NHTSA Complaint #11172809 — 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

2 BENT WHEELS UNDER (BETTER THAN) NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT. GARAGE KEPT/COVERED. PRISTINE 2-YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 7000 MILES. SERVICE DEPT ALERTED ME TO THE BENDS DURING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND WHILE INVESTIGATING A PULSING PROBLEM IN THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. THE VEHICLE IS HARDLY EVER DRIVEN, HAS NEVER SEEN ROUGH ROADS/CITY STREETS/BAD WEATHER/ETC. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN "TRACKED" OR OTHERWISE ABUSED. THIS IS A "SUMMER ONLY," WEEKEND VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SCUFFS/SCRAPES/BENDS/BULGES OR OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR WHEELS. NEVER HIT ANY POTHOLE/ROAD HAZARD/DEBRIS, *EVER.* BASED ON RECENT ONLINE RESEARCH AND INFORMATION FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER, I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT THESE WHEELS WILL TOTALLY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DEFORM WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AFTER OPENING A CASE (9-5012193448) AND OVER AN HOUR ON THE PHONE, GM HAS DENIED A WARRANTY CLAIM AND WILL NOT FURTHER DISCUSS/ESCALATE THIS ISSUE. GM WOULD NOT PROVIDE A DESCRIPTION OR COPY OF THE METHOD USED TO DETERMINE "DEFECT VS.DAMAGE", OR A WRITTEN COPY OF THE EVALUATION MADE BY THE REGIONAL WARRANTY REP. GM REFUSES TO DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM, WILL NOT REPLACE/REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE WHEELS, AND WILL NOT PAY FOR A SUITABLE/COMPARABLE 3RD PARTY REPLACEMENT.
