I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 CORVETTE Z06 BACK IN FEBRUARY 2019. AS OF SEPT 07, 2019 I HAD APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH WERE HIGHWAY MILES FROM A ROAD TRIP BETWEEN MI AND THE EAST COAST. I GOT AN UNEXPECTED "LOW TIRE PRESSURE" MESSAGE ON MY IP WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH ROAD. I AIRED UP THE TIRE AND INSPECTED IT FOR A PUNCTURE BUT FOUND NOTHING. USING SOAPY WATER, I DETERMINED I WAS LEAKING AROUND THE INNER SIDE OF THE RIM. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE TO FIND THE ALUMINUM DIE CAST RIM HAD A SIGNIFICANT CRACK IN IT RESULTING IN THE LEAK. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THE CONDITION, WITH PICTURES, TO THEIR WARRANTY OFFICE WHO ASKED FOR ADDITIONAL MEASUREMENTS TO DETERMINE IF THE TIRE WAS OUT OF ROUND WHICH I AM SURE THEY WERE HOPING TO ATTRIBUTE TO SOME SORT OF ABUSE. I UNDERSTAND THE RESULTS TO HAVE BEEN WITHIN GM SPECIFICATION WHICH IS NO SURPRISE AS I DRIVE THIS CAR VERY CAREFULLY AND AVOID ROUGH ROADS. GM HAS SINCE RESPONDED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS UNDER THEIR 3YR/36K MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I DID AN ODI SEARCH FOR THIS CONDITION AND THERE ARE SOME100+ COMPLAINTS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN AND GM NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THIS AND RECALL THESE RIMS BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED. I AM BESIDE MYSELF THAT GM WOULD TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS THIS WAY, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THESE VEHICLES PRICE OUT NEAR $90,000. I HAVE ORDERED A NEW RIM WHICH I AM INFORMED WILL COST ~$1,100 ONCE INSTALLED. SINCE THE RIM IS BEING REPLACED WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, I CAN ONLY EXPECT THE LIKELIHOOD OF ANOTHER INCIDENT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GM AND WILL NOT BE BUYING ANY FUTURE CORVETTES!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. WHILE WASHING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS MISSING A WHEEL WEIGHT. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO BACHMAN CHEVROLET (9650 BLUEGRASS PKWY, LOUISVILLE, KY 40299, (502) 499-6161) WHERE THEY ASSURED HIM THAT THE WHEEL WAS BALANCED; HOWEVER, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE HAD A BENT RIM. UPON RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT A BENT RIM COULD RESULT IN THE RIM CRACKING OVER TIME WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS, WHICH COULD ULTIMATELY LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFUSED TO PURCHASE A NEW RIM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,400. *JB

MY TIRE ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE HAD A LEAK SO WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND A CRACK IN THE RIM. WE PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND WAITED FOR THE NEW RIM. THE CAR DID NOT MOVE UNTIL I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. WHEN THEY TOOK THE RIM OFF THEY CHECKED ALL THE OTHER TIRES AND FOUND THE REAR DRIVERS RIM WAS CRACKED IN 4 PLACES AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD AN OTHER CRACK. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT IN THE RIMS. GM WILL NOT COVER THE EXPENSE AND THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. WE HAD PLANNED ON TAKING THE CAR ON VACATION TO YELLOWSTONE. I ASKED THE DEALER WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND HE SAID WE WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT AND I WOULD NOT BE STANDING THERE TALKING TO THEM. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRES. THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE GARAGE NOT MOVING BECAUSE WE WERE ON VACATION IN YELLOWSTONE.

