WHEELS
IN UNDER 15000 MILES THIS CRACK WAS FOUND AT A TIRE REPLACEMENT. I'M GLAD IT WAS CAUGHT BEFORE ANY KIND OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE WHEEL WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE THERE WERE NO OTHER SIGNS OF DAMAGE, ABUSE, OR BENDING.

WHEELS
WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD AROUND 14K MILES ON IT MY REAR TIRES WE WORN BAD.SO I REPLACED BOTH REARS.THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME TO COME LOOK AT THE 2 BENT RIMS I HAVE.I ASKED IF HE COULD BALANCE THEM.HE DID THE BEST HE COULD.I HAVE A BAD VIBRATION WHEN PASSING AT H WAY SPEED AND AFTER A NEW ALIGNMENT THE CAR WONDERS ALOT.COST OF 2 NEW RIMS AND BEING UNAVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT HAS PUT SAFTEY IN THE BACKSEAT. I AM VERY CAREFUL DRIVING TO AVOID POT HOLES AND PAVEMENT IMPERFECTIONS.REPORTS OF THESE RIMS CRACKING.HOPEFULLY NO ONE GETS KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE.GM WILL NOT HONOR ANY REPLACEMENTS EVEN IF YOU HAD 100 MILES ON VEHICLE.VERY POOR DESIGN TO PASS FOR USA STANDARDS RIMS ARE POORLY DESIGNED AND DEEMED UNSAFE. I BET MY FRONTS ARE BENT TOO? WHEN MY TIRES NEED REPLACING THEY WILL BE CHECKED

WHEELS
2017 OEM CORVETTE GRAND SPORT WHEELS ARE UNSAFE DUE TO SOFT MATERIAL. I HAVE HAD 3 BENT WHEELS STRAIGHTENED LAST YEAR, AND NOW I HAVE 1 BENT REAR WHEEL AND 1 CRACKED REAR WHEEL. CHEVROLET IS NOT CORRECTING THIS SITUATION UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE A SECONDARY TIRE AND WHEEL CONTRACT THAT I BOUGHT FROM MY DEALER. THE PROVIDER IS STATING THAT THEY WILL ONLY PAY TO A MAXIMUM OF $600 IN CLAIMS FOR WHEEL REPAIR, UNLESS THE WHEELS/TIRES STOP HOLDING AIR. THIS IS GM'S PROBLEM TO FIX.

WHEELS
MY CAR HAS ALMOST 2000 MILES ON IT. I HAD A SLIGHT VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER EXPECTING A WHEEL BALANCE PROBLEM BUT FOUND OUT THAT I HAD 3 BENT WHEELS. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CORVETTE. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN, STRENGTH, ISSUE WITH THE WHEELS. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR I CAN'T REMEMBER HITTING ANYTHING THAT WOULD BEND 3 WHEELS. I DON'T ABUSE THE CAR. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER GETTING NO SATISFACTION. THEY TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. I ALSO WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM VERY LEARY ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR. GM SHOULD BEAR SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITY.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. SEEMS TO ME ITS COULD BE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL, CAUSE IT DOESN'T STAY ON ALL THE TIME. SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BUT I'M THE 4TH OWNER OF THIS CORVETTE SO DONT KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND IT NEVER GOT FIXED. THANKS. IT COMES ON AND NO SET PATTERN FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T COME ON FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON.

