2017 Chevrolet Corvette Complaint Log

RIGHT, REAR WHEEL FAILED AT APPROX 9,000 MILES. TWO CRACKS ON INTERIOR SIDE APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES LONG. THIS WAS NOTICED BECAUSE OF A SLOW LEAK. GM REFUSES TO COVER UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER OR OTHER WARRANTY. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OR EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE TIRE.

CRACKED RIM ON 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT

ALL 4 OEM FACTORY WHEELS ARE BENT. ADDITIONALLY, IN 2018 ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS WAS BENT. IT ULTIMATELY CRACKED AND WOULD NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN "TRACKED" OR DRIVEN ON ROADS OR STREETS WITH LARGE POTHOLES.

BOTH REAR WHEELS HAVE CRACKED!!! GM REFUSED TO COVER VIA THEIR "BUMPER-TO-BUMPER" WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE 2017 CORVETTES THAT HAVE SUFFERED THIS SERIOUS, DANGEROUS PROBLEM! THESE WHEELS (MADE IN CHINA????) NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY GM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! NOTE THIS IS THE 2ND WHEEL PROBLEM WITH THESE WHEELS. THE OTHER REAR WHEEL CRACKED BACK ON 6/1/2019.

BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALER FOR A RECALL. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, I WAS TOLD, AND THE INVOICE EVIDENCES IT, THAT I HAD THREE BENT WHEELS AND ONE CRACKED WHEEL. I DRIVE PRIMARILY ON HIGHWAY ROADS AND DON'T RECALL HITTING ANY POTHOLES. I DON'T TRACK THE CAR. THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TIRES ARE STILL ON THE CAR (TIRE LIFE IS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND 10,000 MILES) AND CURRENTLY HAVE 13,000 MILES ON THEM. THERE IS STILL DECENT TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES WHICH PROVES THAT THERE IS NO AGGRESSIVE DRIVING. I'VE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FROM MY DEALER. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE CORVETTE C7 FORUM ABOUT THE 2016 Z06 AND 2017-19 Z06 AND GRAND SPORT WHEELS HAVING BENT AND CRACKED WHEELS, MANY WITH LESS THAN 1,000 MILES ON THE CAR. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE IN SPITE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE COMPANY.

I TRIED TO CONTACT THE CHEVROLET DEALER TWICE, BUT THEY DIDN'T RESPOND TO MY REQUEST. WHEN I CALLED 1800 NUMBER, IT KEPT GETTING DISCONNECT

