2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Wheels Problems

ALL 4 OEM FACTORY WHEELS ARE BENT. ADDITIONALLY, IN 2018 ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS WAS BENT. IT ULTIMATELY CRACKED AND WOULD NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN "TRACKED" OR DRIVEN ON ROADS OR STREETS WITH LARGE POTHOLES.

CRACKED RIM ON 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT

BOTH REAR WHEELS HAVE CRACKED!!! GM REFUSED TO COVER VIA THEIR "BUMPER-TO-BUMPER" WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THE 2017 CORVETTES THAT HAVE SUFFERED THIS SERIOUS, DANGEROUS PROBLEM! THESE WHEELS (MADE IN CHINA????) NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY GM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! NOTE THIS IS THE 2ND WHEEL PROBLEM WITH THESE WHEELS. THE OTHER REAR WHEEL CRACKED BACK ON 6/1/2019.

BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALER FOR A RECALL. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, I WAS TOLD, AND THE INVOICE EVIDENCES IT, THAT I HAD THREE BENT WHEELS AND ONE CRACKED WHEEL. I DRIVE PRIMARILY ON HIGHWAY ROADS AND DON'T RECALL HITTING ANY POTHOLES. I DON'T TRACK THE CAR. THE ORIGINAL FACTORY TIRES ARE STILL ON THE CAR (TIRE LIFE IS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND 10,000 MILES) AND CURRENTLY HAVE 13,000 MILES ON THEM. THERE IS STILL DECENT TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES WHICH PROVES THAT THERE IS NO AGGRESSIVE DRIVING. I'VE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FROM MY DEALER. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE CORVETTE C7 FORUM ABOUT THE 2016 Z06 AND 2017-19 Z06 AND GRAND SPORT WHEELS HAVING BENT AND CRACKED WHEELS, MANY WITH LESS THAN 1,000 MILES ON THE CAR. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE IN SPITE OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AGAINST...

MY 2017 ZO6 HAS APPROXIMATELY TEN THOUSAND MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST YEAR I'VE HAD MY TIRES BALANCED MANY TIMES TO TRY TO FIX A VIBRATION. I TOOK IT TO A WHEEL SPECIALIST ONLY TO FIND ALL FOUR OF MY RIMS ARE NOT ROUND, THEY ARE ALL BENT. MY 3 YEAR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND GM WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO A TIRE COMPANY FOUND A CRACK IN ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS OF MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT. THE CRACK WAS PERPENDICULAR ACROSS THE INSIDE RIM OF THE WHEEL WHERE THE TIRE BEAD MEETS THE WHEEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER WHO EXAMINED THE WHEELS AND FOUND ANOTHER IDENTICAL CRACK IN THE OTHER REAR WHEEL. OTHER THAN THE CRACKS, THE WHEELS WERE UNMARRED. WHILE CLEANING MY WHEELS, I NOTICED ANOTHER IDENTICAL CRACK IN THE IDENTICAL LOCATION ON ONE OF MY REPLACED REAR WHEELS. THE WHEEL WAS OTHERWISE UNMARRED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVROLET DEALER, WHO TOOK PHOTOS AND SENT THEM TO GM FOR WARRANTY REPLACEMENT APPROVAL. GM DECLINED TO COVER THE WHEEL UNDER WARRANTY. I APPEALED THE DENIAL WHICH WAS GIVEN GM CASE [XXX]. THE APPEAL WAS DENIED. I ASKED THAT IT BE ESCALATED AND THAT ESCALATED APPEAL WAS...

TOOK CAR TO LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER WITH A VIBRATION - 7/16/2019 - RECEIVED A CALL BACK THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS ARE BENT, CAR HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN BABIED IT'S WHOLE LIFE. THEY QUOTED COST TO REPLACE, SAID THE FACTORY WHEELS ARE NOT COVERED.

THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 10K MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MONITOR FOR THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY WENT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE WHEEL HAD A CRACK IN IT; WOULD NEED A NEW WHEEL. WAS TOLD WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH FOR THE PART TO COME IN; IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING, COULD NOT WAIT A MONTH. FOUND A RIM REPAIR SHOP THAT REPAIRED THE CRACK AND ALSO NOTED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WAS BENT. THE REPAIR SHOP FIXED BOTH PROBLEMS OR SO I THOUGHT. WAS TRAVELING TO MY NEW WORK DESTINATION AND THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE SENSOR LIGHT CAME BACK ON. FOUND ANOTHER RIM REPAIR SHOP WHO TOLD ME THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE - THE WHEEL HAD OTHER CRACKS IN IT. HAD TO ORDER A NEW WHEEL FROM A...

