I drive my corvette about 3000 miles per year, no highway, never in the rain. I took my GS in for new tires and was informed the driver side rear wheel was cracked and leaking air. I have never hit a bump, drove it on a track, drove on deflated tires etc. Makes no sense the rim would be cracked.

Potential Consequences:
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER OF 2017. AROUND DECEMBER 2019, MY LEFT REAR WHEEL STARTED TO LOSE AIR. I ASSUMED THAT THE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A TIRE SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, A HAIR-LINE CRACK WAS DISCOVERED IN THE WHEEL. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF AN IMPACT, OR DAMAGE ON THE SURFACE OF THE WHEEL, ON THE INSIDE THE WHEEL OR EVEN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL AND THEY ARE NOT BENT OR SCRATCHED ANYWHERE ON THE RIM. MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND GENERAL MOTORS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE WHEEL ON MY VEHICLE. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS MYSELF AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND TO APPEAL THEIR DECISION NOT TO REPLACE MY WHEEL. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS, GENERAL MOTORS STILL REFUSED TO REPLACE THE WHEEL ON MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND TWO ADDITIONAL WHEELS NOW HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, ONE WILL NO LONGER HOLD ANY AIR. I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL MY RIMS ARE REPLACED. I ORDERED A NEW SET FOR $3K AT MY EXPENSE. PLEASE NOTE, THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR IS THERE ANY DAMAGE ON THE SURFACE OF THE WHEEL. THERE MUST BE A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT...I KEEP THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE, IT'S PAMPERED AND GETS DRIVEN LESS THAN 7K MILES PER YEAR IN SUNNY FLORIDA WHERE THERE ARE NO POT HOLES OR TERRIBLE ROAD CONDITIONS; EVERYTHING IS FLAT AND SMOOTH. I BECAME AWARE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE WHILE READING THE CORVETTE FORUM FOR THESE RIMS. THERE IS POTENTIALLY A HORRIBLE RISK TO SOMEONES LIFE IS THIS ISSUE ISN'T CORRECTED FOR SOME UNKNOWING VICTIM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE WITH THESE RIMS AND FORCE GM TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECAL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIER VEHICLE THAT ARE UNAWARE OF THIS DEADLY SAFETY HAZARD. PLEASE HELP CORVETTE OWNERS DRIVING SAFETY, EVEN IF GM REFUSES TO DO SO!

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
March of 2019: I had unexpected flat tires, one front and one rear. There was no warning nor reason to suspect any damage. Took the car to the shop and had cracked wheels. As most Corvette owners, I pamper this car and would know/remember hitting anything. I replaced the wheels at my expense after getting no help from the Chevrolet dealer. The attached photo shows there was no impact- just a big crack. December 2021: I have one unexpected rear flat tire. Found another crack. Unexpected flat tires without warning is an obvious safety concern for me and anyone around me as I drive. After looking on the internet, there are 100's of complaints about this and multiple class-action lawsuits. This should be forced to be a recall and the government should step in. I am surprised that this has reached this point, as a risk analysis engineer. The field complaints have reached a point where the occurrence rate and the severity of the failure should flag action. Earlier in my career, I designed and tested wheels as a tier 1 supplier to GM. I know how GM Tire and Wheel operate. There are specs for impact and fatigue testing and I bet the poor design is very well understood. I hope you can help.

Potential Consequences:
This is a common problem with the OEM wheels bent that precludes proper and unsafe use. Tire inflation and balance along with vibrations are a major safety concern. I would like GM to do a recall on these wheels and help the owners for replacements with a forged aluminum wheel as opposed to the engineering mistakes made using a cast alluminum wheel.

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
Add me to the long list of people that have cracked aluminum corvette wheels. I purchased used Aug 11, 2021 without defects being known. After getting a repair on a slow leak puncture by removing the wheel/tire and taking to shop, I was told I have 3 cracks in the inside flange of the 20 inch rear wheel. Upon returning home, I examined the other 3 wheels. The other 20 inch rear also has 3 cracks. Come on NHTSA, dont let GM give you the bull on this about it being potholes. Get a metallurgist on the case and go after both GM and the wheel mfr. Date below was when I learned of the condition.
