PISSED OFF!, ... MY GRAND SPORT IS 1 YEAR OLD THIS WEEK, AND IT'S BEEN BABIED THE ENTIRE TIME WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVING OVER ROAD IMPERFECTIONS. 8,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, YET MY DRIVER'S REAR TIRE HAS BEEN LEAKING AIR SLOWLY SINCE ABOUT 4,000 MILES. THIS CERTAINLY HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING OVER NORMAL FREEWAYS AND STREETS. IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS THE LEAK HAS BECOME SO BAD IT'S BEEN FLAT (11 PSI) TWICE THE NEXT DAY AFTER HAVING BEEN PROPERLY FILLED THE DAY BEFORE! (I'VE ALWAYS CARRIED A PORTABLE TIRE INFLATOR IN HE TRUNK). THIS IS SOOO OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM WITH THESE CAST ALUMINUM 12" WIDE WHEELS ON THE Z06 AND GRAND SPORT MODELS. GM SHOULD BE EXPOSED FOR DENYING ANYONE'S CLAIM WHEN ONE OF THESE ARE BENT OR CRACKED WITHIN THE WARRANTEE PERIOD. WHAT MAKES ME EVEN ANGRIER IS THAT MUCH OF THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE AVOIDED IF CHEVROLET WOULD MAKE THE "MAG RIDE UPDATE" AVAILABLE FOR FREE, INSTEAD OF THE $350 THEY CHARGE!!!" ... MANY WHO HAVE PAID FOR THIS RIDICULOUS CHARGE, (SHOULD BE FREE) ... HAVE SAID IT MAKES THE SUSPENSION AND RIDE, SOFTER AND FAR MORE COMPLIANT WHILE IMPROVING THE THE CORNERING AND HANDLING. I BELIEVE THIS WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD RELIEVING THE STRESSES THESE WHEELS ARE FAILING UNDER! I WISH WE WOULD ORGANIZE AND FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST GM FOR THESE WHEEL FAILURES! NOW I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE AGGRAVATION, TIME LOSS OF VEHICLE USAGE AND PROBABLY STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A WHEEL REPAIR THAT ITSELF WILL LIKELY CRACK AGAIN, (SAFETY CONCERN)... OR BUY A WHOLE NEW SET OF AFTERMARKET WHEELS !!! I AM HERE, CONTACTING NHTSA TO FILE MY COMPLAINT!