CRACK IN BOTH REAR WHEELS DUE TO VEHICLE VIBRATION.

BOTH REAR RIMS HAVE CRACKS IN THEM. THE LEFT REAR RIM HAS 3 1" CRACKS ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE RIM, THE RIGHT SIDE HAS 2 1" CRACKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE RIM. THE CAR HAS 13,000 MILES ON IT.. THE CRACKS CAUSE THE TIRES TO LOSE AIR. THE RIMS ARE NOT REPAIRABLE AND GM REFUSES TO WARRANT THE DEFECTIVE RIMS. THE DAMAGE OCCURRED IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS CAR IS STORED IN THE WINTER MONTHS AND IS NOT DRIVEN FOR 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. I HAD A TIRE GAUGE INDICATE THAT MY RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS DOWN TO 24LBS. I PUMPED UP THE TIRE AND WATCHED IF FOR A COULPE OF DAYS. IT CONTINUED TO LOOSE AIR PRESSURE SO I TOOK IT TO A QUALIFIED TIRE DEALERSHIP THINKING I HAD A PUNCTURED TIRE. THE SHOP NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TIRE WAS FINE BUT THAT THE RIM...

CRACKED RIGHT REAR WHEEL ON HIGHWAY WITH ROAD REPAIRS IN PROCESS. NO DAMAGE TO THE TIRE WHEN INSPECTED BY DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY. WHEEL WAS LEAKING AIR FROM THE INSIDE FLANGE OF THE WHEEL. THE CRACK OR FRACTURE WAS VERY VISIBLE. CONTACTED GM EXECUTIVE OFFICE VIA EMAIL AND THEIR INVESTIGATION THROUGH THE DEALER INDICATED IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD ISSUE. BOB HOOK CHEVROLET IN LOUISVILLE, KY WAS THE SERVICING DEALER. INVOICE [XXX] DATED 30TH APRIL 19. PHONE NUMBER 502.499.0800 COST OF REPLACING BROKEN WHEEL WAS $883.78. THE CAR RESIDES AT MY ADDRESS IN TEXAS. WAS PURCHASED FROM RELIABLE CHEVROLET IN RICHARDSON, TX WHO IMPLIED THE WHEEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING GM HAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT ON GRAND SPORT AND Z06 MODELS AS THEY BOTH USE THE SAME WHEELS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

LEFT REAR WHEEL CRACKED AFTER 10,500 MILES. ONLY APPARENT SYMPTOM WAS A SLOW LEAK IN THE TIRE. ALL MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES WITH NO TRACK DAYS. TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVROLET DEALER FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WHEEL WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO GIVEN A LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT THIS WAS THE OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY.

WHEEL IS CRACKED, AND THE TIRE WILL NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE. DO NOT KNOW IF WHEEL WAS IN MOTION, OR, IF WHEEL WAS CRACKED BY COLD TEMPERATURE, AS VEHICLE IS STORED IN AN UNHEATED GARAGE DURING WINTER.

MY REAR TIRE STARTED LEAKING AIR, SO I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WAS CRACK. I HARDLY DRIVE MY CAR, AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY $650 FOR ANOTHER WHEEL, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

I BEGAN EXPERIENCING MODERATE BUT WORSENING WHEEL SHAKING APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO AND TOOK CAR TO CHEVROLET DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. TECHNICIAN FOUND THREE OUR OF MY FOUR ORIGINAL OEM WHEELS ARE BENT WHICH WAS CAUSING VIBRATION. CAR HAS APPROX. 15,000 MILES - LOCALLY DRIVEN, PLEASURE AND WEEKENDS ONLY!

