Consumer Description
NORMAL DRIVING CAUSED MAJOR/MINOR CRACKS IN 2 RIMS WITH MODERATE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE OVER COURSE OF ONLY A FEW MILES REQUIRING IMMEDIATE EXIT FROM HIGHWAY TO ADDRESS UNSAFE CONDITION OF CAR. MILEAGE OF ONLY 18693 ON THE CAR AS OF 6/11/2020. NO COVERAGE PER GM EVEN UNDER NEW CAR 3 YEAR/36000 MILE WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED. COST TO ME OF $1501.30. PICTURES OF CRACKS AVAILABLE AS ARE THE ACTUAL RIMS (TIRE SERVICE SAID THEY'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN 40 YEARS). LAWSUITS PENDING AGAINST GM CURRENTLY (CLASS ACTION). WHEN THEY DEBUTED THE 2017 GRAND SPORT MODEL ON A 40000 MILE TEST RUN THEY HAD A TOTAL OF 10 CRACKED OR BENT RIMS DUE TO POOR RIM CONSTRUCTION. I FEAR THAT I'LL LOSE A RIM, PUNCTURE A TIRE AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT.