ON JULY 24, 2019 I STARTED MY 2017 C-7 GRAND SPORT CORVETTE AND NOTICED A RIGHT REAR TIRE LOW PRESSURE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND DECIDED TO LEAVE IT IN THE GARAGE AND USE ONE OF MY OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO SERVICE THE TIRE AT THAT TIME. THE CAR HAS REMAINED PARKED DUE TO VACATION AND WORK SINCE THEN. TODAY, AUGUST 23, 2019 I CHECKED THE TIRE AND IT HAD ZERO PRESSURE. I REMOVED THE WHEEL AND NOTICED TWO CRACKS ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE WHEEL. I SPRAYED SOME SOAPY WATER AND VERIFIED THAT THE WHEEL IS LEAKING AIR FROM ONE OF THE CRACKS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE HOW TO GO ABOUT CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS AND NOTICED MULTIPLE ONLINE COMPLAINTS TO INCLUDE A CHEVROLET CORVETTE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BY PLAINTIFF FILED ON 04/30/19 WHICH CLAIMS WHEELS EASILY BEND AND CRACK. I WILL CALL A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO INQUIRE ABOUT REPLACEMENT BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK PROMISING BASED ON EVERYTHING I'VE READ ON LINE. MY VEHICLE HAS 10,264 MILES AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2017 CORVETTE GRANDSPORT CONVERTIBLE. WITH UNDER 6,000 MILES, I NOTICED A WHIRRING SOUND FROM THE FRONT WHEELS IN JULY 2019. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO THE ROAD. THEN I NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK THE FRONT WHEELS OFF THE CAR AND TOOK THEM TO GOODYEAR TO CHECK THE BALANCE. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THE FRONT WHEELS WERE BENT, EVEN THOUGH THEY LOOKED PRISTINE. I THEN TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER TO GET THE WHEELS WARRANTIED. THEY DETERMINED ALL 4 WHEELS WERE OUT OF TOLERANCE FOR RUN OUT. MY SERVICE ORDER STATED THE 0.03' WAS THE SPECIFICATION. MY WORST WHEEL MEASURE 0.075' AND BEST WAS 0.035'. THE REAR WHEELS WERE BETWEEN THE HIGH AND LOW VALUES. THE SERVICE ORDER STATED THAT THE WHEELS NEEDED REPLACED TO CORRECT THE VIBRATION. I WORKED WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST 2019. THEY INITIALLY TOLD ME THAT MY WHEELS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I REFUSED REPAIR. THE WHOLE POINT OF OF GOING TO THE DEALER WAS TO FIX MY WHEELS. THEN THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DEALER DENIED MY WARRANTY. I ASKED FOR TRANSCRIPTS OF MY CONVERSATION S WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID NO. IT TOOK A MONTH TO GET WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION THAT MY WARRANTY WAS DENIED AFTER NUMEROUS REQUESTS. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AS BAD AS THEIR WHEELS. THEY TOLD ME REPLACEMENT WHEELS WERE UNAVAILABLE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE. I CALLED MY DEALER 3 TIMES BETWEEN 8/12/19 AND 9/16/19 TO CHECK WHEEL AVAILABILITY FOR MY CAR. EACH TIME THE DEALER STATED THEY'RE NOT AVAILABLE AND THERE IS NO ETA. I STORE MY CAR IN THE WINTER. I CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE ROADS IN MY AREA. THE WORST ROADS HAVE PATCHED POTHOLES. I HAVE HIT NOTHING THAT WOULD EVEN CAUSE ME TO RAISE AN EYEBROW. SEE MY THREAD ON CORVETTEFORUM.COM UNDER C7 GENERAL DISCUSSION SECTION. THREAD TITLE IS GM DOES NOT HONOR WARRANTY.

MY 2017 ZO6 HAS APPROXIMATELY TEN THOUSAND MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST YEAR I'VE HAD MY TIRES BALANCED MANY TIMES TO TRY TO FIX A VIBRATION. I TOOK IT TO A WHEEL SPECIALIST ONLY TO FIND ALL FOUR OF MY RIMS ARE NOT ROUND, THEY ARE ALL BENT. MY 3 YEAR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND GM WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD AROUND 14K MILES ON IT MY REAR TIRES WE WORN BAD.SO I REPLACED BOTH REARS.THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO COME LOOK AT THE 2 BENT RIMS I HAVE.I ASKED IF HE COULD BALANCE THEM.HE DID THE BEST HE COULD.I HAVE A BAD VIBRATION WHEN PASSING AT H WAY SPEED AND AFTER A NEW ALIGNMENT THE CAR WONDERS ALOT.COST OF 2 NEW RIMS AND BEING UNAVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT HAS PUT SAFTEY IN THE BACKSEAT. I AM VERY CAREFUL DRIVING TO AVOID POT HOLES AND PAVEMENT IMPERFECTIONS.REPORTS OF THESE RIMS CRACKING.HOPEFULLY NO ONE GETS KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.GM WILL NOT HONOR ANY REPLACEMENTS EVEN IF YOU HAD 100 MILES ON VEHICLE.VERY POOR DESIGN TO PASS FOR USA STANDARDS RIMS ARE POORLY DESIGNED AND DEEMED UNSAFE. I BET MY FRONTS ARE BENT TOO? WHEN MY TIRES NEED REPLACING THEY WILL BE CHECKED

TOOK CAR TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER WITH A VIBRATION - 7/16/2019 - RECEIVED A CALL BACK THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS ARE BENT, CAR HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN BABIED IT'S WHOLE LIFE. THEY QUOTED COST TO REPLACE, SAID THE FACTORY WHEELS ARE NOT COVERED.