TIRE SLOWLY LOST PRESSURE OVER SEVERAL WEEKS, EVENTUALLY LOSING 2-3 PSI/DAY. NO ISSUES FOUND WITH TIRE, BUT RIM WAS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES, STARTING AT EDGE OF INNER LIP AND EXTENDING INTO THE BARREL. CRACKS WERE ROUGHLY 1-2 INCHES IN LENGTH. NO MAJOR IMPACTS TO THE TIRE/RIM. DAILY DRIVER WITH ZERO TRACK USE. I HAVE TWO SETS OF THESE RIMS, ONE FOR SUMMER, ONE FOR WINTER. THIS WAS THE SUMMER SET WITH THE STOCK RUN-FLAT TIRE (VERY STIFF SIDEWALL, WHICH MAY BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR), SO MILEAGE ON THESE IS ROUGHLY HALF OF TOTAL CAR MILEAGE.

THE RIGHT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR RIMS ON MY CORVETTE ARE BENT AND I HAVE HAD THIS CAR LESS THAN 3 YEARS. I HAVE OTHER CARS THAT ARE MUCH OLDER AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BENT RIM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE WIDE RIMS ON THIS CAR AND THE Z06 SINCE THE WHEEL BARRELS ARE VERY WIDE AND HAVE NO SUPPORT BY WAY OF THE SPOKES AT THE FAR EDGE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, NOTICED THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS LOSING PRESSURE SLOWLY. TOOK CAR TO TIRE DEALER FOR REPAIR BUT HE FOUND THE WHEEL WAS CRACKED AND THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK. THERE WAS ZERO DAMAGE OTHER THAN THE CRACK AND NO OBVIOUS IMPACT MARKS. CHEVROLET STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS DEFECT IN MATERIAL ON THE WHEEL.

I DISCOVERED MY RIM WAS CRACKED AFTER HAVING THE WHEEL/TIRE INSPECTED FOR A CONSISTENT SLOW LEAK. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THINKING THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR (FROM THE DEALER) THAT NOT ONLY WAS ONE RIM CRACKED, BUT ANOTHER TWO (2) WERE BENT. THE THEN ADVISED ME THAT GM WOULD NOT COVER THIS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. 2017 GRAND SPORT 18K MILES

WHEEL WAS LEAKING AIR AND TOOK CAR INTO TIRE SHOP TO GET FLAT FIXED. DISCOVERED THAT BOTH REAR WHEELS WERE CRACKED ON THE INSIDE RIM. RIMS SEEM TO BE DEFECTIVE AS I HAVE NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES HARD ENOUGH TO HAVE WORRIED ABOUT MY RIMS.

REPLACED 4 TIRES AT 22,000 MILES. NOTED OUT OF ROUND/BENT RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND CRACKED LEFT REAR WHEEL CAUSING A SLOW AIR LEAK. GM DENIED LEFT REAR WHEEL WARRANTY AND CLAIM PENDING ON FRONT RIGHT.

RIGHT REAR WHEEL DEVELOPED INTERMITTENT AIR LEAK. TIRE SHOP UNABLE TO FIND LEAK. I CHOSE TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. WHILE FITTING TIRES, FOUR CRACKS WERE FOUND ON INSIDE EDGE OF RIGHT REAR WHEEL. WHEEL AND TIRE ROAD HAZARD INSURANCE SENT INSPECTOR TO DOCUMENT AND PHOTOGRAPH WHEEL. CLAM WAS DENIED AS THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF POT HOLE OR OTHER HAZARD DAMAGE. CLAIM WAS DENIED AND DAMAGE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

RIGHT REAR WHEEL RIM ON Z06 CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. LOST AIR WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. TOOK TO DEALER THINKING HAD A NAIL OR SLOW LEAK IN TIRE AND DISCOVERED THE TWO CRACKS CAUSING RESULTING IN A DEFLATED TIRE. DID NOT HIT POTHOLES, BUMPS OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS.

OEM 2 REAR RIMS CRACKED ON BACKSIDE LIP IN 3 PLACES. CAR HAS BEEN DRIVE 2,000 MILES SINCE PURCHASED. 90% HIGHWAY DRIVING NO POTHOLES WERE HIT. I DID SEE THERE IS A LAWSUIT AGAINST GM, LLC ABOUT GRAND SPORT AND Z06 RIMS WAS FILED

CRACK IN DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL RIM. LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE WARNING CAME UP ON THE INFORMATION PANEL, WOULD NOT HOLD PRESSURE AFTER RE INFLATING TIRE .WHEN INSPECTED THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE RIM.

