2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

On 1-24-2023 at 13,224 miles the rear left tire began to lose pressure slowly. Upon investigation the rear left wheel is cracked. This is unsafe as the rapid pressure loss or splitting of a wheel can happen at interstate speeds. This can cause an accident. The problem was confirmed by a tire service center. It has not been inspected by anyone other than myself and the tire center. The car TPMS warning displayed to alert the low pressure condition.

Tire rack in south bend indiana went to replace my corvettes tires and when they removed the rear wheels they identified two cracks. Due to safety policy's they could not remount my tires or pout new tires on the wheels... I was stuck so I called GM to discuss. GM opened a case for me and said that is all they could do at the time. I purchased new wheels to get the car back on the road and waited for GM to call. They never did so I called and the customer service lady set up an appointment at the nearest dealer to inspect the cracked wheels. I traveled to the the dealer for the appointment and of coarse they didn't know anything about the GM ticket and sent me away. I called GM again and set me up another appointment with a different dealer and assured me the issue would get resolved. I traveled to the 2nd dealer and they didn't know anything about the GM ticket and then said if they were to look at the wheels they would have to be mounted on the car. I left and GM called me the next day and the ladt informed me that my claim / ticket was denied and will be closed out. I asked how could you deny the claim when you never even looked or inspected them?! The wheels should not be on the road and this is an ongoing issue with the C7 Grand Sport's and Z06.

I had a rear right wheel leaking air. Figuring that i was a slow leak, I took it to my local Discount Tire shop for repair. The informed me that the tire was fine and that it was the rim that was leaking. As it turns out all but 1 of my factory GM wheels had cracks in them. After doing a litle research I've learned that this is a massive issue with the Corvette C7 factory wheels. The wheel have been bending, cracking and breaking. As of right now GM has not taken ownership of this dangerous issue. My understanding is that lawsuits are now pending.

Drivers side rear wheel has cracked causing air to leak. If left unnoticed, this may lead to catastrophic failure as the wheel may completely break a highway speeds.

Took the car to discount tire since the tire lost air (run flat tires). They removed the tire and the rear passenger side rim has one 3 inch and two additional cracks in the rim. No warning signs of this issue while driving at highway speeds earlier in the day. The large crack was leaking air. Rims are discontinued by Chevrolet and no replacements are available. Had to drive the car home which was an obvious safety issue. A large number of other drivers are faced with the same safety issue over these defective rims. I will add myself to any class action lawsuits over this issue so that no one is injured due to a total rim failure.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that he became aware that the passenger’s side rear tire was lower than usual. The contact inflated the tire however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to be repaired and the contact was notified that the rim was cracked. The rim was not replaced. The contact was unable to reach a representative with the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 15,042. The VIN was not available.

The rear right wheel is confirmed having two cracks by Fremont of Chevrolet. The car was not driven in any conditions beyond that would be considered "normal". We found out about this issue as the TPMS would indicate low tire pressure after the car would be sitting for a few days on the rear right tire. Driving on a cracked wheel presents a danger as the crack can expand and fully deflate the tire during normal driving. This is a known issue for GM for having fragile wheels on the grand sport and Z06 models

Left front wheel was found to be out of round (bent), when trying to balance the wheel assembly due to vibration. The wheel was straightened, and the vibration was resolved. Left rear tire lost pressure while driving on open road in Wyoming. Managed to get to Les Schwab tire store. They removed the wheel/tire assembly, submerged in water tank and found the air leaking through the cracked wheel. Dash warning light had come on indicating the loss of pressure. Local GM dealer (Whistler Chevrolet) was able to order a replacement wheel and it was installed the next day. The expense of the new wheel and mounting was in excess of $900.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while making a right turn at a slow speed, the power steering assist failed. The contact stated that he was uncertain if any warning lights were illuminated during the failure. The contact restarted the vehicle however, the failure persisted. The contact was able to slowly drive the vehicle home. The dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V086000 (Steering) which he linked to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.

A "low tire pressure" alert shown on my dashboard referring to rear left tire. This car has 17,000 miles since new, and new tires less then 90 days before. I added correct air pressure, parked car in garage, 3 days later same notice, tire low on air. First removed left rear, cleaned and inspected and noticed approximately 1" crack along the rim. Check with water and found leak. Repeated for right side, a crack which is currently not leaking air. Photos of both rims ae attached
