NHTSA Complaint #11233550 — 2019 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

7/11/19 - TRAVELLING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH APPROXIMATELY 1700 MILES ON A 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT I STARTED TO NOTICE A VIBRATION WHILE TRAVELLING AROUND 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 3000 MILES ON IT AND THE VIBRATION HAS BECOME WORSE SO THAT IT IS NOTICEABLE AT ANY SPEED. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. LOOKING AT THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT SMOOTH ROAD IT IS POSSIBLE TO WATCH THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE. ON A LONG ROAD TRIP THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO STARTED TO CAUSE NUMBNESS IN MY HANDS. 7/15/19 - MY FIRST COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO HAVE THE WHEELS CHECKED FOR BALANCE, SHIFTED OR BROKEN BELT IN THE TIRE. THE TIRE REPAIR FACILITY SAID THE BALANCE AND TIRES LOOKED GOOD. (NO CHARGE) 7/18/19 - NEXT STEP WAS TO HAVE THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED. AFTER A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT THE VIBRATION PERSISTED. (RECEIPT IS CURRENTLY IN VEHICLE AT DEALERSHIP) 7/19/19 - NEXT I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT ALL SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS ARE GOOD, BUT ALL 4 WHEELS ARE BENT. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR WHEELS FROM AN OUTSIDE OBJECT SUCH AS A CURB OR ROAD DEBRIS. (DEALERSHIP IS TO BE COMPLETING DOCUMENTATION ON 7/22/19 REGARDING POSSIBLE WARRANTY AND SAFETY CONCERN COMMUNICATION TO GENERAL MOTORS) MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VIBRATION WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE AND CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT. *TR COMPLAINT DOES NOT MATCH CARFAX VEHICLE INFO. *JB