HAD VIBRATION AND WAS TOLD I HAD 3 BENT WHEEL AT 6500 MILES. I AM 65 YEARS OLD AND NEVER IN MY LIFETIME DID I EVER HAVE A WHEEL PROBLEM. I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES. I USED "SMART DRIVER" TO DEFEND MY DRIVING HABITS. GM DID REPLACE MY WHEELS. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY 84K CAR

THE CAR HAS HAD A VIBRATION SINCE NEW. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS DUE TO FOUR BENT WHEELS AND THREE BAD TIRES. THE CAR HAD THE FOUR WHEELS AND TIRES REPLACED AT 3200 MILES. TWO WEEKS AND 400 MILES LATER I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE VIBRATION DID NOT GET SOLVED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THREE OF THE REPLACED WERE BENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE WHEELS THAT ARE VERY PRONE TO BENDING. NOW I AM NOT DRIVING THE CAR IN FEAR OF THE CONSTANT PROBLEM OF BENDING THE WHEELS. IN ONE MONTH THE CAR HAS HAD SEVEN WHEELS AND FOUR TIRES REPLACED.

MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW APRIL 2017 LAST YEAR THE REAR WHEELS WERE LEAKING AIR AND UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THE INNER RIM WAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENING TO PASSENGER SIDE REAR. WITHIN 6 MONTHS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER SIDE REAR RIM THIS HAD ONE CRACK UPON INSPECTION AND TAKING IT TO DEALER WHO WOULD SAY THAT IT'S DRIVER DRIVING HABITS AND ROAD CONDITIONS THAT IS THE CAUSE. DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT THE DEALER SERVICE AGENTS SAID THAT IT IS COMMON AND THEY GET A LOT OF THEM. THE ISSUE IS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE REPORTING IT OR KNOW THE PROCESS TO REPORT IT SO THE MANUFACTURER (GM) CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE PHOTOS OF THE WHEEL WITH THE 7 CRACKS AND SEND IT TO GM CORPORATE DID I GET ASSISTANCE FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR...

WITH APPROXIMATELY 9500 MILES ON OUR 2017 CORVETTE, WE PURCHASED NEW TIRES IN ANTICIPATION OF A LONG ROAD TRIP THIS SUMMER. WHEN THE CAR WAS PICKED UP FROM DISCOUNT TIRE, WE WERE TOLD THAT AT LEAST TWO BENT WHEELS. WE CONTACTED THE DEALER, WHO TOLD US THAT THE BENT WHEELS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE 3-YEAR 36,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THE WHEEL REPAIR FACILITY INFORMED US THAT 3 WHEELS WERE SEVERELY BENT AND ONE WAS SLIGHTLY BENT. WE PAID $400 FOR THE REPAIR TO ALL FOUR, AS WE CONSIDER IT A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER THIS, WE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, SOME ON CARS WITH UNDER 500 MILES. OTHERS REPORTED THAT THEY WERE TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR RECALL BECAUSE GM IS NOT HEARING ABOUT THE ISSUE REPEATEDLY. A FEDERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS NOW...

CRACKED REAR WHEEL (INSIDE LIP). NO CURB RASH, NO MARKING ON TIRE. DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE IN WARRANTY.

HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE INSIDE REAR WHEEL WITH NO VISIBLE ROAD HAZARD DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL OR TIRE. IT WAS DISCOVERED AFTER A TPMS LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THE PREVIOUS DAY WAS LIGHT CITY STREET DRIVING WITHOUT DRIVING OVER ANY DEBRIS OR POTHOLES.

PISSED OFF!, ... MY GRAND SPORT IS 1 YEAR OLD THIS WEEK, AND IT'S BEEN BABIED THE ENTIRE TIME WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVING OVER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS. 8,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, YET MY DRIVER'S REAR TIRE HAS BEEN LEAKING AIR SLOWLY SINCE ABOUT 4,000 MILES. THIS CERTAINLY HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING OVER NORMAL FREEWAYS AND STREETS. IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS THE LEAK HAS BECOME SO BAD IT'S BEEN FLAT (11 PSI) TWICE THE NEXT DAY AFTER HAVING BEEN PROPERLY FILLED THE DAY BEFORE! (I'VE ALWAYS CARRIED A PORTABLE TIRE INFLATOR IN HE TRUNK). THIS IS SOOO OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM WITH THESE CAST ALUMINUM 12" WIDE WHEELS ON THE Z06 AND GRAND SPORT MODELS. GM SHOULD BE EXPOSED FOR DENYING ANYONE'S CLAIM WHEN ONE OF THESE ARE BENT OR CRACKED WITHIN THE WARRANTEE PERIOD. WHAT MAKES ME EVEN ANGRIER IS THAT MUCH OF THIS...

