NHTSA Complaint #11138765 — 2018 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

BOUGHT THE CAR APRIL 7TH 2018 WITHIN 500 MILES NOTICED A BAD VIBRATION, RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEPT IT FOR A MONTH DISCOVERING THE LEFT REAR WHEEL WAS OUT OF ROUND /BENT WITH NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. THEY REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS WITHIN A WEEK OF DELIVERY. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER THE CAR AT AROUND 4000 MILES DEVELOPED ANOTHER BAD VIBRATION. I TOOK IT TO TIRE DISCOUNTERS WHICH WAS MUCH CLOSER THAN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME BOTH LEFT SIDE WHEELS WERE OUT OF ROUND WITH NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE THESE DUE TO THE MILES ON THE CAR. I KNOW PEOPLE WITH THESE GRAND SPORT AND Z06 CORVETTES THAT HAVE HAD THESE SAME ISSUES WITH THE WHEELS. THE CORVETTE FORUMS ARE FULL OF SIMILAR STORIES. THESE WHEELS ARE TOO WEAK FOR THESE CARS AND NEED TO BE REPLACED
