I own a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette with approximately 17,748 miles. The vehicle developed a significant vibration/ride-quality issue and was inspected by an authorized Chevrolet dealer. The dealer determined that all four factory wheels were bent/deformed and recommended replacement of the wheels and tires. The estimated repair cost was approximately $6,251.28. I am not aware of any collision, pothole strike, curb impact, or other event that would explain damage to all four wheels. Photographs of the wheels do not show obvious impact damage. The dealer nevertheless determined that all four wheels were bent. A technician also documented the condition in a video and specifically identified the wheels as bent. I contacted Chevrolet Customer Care and requested warranty assistance under the vehicle's Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty, which remains in effect. Chevrolet declined to cover the replacement. Instead, I was offered the option to purchase replacement wheels, with a 24-month warranty and replacement if a subsequent problem occurs without visible damage. I am submitting this complaint because I am concerned about the durability and structural integrity of the factory wheels. Multiple wheels on a relatively low-mileage Corvette becoming bent without a known impact event raises a potential safety concern. A deformed wheel can cause vibration, affect tire performance, and potentially impact vehicle handling. I request that NHTSA review whether there is a pattern of bent, deformed, cracked, or otherwise compromised factory wheels on C8 Chevrolet Corvettes, particularly where owners report no identifiable impact event. I can provide photographs, the dealer's inspection/repair documentation, technician video, repair estimate, and Chevrolet Customer Care correspondence supporting this complaint.

While driving normally, I was in the middle of a busy highway/intersection when the vehicle suddenly lost power and came to a complete stop. The vehicle shut itself off without warning, leaving the Corvette disabled in the roadway and causing a complete blockage of the road/intersection. Traffic was actively traveling around me, creating a serious safety hazard and putting both myself and other motorists at risk of a collision. After the vehicle stopped, it would not restart. The instrument cluster displayed a theft-deterrent/immobilizer warning and a lock/security symbol, along with a message stating that there could be a problem with the theft-deterrent system and referring to Immobilizer Operation. The vehicle has full electrical power, but when attempting to start it, it only clicks and the engine does not crank or start. I placed the key fob in the designated backup location as instructed in the owner’s manual, but the vehicle still would not start. The exact failed component has not yet been diagnosed or confirmed. The vehicle is available for inspection. The sudden and unexpected loss of power while I was in the middle of a busy highway/intersection caused an immediate and serious safety concern because the vehicle became completely disabled and blocked the roadway.

The vehicle has the dash lifting started to happen a month after I bought the vehicle that a bubble formed and now it’s peeling off it’s a common issue on all Corvette 3Lt’s and Chevy is aware of it and charge customers $3,000 to replace it and don’t think it’s right to do that and should own up to mistake but forums of Corvette owners show how common of a issue it is on the 3Lt trim since it’s leather.

At 23000 miles the right rear wheel cracked. I have a 2023 Corvette stingray HTC with the 20" wheels. The option code for this original GM wheel is Q8Q, "20" rear carbon flash painted aluminum wheels with machined edge". This is a common problem and has been reported by many corvette owners on several corvette forums. I do not track my car and have new tires. GM again ignores this safety item. I had the problem on my C7 and again on my C8. I did complete the GM refund paperwork for my C7 cracked rear rims, however, GM never did any refunds or tried to correct this safety issue.