I HAVE A 2017 GRAND SPORT WITH APPROX. 17,000 MILES, AND AM LOSING AIR IN THE REAR-LEFT TIRE. I PULLED THE WHEEL AND DISCOVERED FOUR CRACKS ON THE BACK RIM EDGE, LOCATED AT 12:00, 1:00, 5:00 AND 6:00. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF IMPACT TO THE TIRE OR RIM.

AT AROUND 10,000 MILES, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE BENT. WHEN REPLACING THE REAR TIRES AT 17,000 MILES, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS HAD TWO SIZEABLE CRACKS ON THE INSIDE LIP. BASED ON REPORTS FROM CORVETTEFORUM.COM, THIS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE C7 GRAND SPORT WHEELS.

2017 Z06 CORVETTE. CONSUMER WRITES WITH CONCERNS TO SAFETY DEFECT AND MANY MALFUNCTIONS WITH THE VEHICLES TIRES. *AS *TR

MY CORVETTE GRAND SPORT WITH 4900 MILES HAS EXPERIENCED THREE BENT OR OUT OF ROUND WHEELS. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THIS DURING ALIGNMENT PROCESS. I AM STILL WORKING WITH THEM TO FIND A FINANCIAL SOLUTION. BUT I HAVE COME TO LEARN FROM FORUMS AND FROM TALKING WITH OTHER OWNERS THIS IS A COMMON AND PERHAPS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WHEELS CAN EVENTUALLY CRACK AND TIRES CAN LEAK.

2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT, PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 2017, ONLY USED ON WEEKEND AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS ONLY 930. JUST NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END WHEN TRAVEL ON HIGHWAY AT SPEED 55+. BRING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION AND THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORM ME ALL 4 WHEELS HAS BEEN BEND AND NEED TO BE REPLACE. FILE A CASE (9-5019078980) WITH GM CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND AFTER 1 WEEK, GM CENTER CALLED AND TOLD ME THIS IS NOT COVER UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. VERY DISAPPOINT AND LOOSING TRUST IN GM PRODUCT RELATED TO QUALITY, RELIABILITY AND SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE CONSUMERS. THIS PROBLEM WITH THE FACTORY WHEEL BENDING OR CRACKING HAS BEEN REPORT AND LISTED IN SEVERAL CORVETTE FORUM AND MOST ARE RELATED TO THE 2017-2019 GRAND SPORT MODEL. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE AN INVESTIGATION OPEN SOON TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER DAMAGE CAUSING SERIOUS ACCIDENT SIMILAR...

WHEN WE STARTING LOSING AIR IN THE LEFT REAR TIRE, WE HAD IT CHECKED AND A CRACKED RIM WAS DISCOVERED. DID NOT HIT ANY OBVIOUS ROAD HAZARDS, CURBS OR DEBRIS.

RIGHT REAR WHEEL CRACKED, NOT DUE TO HITTING ANYTHING I.E. CURB, POT HOLE ETC. NORMAL DRIVING AND TPMS SENSOR ACTIVATED INDICATING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. UPON CAREFUL INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THE WHEEL DEVELOPED A CRACK. VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST OWNERS OF LATE MODEL CORVETTE GRAND SPORTS. I'VE READ OF SCORES OF CORVETTE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME OWNERS EXPERIENCING CRACKED OR BENT WHEELS MANY TIMES ON THE SAME CAR EVEN AFTER SEVERAL REPLACEMENTS. ON THE CORVETTE FORUM SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD CRACKED WHEELS ON BRAND NEW CARS WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES OR NEW CARS ONLY WEEKS OR MONTHS OLD IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES GM IS REFUSING TO COVER THE WHEELS UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE CARS ARE TECHNICALLY BRAND NEW AND STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. I'VE SPOKEN TO THE HEAD CORVETTE ENGINEER WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN OF THE CAR ABOUT THE...

