DURING A ROUTINE TIRE INSTALLATION, THE SERVICE DEPT OF THE DEALER FROM WHICH THE CAR WAS PURCHASED BENT (3) OF OUR GRAND SPORT WHEELS LATERALLY. WE HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS ON CORVETTE FORUMS ABOUT THESE PARTICULAR RIMS CRACKING AND BENDING WITH LITTLE OR NO REASON FOR THEM TO DO SO. WE'VE ALSO READ WHERE THE AHTSA HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BY OTHER CORVETTE OWNERS CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND YET TO DATE NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. CORVETTE FORUMS HAVE ALSO STATED THAT THESE WHEELS CAN BEND EASILY DURATION THE VEHICLE OPERATION. THESE ARE HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLES WITH WHEELS THAT ARE SUBSTANDARD. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET INJURED OR DIE DUE TO THESE DEFECTIVE WHEELS BEFORE YOUR AGENCY FORCES GM TO MAKE DEFINITIVE CHANGES FOR THE CONSUMER?

DRIVING DOWN A STREET IN AIKEN SC (YORK ST) I RAN ACROSS A MANHOLE THAT WAS BELOW STREET GRADE. IMMEDIATELY UPON SPEEDING UP, NOTICED VIBRATION. TOOK THE CAR TO LOCAL TIRE DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZES IN CORVETTE TIRES AND THEY VERIFIED THAT BOTH WHEELS ON THE LEFT SIDE WERE BENT. THEY WERE BOTH BENT ON THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL AWAY FROM THE SPOKES. I WAS GOING LESS THAN 25 MPH WHEN I RAN OVER THE RECESSED MANHOLE. GM DOES NOT RECOMMEND REPAIRING THESES WHEELS SINCE ACCORDING TO THEM WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL IF REPAIRED. THAT MEANS I HAVE TO BUY TWO NEW WHEELS FOR OVER $1800 OUT OF POCKET.

AFTER DRIVING THE CAR THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING CAME ON AND WE STARTED NOTICING THE TIRE PRESSURE LEAKING ON THE RIGHT REAR OF MY WIFE GRAND SPORT CORVETTE, THE WHEEL WAS TAKEN OFF TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF LEAK. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK ALONE THE BEAD RING AREA OF THE INSIDE DRUM AREA OF THE WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY AND DIDN'T OFFER REPAIRS. THE WHEEL WAS TAKEN TO A REPUTABLE WHEEL REPAIR SHOP WITH A GUARANTEE ON THE REPAIR. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILE THE SAME WHEEL STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN. AFTER REMOVING THE WHEEL THERE WAS ANOTHER CRACK APPROXIMATELY 180 DEGREES FROM THE REPAIRED CRACK. AFTER REFUSING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH A CRACKED WHEEL, IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE CAR AND TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO CALLED THE GM PRIORITY CARE AT 866-636-2273. GM PRIORITY CARE GAVE ME THE CASE NUMBER 8-4778215369 . THE DEALERSHIP STILL REFUSED TO COVER THE WHEEL UNDER WARRANTY BUT OFFERED TO SELL ME ANOTHER WHEEL FOR $250. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 19000MILES AND IS MY WIFE'S DAILY DRIVER FOR WORK. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED OR INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. IT HAS BEEN PAINTED DUE TO SCRATCHES FROM TORNADO WIND DAMAGE. I TOOK PICTURES BEFORE THE REPAIR WAS MADE AND ADDITIONAL PICTURE OF THE SECOND CRACK IN THE SAME WHEEL. IN MY OPINION THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE WHEEL WHEN THE FIRST CRACK OCCURRED. NOW I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE QUALITY OF THE GRAND SPORT WHEELS AND WILL REFUSE THEIR OFFER OF GETTING A WHEEL FOR $250. AFTER CHECKING WITH AN AFTERMARKET WHEEL COMPANY FOR REPLACEMENT WHEELS, THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT GM IS AWARE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE GRAND SPORT WHEEL AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL I GET A REPLACEMENT WHEEL. SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE FIRST AND SECOND CRACK IN THE WHEEL.

2017-2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT HAS A HIGH NUMBER OF REPORT INSTANCES OF RIMS CRACKING AND BENDING THAT FORUM MEMBERS FEEL IS NOT NORMAL, NOT DUE TO HITTING POTHOLES OR ANYTHING. I HAD NEVER HIT ANY POTHOLES OR ANYTHING HARD, AND WHILE HAVING MY TIRES CHANGED, THE SHOP SHOWS ME A CRACK IN THE RIM. ON THE BLOG SITE "CORVETTE FORUM", THERE'S NUMEROUS PEOPLE AND PICTURES OF PEOPLE SHOWING THEIR CRACKED OR BENT RIMS. GM IS TELLING PEOPLE THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND NOT DEALING WITH IT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED MULTIPLE TIRES BENT OR CRACKED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. I'M SURE GM DOES NOT HAVE ACCURATE DATA, PEOPLE MOST PEOPLE REPORT THE DEALER TURNS THEIR CLAIM AWAY AS NOT BEING COVERED, SO IT'S NOT GETTING FULLY REPORTED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM ONLY WITH THE GRAND SPORT MODEL.
