2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

FRONT WHEEL RUB WHEN IN MOTION TURNING SHARPLY LEFT OR RIGHT. DEALERSHIP DOCUMENT TO ME STATES THAT THIS IS A "3030 NORMAL CONDITION".

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 CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP.

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.

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 HAD 3 ONE INCH CRACKS IN IT. I WENT TO MY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HAD THEM DOCUMENT THE ISSUE TAKE PICTURES AND NOTIFY GM OF MY CLAIM. GM REJECTED THE CLAIM WITH IN 2 HOURS AND CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZZARDS.

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.

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.
