WHEELS
PISSED OFF!, ... MY GRAND SPORT IS 1 YEAR OLD THIS WEEK, AND IT'S BEEN BABIED THE ENTIRE TIME WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVING OVER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS. 8,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, YET MY DRIVER'S REAR TIRE HAS BEEN LEAKING AIR SLOWLY SINCE ABOUT 4,000 MILES. THIS CERTAINLY HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING OVER NORMAL FREEWAYS AND STREETS. IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS THE LEAK HAS BECOME SO BAD IT'S BEEN FLAT (11 PSI) TWICE THE NEXT DAY AFTER HAVING BEEN PROPERLY FILLED THE DAY BEFORE! (I'VE ALWAYS CARRIED A PORTABLE TIRE INFLATOR IN HE TRUNK). THIS IS SOOO OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM WITH THESE CAST ALUMINUM 12" WIDE WHEELS ON THE Z06 AND GRAND SPORT MODELS. GM SHOULD BE EXPOSED FOR DENYING ANYONE'S CLAIM WHEN ONE OF THESE ARE BENT OR CRACKED WITHIN THE WARRANTEE PERIOD. WHAT MAKES ME EVEN ANGRIER IS THAT MUCH OF THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE AVOIDED IF CHEVROLET WOULD MAKE THE "MAG RIDE UPDATE" AVAILABLE FOR FREE, INSTEAD OF THE $350 THEY CHARGE!!!" ... MANY WHO HAVE PAID FOR THIS RIDICULOUS CHARGE, (SHOULD BE FREE) ... HAVE SAID IT MAKES THE SUSPENSION AND RIDE, SOFTER AND FAR MORE COMPLIANT WHILE IMPROVING THE THE CORNERING AND HANDLING. I BELIEVE THIS WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD RELIEVING THE STRESSES THESE WHEELS ARE FAILING UNDER! I WISH WE WOULD ORGANIZE AND FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST GM FOR THESE WHEEL FAILURES! NOW I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE AGGRAVATION, TIME LOSS OF VEHICLE USAGE AND PROBABLY STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A WHEEL REPAIR THAT ITSELF WILL LIKELY CRACK AGAIN, (SAFETY CONCERN)... OR BUY A WHOLE NEW SET OF AFTERMARKET WHEELS !!! I AM HERE, CONTACTING NHTSA TO FILE MY COMPLAINT!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CONSISTENT FUEL SMELL COMING FROM VEHICLE. CAN NO LONGER PARK THE CAR IN THE GARAGE IN FEAR OF STARTING A FIRE AND BURNING THE HOUSE DOWN AND POTENTIALLY KILLING MY FAMILY AS IT SITS NEXT TO WATER HEATER. GAS SMELL COMES FROM WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IN THE GARAGE AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE LEAKS (SPOTS OR PUDDLES UNDERNEATH THE CAR)

WHEELS
UNLIKE MY REAR-LEFT WHEEL (SEE COMPLAINT #11192823) WHICH HAS FOUR CRACKS AND LOSES ABOUT 24 PSI PER DAY, MY RIGHT-REAR WHEEL ISN'T LOSING ANY AIR (YET). HOWEVER I PULLED THE IT OFF TONIGHT AND DISCOVERED TWO CRACKS DEVELOPING ON IT AS WELL. AGAIN, AS IN THE LEFT-REAR WHEEL, THERE ARE NO BUMPS OR BRUISES ON THE RIM AT THE POINTS OF FAILURE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS FUMES LEAK INTO THE COCKPIT AND SMELL UP THE CAR SO BAD IT MAKES YOU DIZZY AND SMELL UP THE ENTIRE GARAGE, WORSE IS THE FACT THAT 2 DEALERS IN MY AREA STILL HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO CORRECT IT, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS A CLASS ACT FILED AGAINST MANUFACTURE.

WHEELS
AT AROUND 10,000 MILES, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE BENT. WHEN REPLACING THE REAR TIRES AT 17,000 MILES, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS HAD TWO SIZEABLE CRACKS ON THE INSIDE LIP. BASED ON REPORTS FROM CORVETTEFORUM.COM, THIS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE C7 GRAND SPORT WHEELS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FRONT LIGHTS OF THE CAR ONE OF THEM ISN'T WORKING. I BELIEVE THIS ISN'T THE FIRST COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS KIND OF CAR. IT IS DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PUT MY HIGH BEAMS ON FOR THEM TO WORK. AT TIMES BOTH THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND WITH TIME DRIVING IT WILL TURN ONE OF THEM OFF. IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE VISIBILITY ON THE ROAD FOR ME AND OTHER DRIVERS.

SEAT BELTS
GM ORDERED THE INCORRECT SEAT BELTS WHICH WOULD SATISFY THE RECALL. THEY'VE IGNORED MY PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS. ACCORDING TO MY FINDINGS GM MUST EITHER SATISFY THE RECALL OR PROVIDE ME WITH A SUITABLE VEHICLE WHICH IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

AIR BAGS
MY CAR WAS SEEN BY THE DEALER THREE YEARS AGO FOR THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT CONSISTENTLY STAYING ON. NOW MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING ALL THE TIME. I SURVIVED TWO WARS WHILE SERVING IN THE ARMY AND NOW MY LIFE IS IN DANGER BECAUSE OF AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER CAR OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT.
