TOOK CORVETTE TO THREEWAY CHEVROLET IN BAKERSFIELD ON 6/9/20 FOR ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL FOUR TRIMS ARE BENT AND CRACKED. AND EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, THEY WON'T COVER THE TRIMS. I HAVE SINCE SPOKEN WITH THE MANAGER OF THREEWAY, AND HE AGREED THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED. HE SAID , NO WAY SOMEONE COULD BEND AND CRACK ALL 4 TIMES, AND NOT CAUSE ALOT OF DAMAGE TO CAR, AND AIRBAGS WOULD DEPLOY. CAN YOU HELP ME PLEASE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2019 CHEVROLET GRAND SPORT CORVETTE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, IN OCTOBER 2020. MY TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE MY RIGHT REAR TIRE PRESSURE HAD DROPPED PRECARIOUSLY. I HAVE RUN FLAT MICHELIN TIRES AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME SAFELY. I INFLATED MY TIRE TO 30LBS PSI AND PARKED IT IN MY GARAGE. THE NEXT DAY I CHECKED MY TIRE PRESSURE OF ALL 4 TIRES AND ONCE AGAIN MY RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS LOW. IT WOULD NOT HOLD AIR. I CALLED CRISWELL CHEVROLET WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR. THEY ASKED IF I COULD DRIVE MY CAR TO THEIR FACILITY IN MARYLAND. I LIVE IN NEW JERSY AND I DIDNT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES TO THEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE CRACKED / BENT WHEEL ISSUE AFFECTING C7 GRAND SPORT AND Z06 CORVETTES. I WAS ADVISED TO GO TO A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM INSPECT MY WHEELS. I TOOK IT TO GLOBAL CHEVROLET IN NORTH PLAINFIELD ,N.J.. UPON INSPECTION, THEY DETERMINED I HAD A CRACKED RIGHT REAR WHEEL AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.. I DID /DO NOT ABUSE MY CAR.

TOOK WHEELS AND TIRES TO A TIRE SHOP TO HAVE THE WHEELS RECONDITIONED AFTER THE SAME SHOP HAD SCRATCHED THEM DURING INSTALLATION OF NEW TIRES. MANAGER HAS ADVISED ME THAT THE WHEEL RECONDITIONING SHOP HAS TOLD HIM THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS ARE BENT AND WILL HAVE TO BE TRUED BEFORE THEY ARE REPAINTED. RECONDITIONING SHOP TOLD HIM THAT THEY SEES IT A LOT WITH CORVETTE WHEELS. LESS THEN 10K MILES ON THE CAR.

WHEELS
THE WHEELS THAT CAME WITH THE 2019 C7 ZR1 -4 WHEELS BENT MULTIPLE TIMES MAKING THE CAR UNABLE TO BALANCE ALL 4 WHEELS. THIS MAKES THE CAR VIBRATE. I BOUGHT A SECOND SET OF OEM WHEELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENING. THE DEALER WOULD NOT COVER THIS ISSUE. MY DEALER PURCHASED WHEEL PACKAGE ALSO DENIED MY CLAIM. THE CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN WITHOUT EXTREME VIBRATIONS. THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT THE CAR JUST SLOWLY BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND THE WHEELS COULD NOT BE BALANCED CORRECTLY BECAUSE OF WOBBLE IN THE WHEELS. TWO SETS OF WHEELS.

WHEELS
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE OEM WHEELS ON MY 2019 CORVETTE Z06 BENDING/WARPING/CRACKING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE SPENT MONEY HAVING THE WHEELS "STRAIGHTENED". I PAID TO REPLACE ONE WHEEL THAT WAS CRACKED AND LOST AIR PRESSURE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET/GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATE THAT IT IS A ROAD HAZARD ISSUE. I COULD BELIEVE THIS IF IT WAS ONLY 1 OR 2 WHEELS, BUT NOT ALL 4. THIS IS THE SUBJECT OF AT LEAST ONE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I SEE REPORTS OF WHEELS LOSING AIR PRESSURE. APPARENTLY A BENT WHEEL CAN FATIGUE AND CRACK CAUSING LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. THE SYMPTOMS OF THE BENT WHEEL APPEAR AS ROAD NOISE AND ARE NOT OBVIOUS TO THE EVERYDAY DRIVER.

I HAD BEEN FEELING VIBRATIONS WHILE DRIVING AFTER ONLY A FEW MONTH OF OWNERSHIP. I TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR SERVICE ON 26JULY2019 (6369 MILES) AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BRAKE ROTORS, WHICH WERE TURNED. THE PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN ON 25JAN2020 (12811 M) AND ON 12FEB2020 (13700 M). DEALER REPLACED BRAKE ROTORS BUT SMALL VIBRATIONS DID NOT GO AWAY. ON 17FEB2020 (13928 M), I HAD TIRES REPLACED IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE VIBRATIONS. VIBRATIONS BECAME STRONGER OVER TIME. ON 4NOV2020 (20678 M) I TOOK CAR TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND HAD WHEELS BALANCED. I WAS TOLD ALL FOUR WHEELS ARE OUT OF ROUND BUT R/R IS THE WORST BENT AT .025 AND THE L/R IS ALSO BENT AND CRACKED. THIS IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE THAT I DO NOT RACE OR MISTREAT. THE WHEELS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR STREET USE WITHOUT RISK OF BENDING OR BREAKING. I NOW HAVE UNSAFE WHEELS ON A HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE.

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?

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.

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.

WHEELS
BOTH REAR WHEELS ON MY 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT ARE CRACKED. ONE WHEEL HAD A CRACK REPAIRED AT AROUND 24,000 MILES BEFORE I PURCHASED IT IN JANUARY 2020. IN AUGUST 2020 AT ABOUT 28,500 MILES, ONE REAR TIRE STARTED LOSING PRESSURE. UPON INSPECTION, THE WHEEL WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. IT CRACKED AT THE SAME SPOT WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED AND AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION. THE OTHER REAR WHEEL WAS HOLDING AIR, BUT WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED AS WELL. THAT WHEEL WAS NEVER REPAIRED BEFORE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AND NO POT HOLES OR ROAD HAZARDS HIT TO CREATE THESE CRACKS. I DRIVE THE SAME WELL MAINTAINED ROADS THAT I DROVE MY 2006 CORVETTE ON FOR 120,000 MILES WITHOUT IT EVER CRACKING A WHEEL. BOTH REAR WHEELS CRACKED IN THE 4,500 MILES THAT I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR. THIS REPRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. AS OF TODAY, I WAS INFORMED THAT CHEVROLET ONLY OFFERS THE SAME CAST ALUMINUM WHEEL THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE ALSO REPORTED CRACKING OR BENDING AS A REPLACEMENT.

DANGEROUS VIBRATION AS DRIVING AND BRAKING AT 6000 MILES. AFTER DEALER CLAIMED IT WAS BRAKES, PADS AND MY BAD DRIVING, REPLACED BOTH. DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT EVEN GOT MUCH WORSE OVER THE NEXT 6000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR HELP AND FOUND THAT I HAVE 2 WARPED WHEELS. BOUGHT WHEEL AND TIRE PROTECTION PLAN AT THE TIME OF PURCHUSE BUT THEY WOULDN'T COVER THE WHEELS AS THE DAMAGE WASN'T FROM ROAD HASSARDS OR DRIVING. BUT GM WON'T COVER AS THEY SAY IT IS DRIVING AND ROAD DAMAGE. GM KNOWS OF THE WHEEL FLAWS FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT WON'T STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT.