2 BENT WHEELS UNDER (BETTER THAN) NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT. GARAGE KEPT/COVERED. PRISTINE 2-YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 7000 MILES. SERVICE DEPT ALERTED ME TO THE BENDS DURING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND WHILE INVESTIGATING A PULSING PROBLEM IN THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. THE VEHICLE IS HARDLY EVER DRIVEN, HAS NEVER SEEN ROUGH ROADS/CITY STREETS/BAD WEATHER/ETC. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN "TRACKED" OR OTHERWISE ABUSED. THIS IS A "SUMMER ONLY," WEEKEND VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SCUFFS/SCRAPES/BENDS/BULGES OR OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR WHEELS. NEVER HIT ANY POTHOLE/ROAD HAZARD/DEBRIS, *EVER.* BASED ON RECENT ONLINE RESEARCH AND INFORMATION FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER, I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT THESE WHEELS WILL TOTALLY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DEFORM WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AFTER OPENING A CASE (9-5012193448) AND OVER AN HOUR ON THE PHONE, GM HAS DENIED A WARRANTY CLAIM AND WILL NOT...

THE WHEELS ON MY VEHICLE ARE CRACKED ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. I PICKED UP MY (NEW) CAR FROM LAMARQUE AUTO DEALER IN NEW ORLEANS AND DROVE HOME TO BEAUMONT. WHEN I GOT TO BEAUMONT, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING CAME ON. SO TODAY (1-21-19) I TOOK CAR TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND THEY FOUND THAT MY WHEEL IS CRACKED. I' ASSUMING IT CRACKED WHILE DRIVING OVER 200 MILES ON I-10 HEADED HOME.

CRACKED RIM FROM EVERYDAY DRIVING ON VEHICLE. ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED AFTER PUTTING NEW TIRES ON VEHICLE AT 14.8K MILES. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR APPROX 50MILES WHEN I NOTICED THAT A REAR LEFT TIRE WAS SLOWLY LOSING PRESSURE. I DIDN'T RECALL DRIVING OVER ANY SIGNIFICANT BUMPS IN ROAD DURING THIS PERIOD.

DURING A ROUTINE TIRE INSTALLATION, THE SERVICE DEPT OF THE DEALER FROM WHICH THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BENT (3) OF OUR GRAND SPORT WHEELS LATERALLY. WE HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS ON CORVETTE FORUMS ABOUT THESE PARTICULAR RIMS CRACKING AND BENDING WITH LITTLE OR NO REASON FOR THEM TO DO SO. WE'VE ALSO READ WHERE THE AHTSA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BY OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND YET TO DATE NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. CORVETTE FORUMS HAVE ALSO STATED THAT THESE WHEELS CAN BEND EASILY DURATION THE VEHICLE OPERATION. THESE ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLES WITH WHEELS THAT ARE SUBSTANDARD. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET INJURED OR DIE DUE TO THESE DEFECTIVE WHEELS BEFORE YOUR AGENCY FORCES GM TO MAKE DEFINITIVE CHANGES FOR THE CONSUMER?

DRIVING DOWN A STREET IN AIKEN SC (YORK ST) I RAN ACROSS A MANHOLE THAT WAS BELOW STREET GRADE. IMMEDIATELY UPON SPEEDING UP, NOTICED VIBRATION. TOOK THE CAR TO LOCAL TIRE DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZES IN CORVETTE TIRES AND THEY VERIFIED THAT BOTH WHEELS ON THE LEFT SIDE WERE BENT. THEY WERE BOTH BENT ON THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL AWAY FROM THE SPOKES. I WAS GOING LESS THAN 25 MPH WHEN I RAN OVER THE RECESSED MANHOLE. GM DOES NOT RECOMMEND REPAIRING THESES WHEELS SINCE ACCORDING TO THEM WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL IF REPAIRED. THAT MEANS I HAVE TO BUY TWO NEW WHEELS FOR OVER $1800 OUT OF POCKET.

I HAD 3 BENT WHEELS AND 1 CRACKED WHEEL AFTER ABOUT 10,000 MILES

WHEELS BEND OUT OF ROUND DURING NORMAL USE..DANGEROUS AND IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT CHEVROLET WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE.. I AM AWARE OF SEVERAL INSTANCES WITH OTHER C7 GRAND SPORT OWNERS THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET. FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE OWNERS... THE WHEEL COULD SHEER OF THE CAR AND RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND FATALITIES
