NHTSA Complaint #11206828 — 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW APRIL 2017 LAST YEAR THE REAR WHEELS WERE LEAKING AIR AND UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THE INNER RIM WAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENING TO PASSENGER SIDE REAR. WITHIN 6 MONTHS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE REAR RIM THIS HAD ONE CRACK UPON INSPECTION AND TAKING IT TO DEALER WHO WOULD SAY THAT IT'S DRIVER DRIVING HABITS AND ROAD CONDITIONS THAT IS THE CAUSE. DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT THE DEALER SERVICE AGENTS SAID THAT IT IS COMMON AND THEY GET A LOT OF THEM. THE ISSUE IS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE REPORTING IT OR KNOW THE PROCESS TO REPORT IT SO THE MANUFACTURER (GM) CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE PHOTOS OF THE WHEEL WITH THE 7 CRACKS AND SEND IT TO GM CORPORATE DID I GET ASSISTANCE FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE WHEELS. MY CONCERN NOW IS THE WHEELS THAT ARE ON IT NOW. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I FEAR HAS DEFECTIVE UNSAFE WHEELS THAT CAN POSSIBLY CRACK AND FALL APART LIKE GLASS. I AM ATTACHING PHOTOS THAT SHOW THE WHEEL WITH THE SEVERAL CRACKS. CONFIRMATION OF ACTUAL DATES CAN BE OBTAINED UPON REQUEST.
