OR A WRITTEN COPY OF THE EVALUATION MADE BY THE REGIONAL WARRANTY REP. GM REFUSES TO DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM, WILL NOT REPLACE/REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE WHEELS, AND WILL NOT PAY FOR A SUITABLE/COMPARABLE 3RD PARTY REPLACEMENT.
