NHTSA Complaint #11364395 — 2019 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

MY 2019 CORVETTE WAS PURCHASED ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2018. I DROVE HOME THINKING I WOULDN'T HAVE ANY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT PROBLEMS FOR SOME TIME ON THIS NEW CAR. A FEW DAYS LATER, AS I'M READING THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THERE ARE ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE PLACES IN THIS THICK MANUAL THAT SAYS MY TIRES ARE "SUMMER ONLY" TIRES, AND THAT IT COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE ON THESE TIRE IN COLD OR WET WEATHER. WELL, SUMMER ENDED ONLY ABOUT 2-3 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, SO I IMMEDIATELY FELT UNSAFE DRIVING ON THE SUMMER ONLY TIRES. I WENT TO MY TIRE STORE AND BOUGHT A SET OF ALL-WEATHER TIRES. SEE UPLOADED PHOTO 0973. I THINK IT IS UNREASONABLE FOR ALL NEW CORVETTES TO ONLY COME WITH SUMMER ONLY TIRES! NONE OF THE DEALERS I NEGOTIATED WITH FOR THIS CAR WOULD DELIVER MY CAR WITH ALL SEASON TIRES! LATER, RELATED TO MY COMPLAINT NUMBER 11364386 PERTAINING TO CORVETTE RIM DEFICIENCIES, I HAD TO PREMATURELY REPLACE EACH OF THE FOUR NEW ALL SEASON TIRES, ONE BY ONE, DUE TO RIM PROBLEMS CAUSING TIRE IRREGULARITIES WHERE THE TIRES MEETS THE RIMS. THERE WAS LOTS OF TREAD LEFT, BUT DAMAGE TO EACH OF THESE TIRES WHERE THEY CONTACTED THE OUT OF ROUND RIMS.