CRACK IN BOTH REAR WHEELS DUE TO VEHICLE VIBRATION.

A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO A TIRE COMPANY FOUND A CRACK IN ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS OF MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT. THE CRACK WAS PERPENDICULAR ACROSS THE INSIDE RIM OF THE WHEEL WHERE THE TIRE BEAD MEETS THE WHEEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER WHO EXAMINED THE WHEELS AND FOUND ANOTHER IDENTICAL CRACK IN THE OTHER REAR WHEEL. OTHER THAN THE CRACKS, THE WHEELS WERE UNMARRED. WHILE CLEANING MY WHEELS, I NOTICED ANOTHER IDENTICAL CRACK IN THE IDENTICAL LOCATION ON ONE OF MY REPLACED REAR WHEELS. THE WHEEL WAS OTHERWISE UNMARRED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVROLET DEALER, WHO TOOK PHOTOS AND SENT THEM TO GM FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT APPROVAL. GM DECLINED TO COVER THE WHEEL UNDER WARRANTY. I APPEALED THE DENIAL WHICH WAS GIVEN GM CASE [XXX]. THE APPEAL WAS DENIED. I ASKED THAT IT BE ESCALATED AND THAT ESCALATED APPEAL WAS DENIED. GM STATED THAT AFTER EXAMINING THE PHOTOS, THEY DETERMINED THE CRACK WAS NOT A RESULT OF DEFECTS IN MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP. THESE CRACKED WHEELS CONSTITUTE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, PARTICULARLY SINCE THEY ARE IN AN AREA THAT MOST CONSUMERS WOULD NOT INSPECT. I BELIEVE THE CRACKS ARE A RESULT OF POOR DESIGN, SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS, POOR WORKMANSHIP OR A COMBINATION THEREOF.

BENT RIM 2017 CORVETTE GS

THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MONITOR FOR THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE WHEEL HAD A CRACK IN IT; WOULD NEED A NEW WHEEL. WAS TOLD WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH FOR THE PART TO COME IN; IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING, COULD NOT WAIT A MONTH. FOUND A RIM REPAIR SHOP THAT REPAIRED THE CRACK AND ALSO NOTED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WAS BENT. THE REPAIR SHOP FIXED BOTH PROBLEMS OR SO I THOUGHT. WAS TRAVELING TO MY NEW WORK DESTINATION AND THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE SENSOR LIGHT CAME BACK ON. FOUND ANOTHER RIM REPAIR SHOP WHO TOLD ME THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE - THE WHEEL HAD OTHER CRACKS IN IT. HAD TO ORDER A NEW WHEEL FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP.

THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND WONT STEER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE DISCOVERED A LARGE CRACK ON THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE RIM. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE TIRE WAS LOSING AIR WHILE HE WAS DRIVING. THE CONTACT WENT TO SUBURBAN CHEVROLET (12475 PLAZA DR, EDEN PRAIRIE, MN 55344, (952) 955-7373) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RIM WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THE RIMS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE RIM WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000. *BF*JB

BOTH REAR RIMS HAVE CRACKS IN THEM. THE LEFT REAR RIM HAS 3 1" CRACKS ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE RIM, THE RIGHT SIDE HAS 2 1" CRACKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM. THE CAR HAS 13,000 MILES ON IT.. THE CRACKS CAUSE THE TIRES TO LOSE AIR. THE RIMS ARE NOT REPAIRABLE AND GM REFUSES TO WARRANT THE DEFECTIVE RIMS. THE DAMAGE OCCURRED IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS CAR IS STORED IN THE WINTER MONTHS AND IS NOT DRIVEN FOR 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. I HAD A TIRE GAUGE INDICATE THAT MY RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS DOWN TO 24LBS. I PUMPED UP THE TIRE AND WATCHED IF FOR A COULPE OF DAYS. IT CONTINUED TO LOOSE AIR PRESSURE SO I TOOK IT TO A QUALIFIED TIRE DEALERSHIP THINKING I HAD A PUNCTURED TIRE. THE SHOP NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TIRE WAS FINE BUT THAT THE RIM HAD 3 ONE INCH CRACKS IN IT. I WENT TO MY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HAD THEM DOCUMENT THE ISSUE TAKE PICTURES AND NOTIFY GM OF MY CLAIM. GM REJECTED THE CLAIM WITH IN 2 HOURS AND CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZZARDS.

