RIGHT REAR WHEEL CRACKED, NOT DUE TO HITTING ANYTHING I.E. CURB, POT HOLE ETC. NORMAL DRIVING AND TPMS SENSOR ACTIVATED INDICATING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. UPON CAREFUL INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THE WHEEL DEVELOPED A CRACK. VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST OWNERS OF LATE MODEL CORVETTE GRAND SPORTS. I'VE READ OF SCORES OF CORVETTE OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME OWNERS EXPERIENCING CRACKED OR BENT WHEELS MANY TIMES ON THE SAME CAR EVEN AFTER SEVERAL REPLACEMENTS. ON THE CORVETTE FORUM SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD CRACKED WHEELS ON BRAND NEW CARS WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES OR NEW CARS ONLY WEEKS OR MONTHS OLD IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES GM IS REFUSING TO COVER THE WHEELS UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE CARS ARE TECHNICALLY BRAND NEW AND STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. I'VE SPOKEN TO THE HEAD CORVETTE ENGINEER WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE ENTIRE DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN OF THE CAR ABOUT THE PROBLEM. HIS REPLY IS THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DON'T KNOW THE CAUSE YET THEY WON'T WARRANTY OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE WHEELS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I'M AFRAID THE SAME PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN TO MY OTHER WHEELS. I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE THE WHEEL OUT OF MY OWN POCKET ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

2 BENT WHEELS UNDER (BETTER THAN) NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON MY 2017 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT. GARAGE KEPT/COVERED. PRISTINE 2-YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 7000 MILES. SERVICE DEPT ALERTED ME TO THE BENDS DURING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND WHILE INVESTIGATING A PULSING PROBLEM IN THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. THE VEHICLE IS HARDLY EVER DRIVEN, HAS NEVER SEEN ROUGH ROADS/CITY STREETS/BAD WEATHER/ETC. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN "TRACKED" OR OTHERWISE ABUSED. THIS IS A "SUMMER ONLY," WEEKEND VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SCUFFS/SCRAPES/BENDS/BULGES OR OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR WHEELS. NEVER HIT ANY POTHOLE/ROAD HAZARD/DEBRIS, *EVER.* BASED ON RECENT ONLINE RESEARCH AND INFORMATION FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER, I'M NOW CONCERNED THAT THESE WHEELS WILL TOTALLY CRACK OR OTHERWISE DEFORM WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. AFTER OPENING A CASE (9-5012193448) AND OVER AN HOUR ON THE PHONE, GM HAS DENIED A WARRANTY CLAIM AND WILL NOT FURTHER DISCUSS/ESCALATE THIS ISSUE. GM WOULD NOT PROVIDE A DESCRIPTION OR COPY OF THE METHOD USED TO DETERMINE "DEFECT VS.DAMAGE", OR A WRITTEN COPY OF THE EVALUATION MADE BY THE REGIONAL WARRANTY REP. GM REFUSES TO DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM, WILL NOT REPLACE/REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE WHEELS, AND WILL NOT PAY FOR A SUITABLE/COMPARABLE 3RD PARTY REPLACEMENT. I'VE ALSO READ ABOUT OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES VIA THESE LINKS: HTTPS://WWW.CARANDDRIVER.COM/REVIEWS/A23705281/2017-CHEVROLET-CORVETTE-GRAND-SPORT-RELIABILITY/ HTTPS://WWW.CORVETTEFORUM.COM/FORUMS/C7-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/4161059-2018-GRAND-SPORT-CRACKED-RIM.HTML HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/CHEVROLET/CORVETTE/WHEEL-PROBLEMS.PHP

THE WHEELS ON MY VEHICLE ARE CRACKED ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. I PICKED UP MY (NEW) CAR FROM LAMARQUE AUTO DEALER IN NEW ORLEANS AND DROVE HOME TO BEAUMONT.

CRACKED RIM FROM EVERYDAY DRIVING ON VEHICLE. ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED AFTER PUTTING NEW TIRES ON VEHICLE AT 14.8K MILES. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR APPROX 50MILES WHEN I NOTICED THAT A REAR LEFT TIRE WAS SLOWLY LOSING PRESSURE. I DIDN'T RECALL DRIVING OVER ANY SIGNIFICANT BUMPS IN ROAD DURING THIS PERIOD.

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.
I HAD 3 BENT WHEELS AND 1 CRACKED WHEEL AFTER ABOUT 10,000 MILES
