WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
I purchased this 2019 corvette grand sport on 3/6/2023. After I had driven it a little over 300 miles the tire statred to lose air (got a low air pressure warning). Filled it with air and got another warning again. Took the wheel off the car and inspected tire and rim. Found a weld repair had been done with another crack in the rim that look like someone tried to repair that crack. No I'm stuck without a car to drive.

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
I have 32,800 miles on my 2019 Corvette Grand Sport. Each year during my annual service, I have had to have wheels repaired that were bent. Today, during my regular service, both of my rear wheels were identified as cracked and must be replaced. Cracked wheels on the 2017 to 2019 Corvette Grand Sport and Z06 models is a significant safety issue and needs to be addressed by your organization. GM should be forced to replaced all of these poorly engineered wheels before someone is killed or injured in an accident when the wheels fail.

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
My corvette developed a cracked wheel. We took it to the Dealership that put new tires on a week ago because the low air alarm came on. They informed me the wheel was cracked and denied damaging it when putting on the new tires. “It just happens” was their claim. Now we learn there is a class action lawsuit because so many generation C7 Corvettes are suffering unexplainable wheel failures. GM is denying warranty claims and it’s costing the car owners thousands of dollars to replace wheels. The wheel I need is going to be $1200 and will likely be yet another OEM wheel prone to the same problem. Should this not be something in your agencies purview to investigate?

WHEELS
Potential Consequences:
My factory wheel cracked in two places while traveling to the Corvettes at Carlisle event. I have a little over 18000 miles on my car at this point. I have taken great care of my car and have not hit and rough potholes or obstacles in the road. I have not “tracked” my car either. I have read about many other Corvette Z06 and Grand Sport owners who have suffered the same cracked and bent rim issues with the stock GM supplied wheels. Apparently the wheels are faulty as reported by hundreds of dissatisfied owners. The cracked wheels fail to hold air pressure causing a safety situation while driving at highway speeds. I understand that there is a current class action lawsuit in progress. I feel that GM should stand by their product and replace these inferior wheels with safer, more sturdy ones..especially for the price we paid for the vehicle. At this point, the consumers need the NHTSA to help us with this situation as GM has refused to accept any responsibility at this point. They blame the consumer’s driving habits as a reason for the issue….not the obvious faulting manufacturing of the wheel. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to hearing your response. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the RPM decreased to 1,200 and the vehicle started to shudder and shake. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle to the residence. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer to be inspected. The dealer performed a transmission flush to fix the failure however, the failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer who inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the vehicle with 3 bent wheels. The wheels were not replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,399. Per the dealership, the bent wheels are not covered under warranty and the problem is the result of normal wear-and-tear. However, I found numerous complaints on the internet stating GM made the wheels with inferior material that is "cast, rather than forged, and is of insufficient strength to withstand the torque and power input from the drivetrain," I am now scared to drive the car because the bent wheels or a safety hazard and will more than likely start to crack which could result in causing a wreck. At this time the only way to correct the failure is to purchase new wheels if I wish to continue to drive the car and prevent from being a safety hazard or causing a collision.
Corrective Action:
