Consumer Description

I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE NEW WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED IN THE SPRING OF 2019. SINCE THIS TIME, I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 11000 ISSUE FREE MILES. AS OF 2 WEEKS AGO, I HAD ALL FOUR TIRES REPLACED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. A FEW DAYS AFTER, I NOTED THAT THERE WAS A SLOW TIRE PRESSURE LEAK IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE 2 LARGE CRACKS IN THAT WHEEL, CAUSING THE LEAK. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE INSPECTED THE REMAINING 3 WHEELS TO FIND THAT THE OTHER REAR WHEEL ALSO HAD A CRACK. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY IMPACT TO THE WHEELS (POTHOLES, DEBRIS IMPACT, ETC.), THAT WOULD HAVE EVER INDICATED TO ME TO CHECK FOR DAMAGE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WORKMANSHIP ISSUE FROM CHEVROLET THAT COULD HAVE SEVERE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS IF IT WERE TO TAIL CATASTROPHICALLY AT SPEED.
