2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

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!

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.

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.

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.