1 CRACK ON LEFT REAR RIM 4 MONTHS AGO. 3 CRACKS ON RIGHT RIM THIS WEEK

2017 CORVETTE Z06. 15,000 MILES. BROUGHT TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO GET TWO NEW REAR TIRES. BOTH REAR WHEELS ARE CRACKED. GOOGLE SEARCH TO FIND COMMON PROBLEM. CONTACTED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. WHEELS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CAR HAS NOT BEEN TRACK DRIVEN, OR DRIVEN HARD. DRIVEN CAREFULLY. DID NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES. NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE WHEELS IN ANY WAY. OEM GM WHEELS. GLOSS BLACK 10 SPOKE Z06 WHEEL. BACK OF WHEEL: RONAL MADE IN MEXICO. 23288860.

MY WHEELS HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS UNDER NORMAL USE WITHIN 2000 MILES OF NEW. THESE LEAKS HAVE RESULTED IN AIR LOSS. *TR

MY REAR TIRE STARTED LEAKING AIR, SO I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WAS CRACK. I HARDLY DRIVE MY CAR, AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY $650 FOR ANOTHER WHEEL, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

TIRE SLOWLY LOST PRESSURE OVER SEVERAL WEEKS, EVENTUALLY LOSING 2-3 PSI/DAY. NO ISSUES FOUND WITH TIRE, BUT RIM WAS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES, STARTING AT EDGE OF INNER LIP AND EXTENDING INTO THE BARREL. CRACKS WERE ROUGHLY 1-2 INCHES IN LENGTH. NO MAJOR IMPACTS TO THE TIRE/RIM. DAILY DRIVER WITH ZERO TRACK USE. I HAVE TWO SETS OF THESE RIMS, ONE FOR SUMMER, ONE FOR WINTER. THIS WAS THE SUMMER SET WITH THE STOCK RUN-FLAT TIRE (VERY STIFF SIDEWALL, WHICH MAY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR), SO MILEAGE ON THESE IS ROUGHLY HALF OF TOTAL CAR MILEAGE.

MY 2017 CORVETTE Z06 CONVERTIBLE HAS 4 BENT WHEELS, INCLUDING ONE THAT IS CRACKED AND LEAKING AIR. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY POT HOLES OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THE WHEELS TO BEND OR CRACK. GM HAD DENIED 3/36 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY CLAIM TO REPLACE THE WHEELS AT 4000 MILES IN 6/2019. CAR PRESENTLY HAS 6000 MILES ON IT. THE CRACKED WHEEL WILL EVENTUALLY GET WORSE, POSSIBLY CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC WHEEL FAILURE WHILE DRIVING.

LEFT REAR WHEEL CRACKED AFTER 10,500 MILES. ONLY APPARENT SYMPTOM WAS A SLOW LEAK IN THE TIRE. ALL MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES WITH NO TRACK DAYS. TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVROLET DEALER FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WHEEL WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO GIVEN A LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT THIS WAS THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, NOTICED THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS LOSING PRESSURE SLOWLY. TOOK CAR TO TIRE DEALER FOR REPAIR BUT HE FOUND THE WHEEL WAS CRACKED AND THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK. THERE WAS ZERO DAMAGE OTHER THAN THE CRACK AND NO OBVIOUS IMPACT MARKS. CHEVROLET STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS DEFECT IN MATERIAL ON THE WHEEL.

