WHEELS
My left rear wheel developed a crack. Luckily I noticed this quickly, or a catastrophic failure could have occurred leading to loss of vehicle control and potential crash. These failures are well documented on the web, with 100's of owners experiencing the same failure. GM made a poor engineering/cost decision when deciding to use cast wheels on a high performance car with a large drum overhang and stiff low profile tires. Forged wheels are much stronger and should have used in this application. A GM dealership has looked at the problem and did contact GM. As with all the other cases, they refuse to take responsibility. Some people have gotten reimbursed for their cost by GM after arbitration via the BBB.

WHEELS
Drivers side rear wheel developed a slow leak. I took the car to my tire dealer and they found a crack on the inner outer edge of the wheel. My research shows a pattern of this problem and a class action lawsuit has been started. My car is considered a super car of speeds in excess of 200 mph. This is a serious safety hazard. What is my best course of action on this dangerous situation?

Passenger rear rim developed a crack at approximately 7k miles. It was replaced / repaired at approximately 40k miles by my local Chevy dealer. My car was repeatedly taken to the dealer for a leaking tire. At 39k+ mile, I was informed by the service department that I had a cracked rim. After several discussion, the dealer agreed to replace the defective rim at no cost to me. Please note! I have a copy of all of my repairs with the exception of the rim replacement. At this time, the dealers hasn't given me one. I am currently waiting for a copy of this repair. The dealers name is: Peter's Chevrolet HWY 259 N. Longview, Tx. 75608

WHEELS
BOTH REAR RIMS CRACKED. NO ROAD HAZARDS INVOLVED. SIMPLE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. VERY COMPLICATED ISSUE BECAUSE GM REFUSES TO REPLACE RIMS & I HAD TO PAY FOR AFTERMARKET RIMS FOR $4000. WHAT IS WORSE IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP BLAMED THE CRACKED RIMS ON MY DRIVING HABITS. IN 26 YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER HAD A DAMAGED RIM ON ANY OF MY VEHICLES. I RECEIVED INFO ABOUT THE CRACKED RIMS FROM A FELLOW CORVETTE OWNER WHO ALSO DISCOVERED HIS RIMS WERE CRACKED. SO I INSPECTED MY RIMS AS WELL. SURE ENOUGH, CRACKED. MARY BARRA FOR PRISON!
