WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
DRIVING DOWN A STREET IN AIKEN SC (YORK ST) I RAN ACROSS A MANHOLE THAT WAS BELOW STREET GRADE. IMMEDIATELY UPON SPEEDING UP, NOTICED VIBRATION. TOOK THE CAR TO LOCAL TIRE DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZES IN CORVETTE TIRES AND THEY VERIFIED THAT BOTH WHEELS ON THE LEFT SIDE WERE BENT. THEY WERE BOTH BENT ON THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL AWAY FROM THE SPOKES. I WAS GOING LESS THAN 25 MPH WHEN I RAN OVER THE RECESSED MANHOLE. GM DOES NOT RECOMMEND REPAIRING THESES WHEELS SINCE ACCORDING TO THEM WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL IF REPAIRED. THAT MEANS I HAVE TO BUY TWO NEW WHEELS FOR OVER $1800 OUT OF POCKET.

2017-2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT HAS A HIGH NUMBER OF REPORT INSTANCES OF RIMS CRACKING AND BENDING THAT FORUM MEMBERS FEEL IS NOT NORMAL, NOT DUE TO HITTING POTHOLES OR ANYTHING. I HAD NEVER HIT ANY POTHOLES OR ANYTHING HARD, AND WHILE HAVING MY TIRES CHANGED, THE SHOP SHOWS ME A CRACK IN THE RIM. ON THE BLOG SITE "CORVETTE FORUM", THERE'S NUMEROUS PEOPLE AND PICTURES OF PEOPLE SHOWING THEIR CRACKED OR BENT RIMS. GM IS TELLING PEOPLE THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT DEALING WITH IT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED MULTIPLE TIRES BENT OR CRACKED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. I'M SURE GM DOES NOT HAVE ACCURATE DATA, PEOPLE MOST PEOPLE REPORT THE DEALER TURNS THEIR CLAIM AWAY AS NOT BEING COVERED, SO IT'S NOT GETTING FULLY REPORTED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM ONLY WITH THE GRAND SPORT MODEL.

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
AFTER DRIVING THE CAR THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING CAME ON AND WE STARTED NOTICING THE TIRE PRESSURE LEAKING ON THE RIGHT REAR OF MY WIFE GRAND SPORT CORVETTE, THE WHEEL WAS TAKEN OFF TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF LEAK. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK ALONE THE BEAD RING AREA OF THE INSIDE DRUM AREA OF THE WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY AND DIDN'T OFFER REPAIRS. THE WHEEL WAS TAKEN TO A REPUTABLE WHEEL REPAIR SHOP WITH A GUARANTEE ON THE REPAIR. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILE THE SAME WHEEL STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN. AFTER REMOVING THE WHEEL THERE WAS ANOTHER CRACK APPROXIMATELY 180 DEGREES FROM THE REPAIRED CRACK. AFTER REFUSING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH A CRACKED WHEEL, IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE CAR AND TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO CALLED THE GM PRIORITY CARE AT 866-636-2273. GM PRIORITY CARE GAVE ME THE CASE NUMBER 8-4778215369 . THE DEALERSHIP STILL REFUSED TO COVER THE WHEEL UNDER WARRANTY BUT OFFERED TO SELL ME ANOTHER WHEEL FOR $250. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 19000MILES AND IS MY WIFE'S DAILY DRIVER FOR WORK. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED OR INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. IT HAS BEEN PAINTED DUE TO SCRATCHES FROM TORNADO WIND DAMAGE. I TOOK PICTURES BEFORE THE REPAIR WAS MADE AND ADDITIONAL PICTURE OF THE SECOND CRACK IN THE SAME WHEEL. IN MY OPINION THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE WHEEL WHEN THE FIRST CRACK OCCURRED. NOW I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF THE GRAND SPORT WHEELS AND WILL REFUSE THEIR OFFER OF GETTING A WHEEL FOR $250. AFTER CHECKING WITH AN AFTERMARKET WHEEL COMPANY FOR REPLACEMENT WHEELS, THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT GM IS AWARE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE GRAND SPORT WHEEL AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL I GET A REPLACEMENT WHEEL. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE FIRST AND SECOND CRACK IN THE WHEEL.

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
GM IS PUTTING DEFECTIVE WHEELS ON GRAND SPORT AND Z06 CORVETTES. THESE WHEELS WILL NOT WITHSTAND NORMAL DRIVING ON ANY HIGHWAY. THE ISSUE IS THAT THESE WHEELS BEND ON IMPACT, BE IT EXPANSION JOINTS ALONG BRIDGES OR SMALL IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROADWAY THAT OTHER CARS HANDLE EVERY DAY. THE ISSUE IS THAT GM SAYS THESE ARE ROAD HAZARDS AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. THE WHEELS WERE NOT ENGINEERED TO TAKE NORMAL DRIVING ON ROADS ANYWHERE. THIS STARTED IN JUNE AFTER A TRIP I TOOK AND THE CAR PICKED UP A VIBRATION. TOOK IT TO S DEALER AND HE SAID THE WHEELS WERE BENT AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD SELL ME NEW ONES 2 FRONT WHEELS FOR ABOUT $1800. I THEN TOOK THE CAR HOME AND TOOK THE FRONT WHEELS OFF AND HAD THEM STRAIGHTENED AT A COST OF $110 EACH. I THOUGHT THAT TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM SO WE DROVE THE CAR ON ANOTHER TRIP TO NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA. WE WERE ON A TRIP AND LOST AIR IN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE ( PICTURE BELOW ) IT HAD WORN ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH ALL THE BELTS DUE TO THE WHEELS BEING BENT AGAIN. SEE ALL 3 PICTURES. THESE WHEELS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THESE CARS TO USE ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS AS THEY DEVELOP CRACKS AND CAUSE SEVERE TIRE WEAR IN SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. I HAD ANOTHER SET OF BRAND NEW WHEELS AT HOME. I HAD TO COME BACK HOME AND GET THEM AND TAKE THEM BACK TO CANADA TO GET MY CAR HOME. ON THE 1700 MILE TRIP BACK THE CAR DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AND WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO MY TIRE DEALER HE SAID THAT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS BENT. THE BIG ISSUE IS GM DOES NOT TRACK THESE ISSUES IF YOU DO NOT BUY THE NEW WHEELS FROM THEM AND IT GOES UNREPORTED. A FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON HIS 2019 NEEDS TO BUY 4 WHEELS AND 4 TIRES AND THE DEALER EVEN TOLD US THERE WERE 2 PEOPLE THE WEEK BEFORE THAT HAD BENT RIMS ON I-71.
