I WENT OUT TO MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE IT TO WORK AND SAW THAT I HAD A LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING. THE PRESSURE WAS 19 PSI, AND NORMAL SHOULD BE 30 PSI. I INFLATED THE TIRE TO NORMAL PRESSURE, AND A WEEK LATER THE PRESSURE HAD DROPPED TO 9PSI. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DISCOUNT TIRE ASSUMING I HAD A TIRE PUNCTURE, BUT AFTER REMOVING THE WHEEL AND TIRE THEY IMMEDIATELY DETECTED A CRACK IN THE WHEEL. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL NOTICED DURING THE MOST RECENT TIRE REPLACEMENT AT ~20.4K MILES AND THE PREVIOUS TIRES SHOWED NO DAMAGE FROM HARD OR SUDDEN IMPACT. NO HARD OR SUDDEN IMPACTS HAVE OCCURRED SINCE EITHER.

TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO ACKNOWLEDGED ALSO WHEELS WERE BENT IN REPAIR ORDER. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER BENT WHEELS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER 3YR/ 36K MILE WARRANTY. DEALER SUGGESTED I CONTACT GM. LATER INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED MANY OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCING BENT WHEELS ON THIS PARTICULAR CORVETTE MODEL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AS WHEELS ARE CRACKING AND COULD FOIL COMPLETELY CAUSING UNCONTROLLABLE SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 108 NEAR SONORA CALIFORNIA THE RIGHT REAR TIRE STARTED TO LOSE PRESSURE, UPON INSPECTION FOUND THE WHEEL TO BE CRACKED (1.5' LONG BY 1/16' WIDE) AT THE INNER BEAD AREA. WE HAD NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE ROADWAY, ALSO NO DAMAGE TO TIRE WAS NOTED NOR WAS THERE A DENT IN THE AREA OF THE CRACK.I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS CRACK HAD GOTTEN ANY BIGGER THE TIRE COULD HAVE BEEN DAMAGED CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT IT IS A RUNFLAT TIRE A REASONABLE PERSON MAY HAVE DRIVEN IT FOR UP TO 50 MILES TO GET REPAIRED OR REPLACED THINKING THAT IT WAS A NAIL IN THE TIRE, THIS COULD'VE LED TO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE WHEEL. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT THE DEALERSHIP AMERICAN CHEVROLET IN MODESTO CALIFORNIA AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A CRACKED WHEEL AND ALL THREE OTHER WHEELS ARE BENT EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER HIT ANY OBJECTS ON THE ROAD. THEY CREATED A DEALER CASE NUMBER 9 - 5742425781. THEY CLAIM THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS UNAWARE OF THIS DEFECT, I BELIEVE THIS TO BE UNTRUE AS MANY FORUMS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM THROUGHOUT THE MODEL YEARS OF THE C7 GENERATION GRAND SPORT AND Z06 MODELS.
