MY CAR HAS ALMOST 2000 MILES ON IT. I HAD A SLIGHT VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER EXPECTING A WHEEL BALANCE PROBLEM BUT FOUND OUT THAT I HAD 3 BENT WHEELS. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL CORVETTE. IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN, STRENGTH, ISSUE WITH THE WHEELS. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR I CAN'T REMEMBER HITTING ANYTHING THAT WOULD BEND 3 WHEELS. I DON'T ABUSE THE CAR. I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER GETTING NO SATISFACTION. THEY TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. I ALSO WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. I AM VERY LEARY ABOUT DRIVING THIS CAR. GM SHOULD BEAR SOME OF THE RESPONSIBILITY.

MY GRAND SPORT HAS MULTIPLE WHEEL ISSUES, SAFETY ISSUES. THE WHEELS ARE PRONE TO CRACKING AND BENDING. HAPPENS OFTEN, TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK ON 2 DIFFERENT WHEELS, TIRES GO FLAT, WHEEL HAS TO BE WELDED OR REPLACED EACH INCIDENT. TIRES ARE NOT CAPABLE OF REINSTALLING MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SAFETY. GM DOES NOT WANT TO WARRANTY THIS SITUATION, COSTING ME HOURS OF LOST WORK, INABILITY TO TRUST THE CAR FOR REGULAR OR PLEASURE DRIVING AND COSTING ME THOUSANDS $. NOW, GM HAS A MULTI MONTH BACK ORDER ON REPLACEMENT WHEELS (AT MY COST) AND THIS CAR HAS NO SPARE AS THESE ARE RUN FLAT TIRES. SO CAR BECOMES USELESS AND UNSAFE. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE 'THOUSANDS' OF SIMILAR OWNER SITUATIONS ACCORDING TO CAPSTONE LAW FIRM WANTING TO ENLIST ME IN A CLASS ACTION. I PREFER A GM SWIFT AND FAIR SOLUTION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE CAR AND FOR THE WAY THEY ARE TREATING US. DENYING ANY ISSUES. I DON'T TRACK OR RACE MY CAR, I'M AN OLDER DRIVER WHO ENJOYS DRIVING AND LIVE IN LOS ANGELES WHERE I DRIVE 50 MILES R/T DAILY TO WORK AT A WHOPPING SPEED OF MAYBE 20 MPH DUE TO TRAFFIC ON THE 101 FWY.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, MY DEALER OR TIRE SHOP HAVE FOUND CRACKED OR SEVERELY BENT WHEELS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE SEVERAL OF THEM OUT-OF-POCKET AT A COST OF NEARLY $1000 PER WHEEL. THERE WAS USUALLY NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM BESIDES A SLOW AIR LEAK. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN GREAT CARE TO AVOID POTHOLES AND LARGE BUMPS.

I CONTACTED GM AND THEY TOO SAID, THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE DEFECTIVE WHEELS. RECEIVED A WARNING ON MY INFORMATION CENTER THAT MY LEFT REAR TIRE WAS LOW ON AIR. I PROCEEDED TO REMOVE THE TIRE AND FOUND THREE CRACKS ON THE LEFT TIRE, AND I ALSO REMOVED ALL THE OTHER WHEELS AND FOUND THE RIGHT REAR ALSO WAS CRACKED. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO TOM HESSER CHEVROLET, AND THEY SAID, THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO.

I OWN A 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE GRAND SPORT. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 12,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT CAME TIME FOR NEW REAR TIRES AND WHEN THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WAS REMOVED FROM THE CAR A CRACK WAS IMMEDIATELY NOTICED. THE TIRES WERE NOT REMOVED AND THE CAR WENT TO THE DEALER. I HAD THEM CHECK ALL 4 WHEELS AND I WAS TOLD THAT 3 WHEELS WERE CRACKED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WHEELS ARE NOT COVERED AND THAT GM BLAMES POTHOLES OR OPERATOR ERROR. THERE ARE NO MARK'S ON ANY TIRES OR SAME THAT WOULD SHOW POTHOLE DAMAGE. THE CAR IS MARKETED AS A TRACK CAR BUT DRIVING THE CAR AT ANY SPEED WITH CRACK WHEELS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND COULD EASILY KILL SOMEONE. A RECALL NEEDS IMPLEMENTED ASAP AS I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY LARGE PROBLEM.

THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL IS CRACKED. I NOTICED THAT I WAS LOSING TIRE PRESSURE FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. I THOUGHT I HAD HIT A NAIL AND CAUSED A PUNCTURE. I TOOK IT FOR INSPECTION AND FOUND THE RIM HAD CRACKED. THE PRESSURE WAS LOST DURING THE TIME IT WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE.

PASSENGER-SIDE REAR WHEEL CRACKED IN THREE PLACES. I NOTICED THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES GOING DOWN SO WENT TO GET IT INVESTIGATED BY LOCAL TIRE SHOP WHO FOUND THE THREE CRACKS. GM WON'T HONOR THEIR BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY WHICH IS INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING, DESPITE THE CAR ONLY BEING 2 YEARS OLD WITH 9K MILES ON IT.
