NHTSA Complaint #11246119 — 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

ON JULY 24, 2019 I STARTED MY 2017 C-7 GRAND SPORT CORVETTE AND NOTICED A RIGHT REAR TIRE LOW PRESSURE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND DECIDED TO LEAVE IT IN THE GARAGE AND USE ONE OF MY OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO SERVICE THE TIRE AT THAT TIME. THE CAR HAS REMAINED PARKED DUE TO VACATION AND WORK SINCE THEN. TODAY, AUGUST 23, 2019 I CHECKED THE TIRE AND IT HAD ZERO PRESSURE. I REMOVED THE WHEEL AND NOTICED TWO CRACKS ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE WHEEL. I SPRAYED SOME SOAPY WATER AND VERIFIED THAT THE WHEEL IS LEAKING AIR FROM ONE OF THE CRACKS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO SEE HOW TO GO ABOUT CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS AND NOTICED MULTIPLE ONLINE COMPLAINTS TO INCLUDE A CHEVROLET CORVETTE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BY PLAINTIFF FILED ON 04/30/19 WHICH CLAIMS WHEELS EASILY BEND AND CRACK. I WILL CALL A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO INQUIRE ABOUT REPLACEMENT BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK PROMISING BASED ON EVERYTHING I'VE READ ON LINE. MY VEHICLE HAS 10,264 MILES AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
