THE REAR TIRE ON MY GRAND SPORT STARTED LEAKING AIR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS REPAIRED. IT WAS LEAKING AGAIN THE NEXT DAY AND I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN AND I WAS AGAIN TOLD IT WAS FIXED. I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS ADVISED THE RIM HAD TWO CRACKS. ESTIMATED REPAIR COST 1,305 TO START OUT AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP. LONG STORY SHORT THEY CUT ME A DEAL ON THE REPAIRS AND REDUCED MY COST TO 620.00. I WAS NOT HAPPY BUT I LOVE THE CAR AND I HATED TO HAVE AN EXPENSIVE CAR SITTING THE GARAGE AND ON TOP OF THAT UNRELIABLE. I GAVE IN AND PAID THE 620.00 BUCKS AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT IT HAPPENING AGAIN OR TOO ONE OF THE OTHER RIMS. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN CHEVROLET. MY FRIEND IS AN EX SHERIFF AND TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IF A RIM IS CRACKED HE HAS SEEN NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS WHERE THE RIM DISINTEGRATES ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS. ALL FOUR RIMS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHEVROLET UNDER THE WARRANTY.

WITH ONLY 11K MILES MY CAR DEVELOPED A LEAK IN THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL, SO BAD THAT IT WOULD GO FROM 40 TO ZERO PSI IN 15 MINUTES. I DISCOVERED I HAD A CRACKED WHEEL IN THE RIGHT REAR. DURING REPAIR I FOUND BOTH FRONT WHEELS WERE BENT. I HAVE NEVER RUN OVER ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS. CHEVROLET DENIED THE WARRANTY CLAIM, STATING I CAUSED THE DAMAGE. TO REPAIR THE CAR, I HAD TO BUY A USED SET OF WHEELS...OF WHICH ONE WAS ALSO CRACKED IN A SIMILAR FASHION. THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THESE WHEELS. IN ADDITION, THE BENT WHEELS CAUSED 3 OUT OF 4 TIRES TO BE COMPLETELY SHREDDED IN ONLY 11,000 MILES. THE ONLY GOOD TIRE IS THE ONE ON THE UN-DAMAGED LEFT REAR WHEEL. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR SHRED 3 TIRES TO THE CORDS IRREGULARLY WHILE ONE HAS 80% TREAD REMAINING. THE ONE GOOD TIRE IS ON THE ONLY NON-DAMAGED RIM.

MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR (TPS) CAME ON FOR BOTH THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS. UPON INSPECTION OF THE TIRES LOSING AIR, THE AUTO SHOP FOUND THAT BOTH RIMS WERE BENT AND CRACKED. THEREFORE, I DECIDED TO INCUR THE EXPENSE AND GET BOTH REPAIRED UNTIL I CAN PURCHASE NEW WHEELS. SINCE I HAD NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD CAUSE MAJOR STRESS TO THE WHEELS, MY MECHANIC AND I DETERMINED THAT THESE CRACKS MUST HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. BECAUSE THERE IS A LARGE NUMBER OF REPORTS OF CRACKED OR BENT WHEELS ON C7 (2014-2019) CORVETTES, I AM REPORTING WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT.

THE LEFT REAR WHEEL (STOCK, OEM) CRACKED WHILE ON VACATION AND THERE BEING NO OTHER OPTION AND SINCE THE TIRE WAS LOSING AIR I HAD THE WHEEL WELDED. A FEW DAYS LATER, WHILE STILL ON VACATION, THE SAME TIRE WAS LOSING AIR AGAIN. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WELD WAS INTACT BUT THAT THERE WERE THREE ADDITIONAL CRACKS. AFTER HAVING THOSE WELDED I LIMPED ALONG UNTIL I COULD ACQUIRE A NEW WHEEL. THE RIGHT SIDE REAR ALSO SHOW A CRACK WHEN I RETUNED FROM VACATION AND HAD OCCASION TO REPLACE ALL WHEELS. I SHIPPED THE WHEEL WITH 4 WELDED CRACKS HOME AND STILL HAVE IT FOR EVIDENCE IF NEEDED. ALL CRACKS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS-BOTH GOING STRAIGHT AND TURNING. CRACKED WHEELS ON 2017 CHEVROLET CORVETTES HAVE HAPPENED ON TOO MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES TO BE A COINCIDENCE AND, IN FACT, THERE IS A PENDING CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THEM.

IN THE PAST YEAR MY REAR ALLOY WHEELS HAVE SUFFERED TWO SEPARATE CRACKS IN THE LEFT REAR WHEEL AND ONE CRACK IN THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL CAUSING FLAT TIRES. ON EACH OCCASION I WENT TO MY CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS DAMAGE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I HAD TO HAVE THE WHEELS REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THESE WHEELS ARE FRAGILE BECAUSE THEY ARE LOW PROFILE. THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD OR TRACKED NOR HIT ANY MAJOR POTHOLES. I AM 76 YEARS OLD AND HAVE DRIVEN MILLIONS OF MILES AND OWNED DOZENS OF CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A BENT OR CRACKED WHEEL BEFORE. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2018, AUGUST OF 2019 AND OCTOBER OF 2019. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF DRIVING ON UNSAFE WHEELS. BY THE WAY, THESE RIMS COST OVER $800 APIECE. I HAVE MET MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2017-2018 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT AND Z06 MODELS THAT USE THE SAME WHEELS AND HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS OF CRACKED AND BENT WHEELS THAT WERE REFUSED WARRANTY COVERAGE BY CHEVROLET. ONLINE BLOGS HAVE STATED THAT CHEVROLET DOESN'T KEEP RECORDS OF ALL OF THESE CLAIMS THAT THEY REFUSE TO HONOR. IF CHEVROLET REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THESE PROBLEMS THERE SHOULD BE A GOVERNMENT RECALL TO FORCE THEM TO CORRECT THE SERIOUS DANGER POSED BY THESE SUBSTANDARD WHEELS. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT IS BEING CREATED TO FORCE SOME ACTION AND REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
