Most Recent Complaints
Driving this vehicle yesterday, the power steering assist failed. Fortunately, I was traveling at a low speed at the time. A message appeared on the dash telling me there was a power steering issue and to drive cautiously. I can make this vehicle available for inspection upon request. I have not yet taken the vehicle to the dealer; nor had it inspected by any other party. The message in the dash did not appear until the component had failed.
Noticed one wheel kept leaking down slowly. After a couple of weeks of filling the air in the tires, it was down near the warning pressure again on one rear wheel. Decided to remove the wheel to inspect the cause of the leak. Upon removal of the wheel, there were two noticeable cracks on the inner bead diameter of the wheel. I know this has been a big issue for all the C7 GS corvettes, because this is my 4th C7 GS with the same issue. All my previous C7 GS have had all the factory rear wheels to crack. I don't understand why there has not been a recall since every C7 GS I've owned had this same issue on all the rear wheels. I typically do my own repairs unless they are covered under warrant. I have worked on automobiles for over 35 years in my personal garage and it has become an expectation that any C7 GS or Z06 with a rear tire leaking is caused by a cracked wheel. Have contacted Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet in Charlotte NC about the cracked wheel before deciding repair method that will be taken.
Rear tire leaking air, took it to shop and they stated i have a one inch crack in my wheel
Cracks found on 3 of 4 wheels when the wheels were off for cleaning. Cracks are on 2 front wheels and 1 rear. Cracks are located on the inner edge of the barrel, and extend up the edge, then about 0.5 to 1.0in toward the centerline of the wheel. Further cracking could cause loss of air pressure.
my car is constantly having issues with hard shift in the transmission. also the wheels on this car is not structure properly. if you drive the car hire a speed there's a chance will could crack