7/11/19 - TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH APPROXIMATELY 1700 MILES ON A 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT I STARTED TO NOTICE A VIBRATION WHILE TRAVELLING AROUND 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 3000 MILES ON IT AND THE VIBRATION HAS BECOME WORSE SO THAT IT IS NOTICEABLE AT ANY SPEED. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. LOOKING AT THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT SMOOTH ROAD IT IS POSSIBLE TO WATCH THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE. ON A LONG ROAD TRIP THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO STARTED TO CAUSE NUMBNESS IN MY HANDS. 7/15/19 - MY FIRST COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO HAVE THE WHEELS CHECKED FOR BALANCE, SHIFTED OR BROKEN BELT IN THE TIRE. THE TIRE REPAIR FACILITY SAID THE BALANCE AND TIRES LOOKED GOOD. (NO CHARGE) 7/18/19 - NEXT STEP WAS TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED. AFTER A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT THE VIBRATION PERSISTED. (RECEIPT IS CURRENTLY IN VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP) 7/19/19 - NEXT I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT ALL SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS ARE GOOD, BUT ALL 4 WHEELS ARE BENT. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR WHEELS FROM AN OUTSIDE OBJECT SUCH AS A CURB OR ROAD DEBRIS. (DEALERSHIP IS TO BE COMPLETING DOCUMENTATION ON 7/22/19 REGARDING POSSIBLE WARRANTY AND SAFETY CONCERN COMMUNICATION TO GENERAL MOTORS) MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VIBRATION WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE AND CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT. *TR COMPLAINT DOES NOT MATCH CARFAX VEHICLE INFO. *JB

AFTER JUST 3,910 MILES THE TIRES WERE WORN PAST THE POINT OF INSPECTION. GM HAS SAID THIS IS NORMAL WEAR, IF NOT FOR THE ANNUAL INSPECTION STICKER I WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN THESE TIRES A SECOND THOUGHT. TIRES WORN OUT IN JUST 3,910 MILES IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND TO THINK THAT 3-4 SETS OF TIRES ANNUALLY FOR SOMEONE WHO WOULD DRIVE THIS TO WORK DAILY IS JUST RIDICULOUS.HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER INSTALL SUCH A TIRE ON A STREET DRIVEN AUTOMOBILE? THERE IS NO WARNING THAT THESE TIRES PREMATURELY WEAR ON THE SALES LITERATURE OR INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALER.

STEERING
LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST AT 198, 213, 268, 305, AND 314 MILES. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW ON JUNE 29, 2019 AND NOW HAS 322 MILES ON IT. INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH, ON A HIGHWAY CURVE AT 55 MPH, ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT 25 MPH, AND COMING TO A STOP IN A TURN LANE. DEALER I WENT TO AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE RESET THE CODE (CO47A) AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD RETURN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT. SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS ON GM RECALL N182182760 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 19V086000

CAR SAT STILL FOR THREE DAYS AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE IT, THE COMPUTER TOLD ME THAT MY LEFT REAR TIRE WAS DEFLATED TO ONLY 14 PSI INSTEAD OF 30 PSI. THEY ARE RUN FLAT TIRES, SO YOU CAN'T TELL IF THEY ARE FLAT. TOOK IT TO A CORVETTE MECHANIC AND WHEN HE REMOVED THE WHEEL, HE FOUND A GOOD SIZE CRACK IN THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL AND AIR WAS LEAKING FROM THAT CRACK. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER AFTER I FILLED IT BACK TO 30 PSI AND ORDERED A NEW WHEEL. THIS MORNING I CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND THE PSI IS DOWN TO 20 OVERNIGHT. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES OR RACED THE CAR. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL OR TIRE.

SECOND TIME IN 3 MONTHS THAT THE RIMS HAVE BENT WHILE DRIVING. I HAD A 2017 CHEVY CORVETTE WHICH WAS REPURCHASED DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME CAR HAD 600 MILES AND 2 RIMS BENT WHEN ENCOUNTERING A POTHOLE. THIS TIME, CAR NOT REPAIRED YET, HAS 1100 MILES AND ANOTHER RIM BENT DRIVING. THE SLIGHTEST IMPERFECTION IN THE ROADWAY CAUSES THESE RIMS TO BEND. I BELIEVE THESE RIMS ARE BEING MANUFACTURED POORLY. BOTH TIMES I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY.