WHEELS
MY GRAND SPORT HAS MULTIPLE WHEEL ISSUES, SAFETY ISSUES. THE WHEELS ARE PRONE TO CRACKING AND BENDING. HAPPENS OFTEN, TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK ON 2 DIFFERENT WHEELS, TIRES GO FLAT, WHEEL HAS TO BE WELDED OR REPLACED EACH INCIDENT. TIRES ARE NOT CAPABLE OF REINSTALLING MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SAFETY. GM DOES NOT WANT TO WARRANTY THIS SITUATION, COSTING ME HOURS OF LOST WORK, INABILITY TO TRUST THE CAR FOR REGULAR OR PLEASURE DRIVING AND COSTING ME THOUSANDS $. NOW, GM HAS A MULTI MONTH BACK ORDER ON REPLACEMENT WHEELS (AT MY COST) AND THIS CAR HAS NO SPARE AS THESE ARE RUN FLAT TIRES. SO CAR BECOMES USELESS AND UNSAFE. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE 'THOUSANDS' OF SIMILAR OWNER SITUATIONS ACCORDING TO CAPSTONE LAW FIRM WANTING TO ENLIST ME IN A CLASS ACTION. I PREFER A GM SWIFT AND FAIR SOLUTION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE CAR AND FOR THE WAY THEY ARE TREATING US. DENYING ANY ISSUES. I DON'T TRACK OR RACE MY CAR, I'M AN OLDER DRIVER WHO ENJOYS DRIVING AND LIVE IN LOS ANGELES WHERE I DRIVE 50 MILES R/T DAILY TO WORK AT A WHOPPING SPEED OF MAYBE 20 MPH DUE TO TRAFFIC ON THE 101 FWY.

WHEELS
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT NIGHT, I HIT A POT HOLE WITH THE RIGHT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR TIRE. AFTER STRIKING THE HOLE AN IMMEDIATE VIBRATION THROUGH OUT THE CAR STARTED. NEXT DAY I RAISE THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS OFF THE FLOOR AND SPUN THE WHEELS WITH A BOARD NEXT TO THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. BOTH WHEELS WHEN TURNING WOBBLE AGAINST THE BOARD INDICATING A BENT RIM.

WHEELS
I HAVE A NEW 2019 Z 06 CORVETTE PURCHASED NEW BY MYSELF. I HAVE 2400 MILES ON IT AND NOTICED A VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO HAVE TIRES BALANCED AND WAS TOLD MY RIGHT FRONT AND REAR RIMS WERE BENT AND IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS THEY WILL LIKELY SPLIT IF I KEEP DRIVING ON THEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED! THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY RIMS WITH SAME PROBLEM TO BE JUST TO DRIVERS FAULT FROM HITTING A POTHOLE. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE OWNED THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED 5 OTHER LATE MODEL CORVETTES AND PUT A LOT OF MILES ON THEM WITH NO WHEEL PROBLEMS ON THESE SAME ROADS. I HAVE A 2016 CAMARO WITH FACTORY RIMS AS WELL WITH 15K MILES ON IT AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM EITHER. I HAVE A 2018 XT5 CADILLAC AS WELL WITH NO WHEEL ISSUES. ALL ON SAME ROADS DAILY. IT IS NOT JUST COINCIDENTAL THAT THESE WHEELS ARE FAILING FOR ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS. ARE WE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE HAS A WHEEL FAILURE AND CRASHES AND DIES BEFORE WE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? EVEN LOSING AIR IN THE TIRE AND SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAITING FOR ROAD SERVICE CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR GM NOT TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM NOW BEFORE ANYONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT! PLEASE DO SOMETHING NOW!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE CABIN AREA AND IN THE TRUNK AFTER FILLING THE CORVETTE WITH GASOLINE. THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WAS AT IT'S STRONGEST SCENT WHEN THE DECK LID WAS OPEN. I STOOD ON THE REAR RIGHT OF THE CORVETTE WITH MY HEAD BARELY INSIDE THE TRUNK. SO BASICALLY REAR RIGHT SECTOR OF THE CORVETTE, JUST PASSED THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL WELL. THE CORVETTE WAS PARKED ON A LEVEL CONCRETE PAD AT THE GAS STATION. I DID NOT OVERFILL. PUMP NOZZLE STOPPED. APPROXIMATELY 14.6 GALLONS OF FUEL WAS PUMPED INTO THE CORVETTE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, MY DEALER OR TIRE SHOP HAVE FOUND CRACKED OR SEVERELY BENT WHEELS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE SEVERAL OF THEM OUT-OF-POCKET AT A COST OF NEARLY $1000 PER WHEEL. THERE WAS USUALLY NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM BESIDES A SLOW AIR LEAK. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN GREAT CARE TO AVOID POTHOLES AND LARGE BUMPS.
