NORMAL DRIVING CAUSED MAJOR/MINOR CRACKS IN 2 RIMS WITH MODERATE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE OVER COURSE OF ONLY A FEW MILES REQUIRING IMMEDIATE EXIT FROM HIGHWAY TO ADDRESS UNSAFE CONDITION OF CAR. MILEAGE OF ONLY 18693 ON THE CAR AS OF 6/11/2020. NO COVERAGE PER GM EVEN UNDER NEW CAR 3 YEAR/36000 MILE WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED. COST TO ME OF $1501.30. PICTURES OF CRACKS AVAILABLE AS ARE THE ACTUAL RIMS (TIRE SERVICE SAID THEY'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN 40 YEARS). LAWSUITS PENDING AGAINST GM CURRENTLY (CLASS ACTION). WHEN THEY DEBUTED THE 2017 GRAND SPORT MODEL ON A 40000 MILE TEST RUN THEY HAD A TOTAL OF 10 CRACKED OR BENT RIMS DUE TO POOR RIM CONSTRUCTION.

BOTH REAR WHEELS HAVE CRACKS FROM THE INNER EDGE TO THE TIRE BEAD AREA. BOTH REAR WHEELS ARE LEAKING AIR AT OVER 4 PSI PER WEEK AS VERIFIED BY BUBBLE TESTING OF THE CRACKS AND TIRE PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS. BOTH REAR WHEELS AND TIRES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE OF ANY KIND FROM IMPACTS. REAR TIRE TREAD AT 12,000 MILES IS STILL SAFE, BUT CLOSE TO WEAR OUT LIMITS. MY TIRE SHOP CANNOT INSTALL NEW REAR TIRES ON THE CRACKED WHEELS. MARTIN CHEVROLET IN TORRANCE CA REDUCED THEIR DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO $90 FOR TAKING PHOTOS AND PROCESSING A WARRANTY CLAIM WITH GM. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL WITHIN THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY, BUT GM REJECTED THE CLAIM AND REFUSED ANY KIND OF COMPENSATION FOR THE DESIGN DEFECT OF CORVETTE C7 WHEELS. GM SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE REGISTERED MY CASE NUMBER 9-5956196745 AND SUGGESTED THAT I HAVE THE WHEELS WELDED OR BUY TWO NEW WHEELS AT MY EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE 14 MAY 2020 DUE TO RISK OF LOSS OF AIR TO REAR TIRES. NO OTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED BY GM OR THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE, PENSKE CHEVROLET. THE THREE YEAR WARRANTY WAS IN EFFECT BUT WAS NOT HONORED. ONE OR MORE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE PENDING FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE KEPT GOING FLAT AND THE LEAK COULD NOT BE FOUND. A TIRE SERVICE CENTER EVENTUALLY FOUND 2 CRACKS ON THE INSIDE LIP OF THE WHEEL THAT EXTENDED INWARDS 1.5" INTO THE BARREL AREA OF THE WHEEL WHICH CAUSED THE LEAK. THIS COULD LEAD TO A WHEEL CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE SHOP MANAGER SAID THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR A WARRANTY CLAIM. THE SHOP FOREMAN FILED THE CLAIM BUT GM DENIED IT. THE FOREMAN ALSO INDICATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I PURCHASED A NEW WHEEL AND KEPT THE OLD ONE. THE WHITE MARKS IN THE PICTURES ARE JUST A WAY TO HIGHLIGHT THE CRACKS. THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF IMPACTS THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASE THE CAR AS A ONE OWNER USED. AT THE TIME OF PICK UP THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH READ LOW RR TIRE. THE SERVICE DEPT TOOK THE CAR FOR INSPECTION. THE TECH CAME BACK AND SAID HE DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM. HE STATED HE FILLED THE TIRE AND REFLASHED THE COMPUTER AS PRECAUTION. AFTER A 5 HOUR TRIP HOME WITH THE CAR IN AN ENCLOSED TRAILER, I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN HEATED STORAGE FOR THE BALANCE OF THE WINTER. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT THE TIRE SITUATION. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR OUT THIS SPRING THE DASH MESSAGE SAID FLAT RR TIRE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A REPUTABLE TIRE SHOP TO SEE IF THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING IN IT. HE CALLED ABOUT AN HOUR LATER TELLING ME THERE WERE 2 CRACKS IN THE REAR OF THE WHEEL. AFTER CHECKING ON THE CORVETTE FORUM I SEE WHERE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WITH THE GRAND SPORT. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE THE CAR OUT ESPECIALLY WITH FAMILY MEMBERS. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND I FEEL I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED. AN AFTER MARKET SET OF QUALITY WHEELS CAN COST $5000 OR MORE AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I DON'T ONLY BLAME GM BUT ALSO THE SELLING DEALER AS I BELIEVE THEY KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM. SO AS OF NOW I HAVE A USELESS $80 K CAR THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AT BRADLEY HUBLER CHEV. IN FRANKLIN, INDIANA. I PURCHASED THE CAR 2/17/20. IT WAS ALREADY FRACTURED.
THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL CRACK TEARING THE TIRE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL MY CAR SENT ME AN EMAIL.. I HAD NOT DRIVEN MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME.

JUST STARTED TO NOTICED A SLIGHT LEAK FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE OVER A FEW DAYS, THE LEAK PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. I DECIDED TO GO GET IT TAKEN CARE OF.

THE CAR WAS BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION WHEN I NOTICED THE LEAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN ON PATHED ROADS.