WHEEL WAS LEAKING AIR AND TOOK CAR INTO TIRE SHOP TO GET FLAT FIXED. DISCOVERED THAT BOTH REAR WHEELS WERE CRACKED ON THE INSIDE RIM. RIMS SEEM TO BE DEFECTIVE AS I HAVE NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES HARD ENOUGH TO HAVE WORRIED ABOUT MY RIMS.

MY CAR HAS ALMOST 2000 MILES ON IT. I HAD A SLIGHT VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER EXPECTING A WHEEL BALANCE PROBLEM BUT FOUND OUT THAT I HAD 3 BENT WHEELS. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CORVETTE. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN, STRENGTH, ISSUE WITH THE WHEELS. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR I CAN'T REMEMBER HITTING ANYTHING THAT WOULD BEND 3 WHEELS. I DON'T ABUSE THE CAR. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER GETTING NO SATISFACTION. THEY TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. I ALSO WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM VERY LEARY ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR. GM SHOULD BEAR SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITY.

I DISCOVERED MY RIM WAS CRACKED AFTER HAVING THE WHEEL/TIRE INSPECTED FOR A CONSISTENT SLOW LEAK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THINKING THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR (FROM THE DEALER) THAT NOT ONLY WAS ONE RIM CRACKED, BUT ANOTHER TWO (2) WERE BENT. THE THEN ADVISED ME THAT GM WOULD NOT COVER THIS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. 2017 GRAND SPORT 18K MILES

RIGHT REAR WHEEL DEVELOPED INTERMITTENT AIR LEAK. TIRE SHOP UNABLE TO FIND LEAK. I CHOSE TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. WHILE FITTING TIRES, FOUR CRACKS WERE FOUND ON INSIDE EDGE OF RIGHT REAR WHEEL. WHEEL AND TIRE ROAD HAZARD INSURANCE SENT INSPECTOR TO DOCUMENT AND PHOTOGRAPH WHEEL. CLAM WAS DENIED AS THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF POT HOLE OR OTHER HAZARD DAMAGE. CLAIM WAS DENIED AND DAMAGE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO WHEELS BECAUSE OF BEING CRACKED AND BENT CAUSING WHEEL VIBRATIONS AND LEAKS. THIS WAS FROM NORMAL DRIVING ON VARIOUS HIGHWAYS.

OEM 2 REAR RIMS CRACKED ON BACKSIDE LIP IN 3 PLACES. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVE 2,000 MILES SINCE PURCHASED. 90% HIGHWAY DRIVING NO POTHOLES WERE HIT. I DID SEE THERE IS A LAWSUIT AGAINST GM, LLC ABOUT GRAND SPORT AND Z06 RIMS WAS FILED

WHEEL IS CRACKED, AND THE TIRE WILL NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE. DO NOT KNOW IF WHEEL WAS IN MOTION, OR, IF WHEEL WAS CRACKED BY COLD TEMPERATURE, AS VEHICLE IS STORED IN AN UNHEATED GARAGE DURING WINTER.

RIGHT REAR WHEEL RIM ON Z06 CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. LOST AIR WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. TOOK TO DEALER THINKING HAD A NAIL OR SLOW LEAK IN TIRE AND DISCOVERED THE TWO CRACKS CAUSING RESULTING IN A DEFLATED TIRE. DID NOT HIT POTHOLES, BUMPS OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS.

WHEELS BENT AND CRACKED THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM. CRACKED WHEELS COULD PRESENT A SAFETY PROBLEM. SITUATION VERIFIED ON TUESDAY MAY 7TH 2019

REPLACED 4 TIRES AT 22,000 MILES. NOTED OUT OF ROUND/BENT RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND CRACKED LEFT REAR WHEEL CAUSING A SLOW AIR LEAK. GM DENIED LEFT REAR WHEEL WARRANTY AND CLAIM PENDING ON FRONT RIGHT.

