THE RIGHT REAR TIRE IS LEAKING AIR. I BROUGHT IT TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD THE WHEEL IS CRACKED AND WILL NOT HOLD AIR. THE AIR LEAKS WHEN STATIONARY, MOVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

WHEELS
JUST DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF MY TIRES IS LEAKING AIR BECAUSE OF A CRACK IN THE WHEEL. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN TRACKED OR RACED AND HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN IN ROUGH CONDITIONS OR RECEIVED DAMAGE. THERE IS NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON FOR THE CRACKED WHEEL. THE WHEEL ONLY HAS ~10,000 MILES ON IT. THIS CRACK COULD LEAK TO A BLOWOUT ON THE ROAD AND IS DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, BUT GM IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE / ISSUE A RECALL. THE DEFECT IS ALSO NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTIES. THIS IS A MASSIVE SAFETY HAZARD THAT WILL EVENTUALLY SPREAD TO THE REST OF MY WHEELS (VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR WIDE BODY C7 CORVETTES).

WHEELS
I'VE HAD ALL FOUR WHEELS ON MY 2017 CHEVROLET GRAND SPORT CRACK OR BEND (TWO CRACKED (ONE WHEEL HAS THREE CRACKS), FOUR BENT). THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM: HTTPS://WWW.CORVETTEFORUM.COM/FORUMS/C7-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/4322291-C7-BENT-CRACKED-WHEEL-ROLL-CALL.HTML. I DRIVE THIS CAR INFREQUENTLY, CAREFULLY, AND ONLY ON GOOD ROADS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (BOARDWALK CHEVROLET) TO SEE IF THEY WOULD FIX THEM UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME: "THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IT HAPPENS ON *ALL* OF THEM. GM WON'T DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE THEM. WE'VE PUT IN SEVERAL CLAIMS AND THEY ALL ARE REJECTED. YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE WHEELS AT ABOUT $1000 PER WHEEL, AND IT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE DESIGN." THERE ALSO IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
