WHEELS
MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR (TPS) CAME ON FOR BOTH THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS. UPON INSPECTION OF THE TIRES LOSING AIR, THE AUTO SHOP FOUND THAT BOTH RIMS WERE BENT AND CRACKED. THEREFORE, I DECIDED TO INCUR THE EXPENSE AND GET BOTH REPAIRED UNTIL I CAN PURCHASE NEW WHEELS. SINCE I HAD NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD CAUSE MAJOR STRESS TO THE WHEELS, MY MECHANIC AND I DETERMINED THAT THESE CRACKS MUST HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. BECAUSE THERE IS A LARGE NUMBER OF REPORTS OF CRACKED OR BENT WHEELS ON C7 (2014-2019) CORVETTES, I AM REPORTING WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT.

WHEELS
WHILE GETTING NEW TIRES INSTALLED, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED ONE OF MY WHEELS WAS CRACKED. I HAD NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE MAJOR STRESS TO THE WHEEL. IF I HAD NOT NEEDED NEW TIRES, THE CRACK LIKELY WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN FOUND UNTIL IT CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE STEERING WHEEL POPPED OUT AND DROPPED INTO MY LAP. SEEMS AS IF ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN FELL, AS WELL AS SPRING LOADED ACTION OF ACTUAL STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO LIFT UP AND APPLY PRESSURE FORWARD ONTO STEERING WHEEL TO REGAIN CONTROL OF STEERING, BUT HAD TO HOLD WHEEL IN PLACE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2012 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT HAS AN INCREASINGLY STRONG FRESH GASOLINE SMELL ESPECIALLY AFTER FILLING UP. WHEN I START TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE SMELL BEGINS TO PERMEATE THE PASSENGER CABIN. AFTER READING ONLINE FORUMS IT APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING SAFETY ISSUE/ HAZARD WITH THE C6 GENERATION CORVETTE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE BUT TO SMELL FRESH GASOLINE IS DEFINITELY HAZARDOUS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING UP MY TANK, I SMELL A STRONG GAS SMELL PRIMARILY FROM THE LEFT REAR (WHERE I FILL UP) SIDE OF THE CAR. IT FILLS MY GARAGE WITH STRONG FUMES AND I DON'T FEEL SAVE STARTING IT, MUCH LESS DRIVING IT. I DON'T SMELL ANYTHING IN THE CABIN, ONLY WHEN IT'S IN THE GARAGE. ALSO LEADS ME TO BELIEVE I'M LOOSING GAS AND FUEL ECONOMY SO THAT'S A DRAG. I'VE LOOKED AT POSSIBLE CAUSES, AND IT COULD BE MANY DIFFERENT THINGS SO IT'S CURRENTLY UKNOWN AS FAR AS WHAT PART IS EXACTLY WRONG. I SMELL THE FUMES WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY.

WHEELS
THE LEFT REAR WHEEL (STOCK, OEM) CRACKED WHILE ON VACATION AND THERE BEING NO OTHER OPTION AND SINCE THE TIRE WAS LOSING AIR I HAD THE WHEEL WELDED. A FEW DAYS LATER, WHILE STILL ON VACATION, THE SAME TIRE WAS LOSING AIR AGAIN. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WELD WAS INTACT BUT THAT THERE WERE THREE ADDITIONAL CRACKS. AFTER HAVING THOSE WELDED I LIMPED ALONG UNTIL I COULD ACQUIRE A NEW WHEEL. THE RIGHT SIDE REAR ALSO SHOW A CRACK WHEN I RETUNED FROM VACATION AND HAD OCCASION TO REPLACE ALL WHEELS. I SHIPPED THE WHEEL WITH 4 WELDED CRACKS HOME AND STILL HAVE IT FOR EVIDENCE IF NEEDED. ALL CRACKS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS-BOTH GOING STRAIGHT AND TURNING. CRACKED WHEELS ON 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTES HAVE HAPPENED ON TOO MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES TO BE A COINCIDENCE AND, IN FACT, THERE IS A PENDING CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THEM.

WHEELS
IN THE PAST YEAR MY REAR ALLOY WHEELS HAVE SUFFERED TWO SEPARATE CRACKS IN THE LEFT REAR WHEEL AND ONE CRACK IN THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL CAUSING FLAT TIRES. ON EACH OCCASION I WENT TO MY CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS DAMAGE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I HAD TO HAVE THE WHEELS REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THESE WHEELS ARE FRAGILE BECAUSE THEY ARE LOW PROFILE. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD OR TRACKED NOR HIT ANY MAJOR POTHOLES. I AM 76 YEARS OLD AND HAVE DRIVEN MILLIONS OF MILES AND OWNED DOZENS OF CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BENT OR CRACKED WHEEL BEFORE. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, AUGUST OF 2019 AND OCTOBER OF 2019. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF DRIVING ON UNSAFE WHEELS. BY THE WAY, THESE RIMS COST OVER $800 APIECE. I HAVE MET MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2017-2018 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT AND Z06 MODELS THAT USE THE SAME WHEELS AND HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS OF CRACKED AND BENT WHEELS THAT WERE REFUSED WARRANTY COVERAGE BY CHEVROLET. ONLINE BLOGS HAVE STATED THAT CHEVROLET DOESN'T KEEP RECORDS OF ALL OF THESE CLAIMS THAT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR. IF CHEVROLET REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THESE PROBLEMS THERE SHOULD BE A GOVERNMENT RECALL TO FORCE THEM TO CORRECT THE SERIOUS DANGER POSED BY THESE SUBSTANDARD WHEELS. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT IS BEING CREATED TO FORCE SOME ACTION AND REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