PASSENGER-SIDE REAR WHEEL CRACKED IN THREE PLACES. I NOTICED THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES GOING DOWN SO WENT TO GET IT INVESTIGATED BY LOCAL TIRE SHOP WHO FOUND THE THREE CRACKS. GM WON'T HONOR THEIR BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH IS INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING, DESPITE THE CAR ONLY BEING 2 YEARS OLD WITH 9K MILES ON IT.

CRACKED RIGHT REAR WHEEL ON HIGHWAY WITH ROAD REPAIRS IN PROCESS. NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRE WHEN INSPECTED BY DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY. WHEEL WAS LEAKING AIR FROM THE INSIDE FLANGE OF THE WHEEL.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

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.

IN APRIL 2019, MY CAR'S RIGHT REAR WHEEL LOST AIR PRESSURE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I DISCOVERED THAT THE WHEEL HAD A HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE INSIDE LIP, SO I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THE WHEEL. IN SEPTEMBER 2019, MY CAR'S LEFT REAR WHEEL LOST AIR PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY. I DISCOVERED THAT THE WHEEL HAD 3 HAIRLINE CRACKS ON THE INSIDE LIP, SO AGAIN I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THE WHEEL.

HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE INSIDE REAR WHEEL WITH NO VISIBLE ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL OR TIRE. IT WAS DISCOVERED AFTER A TPMS LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THE PREVIOUS DAY WAS LIGHT CITY STREET DRIVING WITHOUT DRIVING OVER ANY DEBRIS OR POTHOLES.

THE CAR HAS HAD A VIBRATION SINCE NEW. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS DUE TO FOUR BENT WHEELS AND THREE BAD TIRES. THE CAR HAD THE FOUR WHEELS AND TIRES REPLACED AT 3200 MILES. TWO WEEKS AND 400 MILES LATER I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE VIBRATION DID NOT GET SOLVED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THREE OF THE REPLACED WERE BENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE WHEELS THAT ARE VERY PRONE TO BENDING. NOW I AM NOT DRIVING THE CAR IN FEAR OF THE CONSTANT PROBLEM OF BENDING THE WHEELS. IN ONE MONTH THE CAR HAS HAD SEVEN WHEELS AND FOUR TIRES REPLACED.

AT AROUND 10,000 MILES, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE BENT. WHEN REPLACING THE REAR TIRES AT 17,000 MILES, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS HAD TWO SIZEABLE CRACKS ON THE INSIDE LIP. BASED ON REPORTS FROM CORVETTEFORUM.COM, THIS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE C7 GRAND SPORT WHEELS.

CRACKED REAR WHEEL (INSIDE LIP). NO CURB RASH, NO MARKING ON TIRE. DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE IN WARRANTY.

I WAS NOTIFIED BY MY ON-STAR THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ON A RECALL, REGARDING THE EPS ELECIRONIC POWER STEERING COULD BE LOSS AND COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

I HAVE A 2017 GRAND SPORT WITH APPROX. 17,000 MILES, AND AM LOSING AIR IN THE REAR-LEFT TIRE. I PULLED THE WHEEL AND DISCOVERED FOUR CRACKS ON THE BACK RIM EDGE, LOCATED AT 12:00, 1:00, 5:00 AND 6:00. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF IMPACT TO THE TIRE OR RIM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE SHREDDED DUE TO A CRACK IN THE RIM. THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO THE CONTACT IN FEBRUARY AND THE DEALER (GRAY CHEVROLET, 1245 N 9TH ST, STROUDSBURG, PA 18360, (866) 505-3058) STATED THAT THIS TYPE OF CHEVROLET RIM WOULD CRACK IN COLD WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAY CHEVROLET (1245 N 9TH ST, STROUDSBURG, PA 18360, (866) 505-3058) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW RIM WAS NEEDED. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE RIM WAS REMOVED AND A NEW ONE WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, AFTER RECEIVING THE NEW RIM, THE OTHER THREE RIMS ALSO CRACKED. ALL FOUR RIMS WERE REPLACED IN MARCH OF 2018. A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE CONTACT STRUCK A POTHOLE AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE RIM CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT ALL FOUR RIMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 780.
