ALL FOUR RIMS ARE BENT AND CRACKED. THIS IS TRUE FOR ALMOST ALL 2015 TO 2019 GRAND SPORT AND Z06 CORVETTE'S. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST GMC AS OF TODAY'S DATE. THE RIMS ARE DEFECTIVE AND GMC KNOWS THEY ARE. BUT REFUSES TO FIX THEM. I PAID OVER 50,000 CASH FOR MY 2019 GRAND SPORT, AND IT SITS IN THE GARAGE WITH 2 FLAT TIRES. DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT AT OF FEAR SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH GMC SEVERAL TIMES, THEY REFUSE TO HELP. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME?

WHEELS
IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO CRACKED RIMS AND FOUR BENT RIMS. IN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM, PRIMARILY FOR 2014-2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT AND Z06 OWNERS HAVE WITH THE ALUMINUM-ALLOY WHEELS. A CRACKED WHEEL POSES A SAFETY RISK AS IT COULD PUNCTURE A TIRE WHILE DRIVING. GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT, ALTHOUGH THESE CARS HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THERE ARE CLASS ACTION SUITS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED. THERE HAS BEEN NO SPECIFIC INCIDENT THAT ATTRIBUTE TO MY RIMS HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. IT IS NOT AN EVERDAY CAR FOR ME AND I SELDOM DRIVE IT.

WHEELS
UPON RECEIVING MY 2019 GRAND SPORT FROM THE DEALER BY TRUCKING COMPANY, ALL 4 WHEELS WERE WARPED/BENT. I REALIZED THIS WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND AROUND 50 MPH THE CAR STARTED TO SHIMMY/SHAKE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY PUT IT UP ON THE RACK AND SHOWED ME ALL 4 WHEELS WHERE SPINNING WARPED. I HAVE VIDEOS OF ALL 4 WHEELS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR REEKS OF GAS IF TANK IS FILLED MORE THAN HALF TANK FULL. FUEL SPRAYS FROM HIGH PRESSURE LINE AT THE TOP OF THE LEFT TANK, RUNS DOWN SIDES AND COLLECTS IN SHEETMETAL PAN THAT HOLDS TANK UP. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 20,000 MILES AND WAS OUT OF SERVICE FROM 2015 TO 2019 WITH A MASSIVE ELECTRICAL MELTDOWN OF THE ABS SYSTEM THAT COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE ECBM AND THE HARNESS PLUG. AFTER FIXING THE ABS SYSTEM IN 2019, AND DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN, I NOTICED STRONG FUEL SMELL INSIDE THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND GM HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM BUT IT ENDED IN 2018, BEFORE I STARTED HAVING THE FUEL ODOR PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST YEAR ON SEPTEMBER, THE CAR FOR JUST 3500 MILES, ON NOVEMBER THAT YEAR I PUT MY CAR IN STORAGE, I PICKED MY CAR UP THIS YEAR ON MARCH. TWO MONTHS AGO, I REALIZED THAT AFTER FUELING MY CAR A REALLY STRONG SMELL LIKE GAS WAS PRESENT, I CHECKED UNDERNEATH BOTH I COULDN'T SEE ANY LEAKAGE, BUT I CHECKED THE DRIVER'S SIDE GAS TANK AND IT WAS KIND OF WET, I SAW TRACES OF GAS DROPLETS. I FOUND ONLINE THAT GMC POSTED A BULLETIN TO GET FIXED THIS ISSUE ON LOTS OF C6 CORVETTES, I TOOK THAT BULLETIN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE TIME FOR THAT BULLETIN EXPIRED LAST YEAR ON JUNE, I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I GOT THE CAR ON SEPTEMBER AND ALSO MY CAR JUST HAD 3500 MILES, BUT THE SAID THAT IF I WANT MY CAR TO GET FIXED I HAVE TO PAY. I TOLD ME THAT IT'S NOT FAIR BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS GMC FAULT. THIS IS WHY I'M FILLING THIS COMPLAIN WITH YOU. I WAS ABLE JUST TO UPLOAD ONE PIC BUT I HAVE MORE, SHOWING THE GAS TANK WET.*DT*JB

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ON OCTOBER 10, 2020. I WAS DRAG RACING MY 2008 CORVETTE (THAT I DRIVE DAILY ON THE PUBLIC ROADS) AT THE LOCAL TRACK AS I HAVE BEEN ALL THIS SEASON AND PART OF LAST YEAR'S TOO AFTER ACQUIRING THE CAR MID 2019. I HAVE BEEN DRAG RACING FOR THE BETTER PART OF 40 YEARS. I AM SAYING THIS TO ALLEVIATE ANY POSSIBLE THOUGHTS OF ROOKIE MOVES ON MY PART ON THE TRACK, ETC. THE LOCAL TRACK IS AN NHRA SANCTIONED TRACK THAT TAKES SAFETY VERY SERIOUSLY AND THEIR TRACK PREP IS SECOND TO NONE, ESPECIALLY AT THIS PARTICULAR EVENT, THAT IS ATTENDED BY HUNDREDS OF RACERS FROM MANY STATES. I STAGED MY CAR IN THE RIGHT LANE OF THE TRACK WITH "COMPETITION MODE" ENGAGED, AS I HAVE EVERY TIME IN THE PAST. THE CAR LAUNCHED STRAIGHT AND TRUE AS IT NORMALLY DOES. THE RUN WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND STRAIGHT UNTIL AFTER CROSSING THE QUARTER MILE FINISH LINE, WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS, THE CAR MADE AN IMMEDIATE HOOK TO THE RIGHT, DIRECTLY INTO THE CONCRETE RETAINING WALL. I BOUNCED OFF THAT WALL, CROSSING THE PATH OF MY OPPONENT IN THE LEFT LANE, IN A NEAR COLLISION, BOUNCING OFF THE LEFT WALL, AND THEN BACK OVER AGAIN INTO THE RIGHT WALL. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR ON MY OWN. I WAS COMPLETELY STUNNED, BECAUSE AT THE TIME I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED ANY OF THIS. NOTHING MADE SENSE. BY THE TIME YOU CROSS THE FINISH LINE, UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE TRACK, LOSS OF TRACTION IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. IN MY OWN INVESTIGATION I RAN ACROSS MULIPLE EVENTS OF THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAS HAD ACTIVE HANDLING ISSUES THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS TYPE OF ACTION WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN A HEAVY BRAKING OF THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL. MY SON RECORDED THIS PASS AND ACCIDENT ON HIS PHONE AND IT SHOWS THE CAR TURNING RIGHT BEFORE ANY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON. ANY HELP OR INFORMATION YOU CAN SUPPLY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU
