NHTSA Complaint #11288068 — 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

THE REAR TIRE ON MY GRAND SPORT STARTED LEAKING AIR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS REPAIRED. IT WAS LEAKING AGAIN THE NEXT DAY AND I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN AND I WAS AGAIN TOLD IT WAS FIXED. I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS ADVISED THE RIM HAD TWO CRACKS. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST 1,305 TO START OUT AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP. LONG STORY SHORT THEY CUT ME A DEAL ON THE REPAIRS AND REDUCED MY COST TO 620.00. I WAS NOT HAPPY BUT I LOVE THE CAR AND I HATED TO HAVE AN EXPENSIVE CAR SITTING THE GARAGE AND ON TOP OF THAT UNRELIABLE. I GAVE IN AND PAID THE 620.00 BUCKS AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IT HAPPENING AGAIN OR TOO ONE OF THE OTHER RIMS. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN CHEVROLET. MY FRIEND IS AN EX SHERIFF AND TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IF A RIM IS CRACKED HE HAS SEEN NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS WHERE THE RIM DISINTEGRATES ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. ALL FOUR RIMS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHEVROLET UNDER THE WARRANTY.
