WHEELS
I BOUGHT A NEW 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT, AFTER DRIVING IT A SHORT TIME I NOTICED A VIBRATION. I HAD THE TIRES AND WHEELS CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD ALL 4 OF MY WHEELS WERE BENT AND I NEEDED NEW WHEELS. I BOUGHT AFTER MARKET WHEELS BECAUSE I HAD HEARD ABOUT THE THE PROBLEM OF WHEELS COMING OUT BENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER, AND GENERAL MOTORS WAS NOT HONORING THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY ON THE WHEELS.

WHEELS
I FIRST NOTICED SOMETHING WAS OFF WITH MY 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT WHEN IT BEGAN TO VIBRATE, SHIMMY, AND SHUTTER WHEN I WOULD DRIVE ABOVE 30 MPH. LATER THAT SAME DAY MY CAR BEGAN TO HAVE A SLOW LEAK IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE, I FIGURED I CAUGHT A NAIL OR SOMETHING FROM THE ROAD. I INSPECTED THE TREAD AREA OF THE TIRE AND DID NOT SEE ANY VISIBLE MARKINGS THAT COULD CAUSE A LEAK. I INSPECTED MY WHEELS WITHIN THE INSIDE WHEEL WELL AND NOTICED A CRACK IN THE BACK DRIVER SIDE RIM. I TOOK MY CAR TO A NEARBY GENERAL MOTORS DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A REAR RIM. MY CAR IS BARELY DRIVEN, RELATIVELY NEW, WITH LOW MILES AND I DID NOT RECALL HITTING ANYTHING IN THE ROAD NOR HAVE ANY ROAD/CURB RASH TO ANY OF MY WHEELS. RECENTLY, I SEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW AN ARTICLE POSTED IN A CORVETTE FORUM THAT CORVETTE Z06 AND GRAND SPORT OWNERS FILED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST GENERAL MOTORS FOR DEFECTIVE WHEELS THAT ARE PRONE TO DEFORM AND CRACK, WITHOUT ANY IMPACT DAMAGE. LIKE OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RIM AND HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER FACTORY RIM OR PURCHASE A SET OF COMPARABLE AFTERMARKET RIMS AT ~$6K. THESE RIMS ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THEY COULD PUNCTURE THE TIRES, CAUSE ADDITIONAL AIR LEAKS, AND POSSIBLE TIRE BLOWOUTS. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE RIMS AS THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS IN HUGE RISK OF POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OWNERS AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD.

2015 Z06 CORVETTE CRACKED 3 REAR WHEELS (20" DIAMETER). ONE AT 24,000 MILES, ONE AT 30,000 MILES AND ONE AT 40,000 MILES. CAR IS ONLY DRIVEN TO WORK ON INTERSTATE QUALITY ROADS. NO IN TOWN DRIVING. ALL WHEEL CRACKED ON THE INSIDE. THE CRACKS STARTED AT THE OUTER EDGE, DOWN THE RIM, THEN TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE WHEEL. WHEN THE CRACK PROPAGATED PAST THE OUTER BEAD OF THE TIRE, THE WHEEL STARTED LEAKING AIR. I HAVE TWO OF THE CRACKED WHEELS PRESENTLY. NONE OF THE WHEELS ARE BENT.

BENT AND CRACKED RIGHT REAR WHEEL. ALL OTHER WHEELS ARE OUT-OF-ROUND. HAPPENED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. DEALER WOULDN'T COVER UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY.

MULTIPLE STRESS CRACKS IN BOTH REAR WHEELS, NO DAMAGE OR INSULTS TO WHEEL! GENERAL MOTORS OR NASSANI BROTHERS CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP CULVER CITY, CA, WOULD ACKNOWLEDG THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GENERAL MOTORS NUMEROUS TIMES, WITH GM TELLING TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLING ME TO CONTACT GENERAL MOTORS, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS RESULTING IN BUYING 1 TIRE AND NEW WHEELS OUT OF POCKET.

ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD CRACKED WHEEL RIMS ON MY 2019 CORVETTE. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING AT 65MPH AND A VIBRATION OCCURRED AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND BOTH TIMES THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO DEFECT ON THE RIMS AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM. SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND POSSIBLY DIE. CHEVY NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY RIMS.UNACCEPTABLE!!! I'M HOPING NTSB WILL ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.

ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2020, I TOOK MY 2016 CORVETTE Z06 TO CLASSIC CHEVROLET IN SUGAR LAND, TEXAS BECASE I HAD A LEAK IN MY RIGHT REAR TIRE/WHEEL. I WAS TOLD LATER THAT DAY THAT I HAD A CRACKED WHEEL AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $900. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO REPLACE THE WHEEL. I HAVE NOT HIT ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS CRACK, AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH Z06'S HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM; THAT IS, CRACKED WHEELS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I QUESTIONED THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN ABOUT THIS COMPLAINT AS I HAVE READ ABOUT IT ON LINE. HE SAID GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS NOT ONLY POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, BUT A HORRIBLE EXPENSE THAT SHOULD NOT BE BORNE BY Z06 OWNERS.
