WHEELS
TIRE SLOWLY LOST PRESSURE OVER SEVERAL WEEKS, EVENTUALLY LOSING 2-3 PSI/DAY. NO ISSUES FOUND WITH TIRE, BUT RIM WAS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES, STARTING AT EDGE OF INNER LIP AND EXTENDING INTO THE BARREL. CRACKS WERE ROUGHLY 1-2 INCHES IN LENGTH. NO MAJOR IMPACTS TO THE TIRE/RIM. DAILY DRIVER WITH ZERO TRACK USE. I HAVE TWO SETS OF THESE RIMS, ONE FOR SUMMER, ONE FOR WINTER. THIS WAS THE SUMMER SET WITH THE STOCK RUN-FLAT TIRE (VERY STIFF SIDEWALL, WHICH MAY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR), SO MILEAGE ON THESE IS ROUGHLY HALF OF TOTAL CAR MILEAGE.

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V060000 (STEERING). AFTER THE REPAIR, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED, INDICATING TO REMOVE THE KEY AFTER TEN SECONDS. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED BY PAPE CHEVROLET GEO (370 OAKWOOD RD, HUNTINGTON STATION, NY, (631) 427-0900), BUT WAS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROBERT CHEVROLET (236 S BROADWAY, HICKSVILLE, NY 11801, (888) 619-7642) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REMEDY FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT SOLUTION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR 15 YEARS AGO SHOULD HAVE PROVIDED A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA02031 (STEERING); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

WHEELS
THE RIGHT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR RIMS ON MY CORVETTE ARE BENT AND I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LESS THAN 3 YEARS. I HAVE OTHER CARS THAT ARE MUCH OLDER AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BENT RIM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE WIDE RIMS ON THIS CAR AND THE Z06 SINCE THE WHEEL BARRELS ARE VERY WIDE AND HAVE NO SUPPORT BY WAY OF THE SPOKES AT THE FAR EDGE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE ACTIVE SUSPENSION WILL EITHER ACTIVATE OR FORCE A DIC MESSAGE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM." SOMETIMES, THIS OCCURS SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH ABS ACTIVATION OF THE BRAKES. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO DRIVE INTO HEAD- ON LANES, OR FORCED ME TO STOP IN MOVING TRAFFIC WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. IT SEEMS WORSE IN COLD OR WET WEATHER. RESTARTING THE CAR WILL RESET THE DISPLAY.

WHEELS
HI, I HAVE A 2018 CORVETTE (GRAND SPORT). I HAVE APROX 8000 MILES AND BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE TO A LOCAL GM DEALER(BILL BUCK CHEVROLET). THEY TOLD ME ONE OF MY REAR WHEELS IS BENT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY CAN'T GET ME A REPLACEMENT (THEY DON'T KNOW WHY) AND MY CAR HAS BEEN THERE FOR TWO WEEKS. I HAVE A CASE OPEN WITH GM, BUT SO FAR HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY HELP FROM THEM. I AM SHOCKED THAT MY WHEEL IS BENT AS THERE ARE NO POT HOLES AROUND AND I ONLY DRIVE AROUND TOWN AND DO NOT RACE OR EVER RAN OVER ANYTHING, ETC. I HAVE HEARD A LOT OF OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR WHEELS BENT OR CRACKED AS WELL, SO FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I FELT THE NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS. THANK YOU.

WHEELS
I DISCOVERED MY RIM WAS CRACKED AFTER HAVING THE WHEEL/TIRE INSPECTED FOR A CONSISTENT SLOW LEAK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THINKING THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR (FROM THE DEALER) THAT NOT ONLY WAS ONE RIM CRACKED, BUT ANOTHER TWO (2) WERE BENT. THE THEN ADVISED ME THAT GM WOULD NOT COVER THIS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. 2017 GRAND SPORT 18K MILES

FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY AFTER HITTING A BUMP AND 2ND GOING ABOUT 40MPH. BOTH TIMES DRIVING STRAIGHT. AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND ON THE MESSAGE WAS GONE.
