NHTSA Complaint #11319130 — 2019 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

I PURCHASED MY CAR AS NEW FROM F.H. DAILEY (1ST TITLE WITH WARRANTY ON "CAPTURED TEST FLEET"). AS I DROVE HOME I REALIZED A LOT OF VIBRATION AND TRACKING ISSUES WITH THE CAR. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK THE CAR TO COSTCO TO AIR UP THE TIRES. ALL PRESSURES WERE DIFFERENT AND FAR OFF THE REQUIRED 30 COLD PSI. I NOTICED THE BALANCING WEIGHTS WERE MISSING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ABEL CHEVROLET TO CHECK THE WHEELS FOR SAFETY, AND IT WAS DISCOVERED ALL (4) WHEELS WERE BENT AND COULD NOT BE TRUE BALANCED. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM REFUSED TO REPLACE THESE WHEELS, WHICH PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE ON A HIGH PERFORMANCE ZR1 CORVETTE. 3339 MILES HAD BEEN PLACED ON THIS VEHICLE, AS EXECUTIVE VALIDATION BUILT,CORVETTE. ABEL CHEVROLET DETERMINED THAT THE CORVETTE WAS LIKELY "TRACKED" , CAUSING THE BENT RIMS/WHEELS, DAMAGED BY THE RAISED APEX(S) OF THE TRACK SURFACE. I ATTACHED THE SERVICE INVOICE WITH TECHNICIAN OBSERVATIONS. IT WAS DEMONSTRATED TO ME, THE IRREGULAR GYRATION OF THE WHEELS ON THE BALANCING MACHINE. ABEL CHEVROLET IS A CORVETTE CENTRIC SERVICE CENTER FOR GM VEHICLES.
