WHEELS
THE DEALER, COSMO MOTORS, INC., FAILED TO DISCLOSE THAT THREE OF THE FOUR WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN REPAIRED, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR GOES UNDER A MULTI POINT INSPECTION AT THEIR LOCATION. ONE OF THE REPAIRS LOOKS PARTICULARLY BAD WITH TWO SECTIONS THAT ARE SIX INCHES LONG AND NOT STRAIGHT. THE DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK OR REPLACE THE WHEELS.

WHEELS
I PURCHASED MY 20018 CORVETTE Z06 IN DECEMBER OF 2020 AND BECAUSE THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE I ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED 6 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I DROVE CAR OFF THE LOT AND DROVE IT FOR A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A SLOW LEAK IN THE DRIVER REAR TIRE AND TOOK IT TO BE REPAID AND THE DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY SAID THAT IT WAS CRACKED WITH A FAILING REPAIR. I THEN LOOKED TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THIS UNSAFE SITUATION AND THEY INFORMED THEY COULDN'T COVER UNDER ANY OF MY WARRANTIES AND THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE NOT THEIRS I ALSO TOOK OFF ALL 4 WHEELS TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE CRACKED AND 1 ADDITIONAL FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS CRACKED AND REPAIRED SO I HAVE 2 THAT ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON. I ALSO CONTACTED CHEVROLET CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHO AFTER A MONTH FINALLY GOT BACK TO ME TO SAY THAT IT IS THE ROADS NOT THE WHEELS SO THEY ARE NOT COVERING THIS ISSUE UNLESS AND UNTIL A LAWSUIT IS SUCCESSFUL IN CREATING A RECALL CAMPAIGN. WITH THAT SAID AM LOOKING TO JOIN A LAWSUIT BECAUSE I HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE WITH THAT GM KNOWINGLY IS CONTINUING TO DENY AND SOMEONE MAY LOSE THEIR LIFE BY CRASHING AFTER A BLOWOUT THAT MOST LIKELY COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY GM STEPPING UP AND TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SELLING US FAULTY CAST WHEELS.

WHEELS
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2019. ON, OR ABOUT JANUARY 4, 2021, MY RIGHT 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 NOR THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL). MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NELSON HALL CHEVROLET IN MERIDIAN FOR REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT SHE HAD TO GET APPROVAL FROM GENERAL MOTORS BEFORE THEY COULD REPLACE THE WHEEL ON MY VEHICLE. 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. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY, THAT I CAN NOT ENJOY BECAUSE OF GENERAL MOTORS' REFUSAL TO HONOR THE WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE. PLEASE NOTE, THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, NOR IS THERE ANY DAMAGE ON THE SURFACE OF THE WHEEL. THIS IS A FACTORY OR A DESIGN DEFECT...I KEEP THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE.

WHEELS
WHEN TAKING THE CAR OUT FOR A TEST RIDE I NOTICED THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON. DEALER SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER. I PURCHASED THE CAR AND A FEW DAYS HAD PASSED AND THE LIGHT WAS STILL ACTIVE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSPECTED FURTHER AND REALIZED MY WHEEL WAS BENT AND CRACKED. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAD FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE C-7 CORVETTES, SPECIFICALLY THE GRAND SPORT AND Z06 MODELS WHERE THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME DUE TO THE WHEELS NOT BEING FORGED.

WHEELS
I HAVE LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON MY 2019 CORVETTE ZO6 AND BECAUSE OF A VIBRATION I HAD MY TIRES AND RIMS CHECKED FOR BALANCING. I FOUND OUT THE DRIVERS FRONT AND BOTH REAR RIMS MUST BE BENT THAT WAS DETECTED ON THE BALANCING MACHINE. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES AND HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL AS THIS IS MY DREAM CAR. OF COURSE I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED ESPECIALLY AFTER READING SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS!

WHEELS
II NOTICED UNEVEN AND EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR SO I TOOK MY 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT IN AND THE TECHNICIAN POINTED OUT CRACKS IN BOTH REAR WHEELS, AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES OF NORMAL DRIVING. I HAD THE TIRES REPLACED AND A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT. AFTERWARDS THE TIRES WOULD NOT MAINTAIN AIR PRESSURE SO I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHEELS.

WHEELS
GAINING A LOT OF ATTENTION OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS BY C7 (2014-2019) CHEVROLET CORVETTE OWNERS, IS THE ISSUE OF WHEEL RIMS CRACKING, SPECIFICALLY ON THE Z06 AND GRAND SPORT MODELS. I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT OF ARTICLES REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND WHILE NOT CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE WITH MY 2019 CORVETTE, I'M CONCERNED THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THE NHTS COMMISSION WILL BE LOOKING INTO THIS PROBLEM. GM HAS ALREADY STATED THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT.

SERVICE BRAKES
GM REFUSES TO REPLACE THE BRAKE MODULE DESPITE THE FACT THAT THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN SINCE SEPTEMBER 2020. THE REMEDY "IS INCOMPLETE"AND PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. IT IS LUDICROUS TO ASSUME THAT PARTS ON A CURRENTLY PRODUCED CAR ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THEY ARE INSTALLING THIS MODULE DAILY. THESE ARE BRAKES THAT CAN FAIL AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN THEY DO FAIL.
