THE WHEELS ON MY 2019 CORVETTE GRAND SPORT ARE CRACKING. THE DEALERSHIP AND GM DON'T SEEM TO BE INTERESTED IN FIXING THEM. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, NEVER TRACKED AND NEVER DRIVEN HARD. THE WHEELS SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAND UP TO REGULAR DRIVING AS WELL AS THE TRACK SINCE THEY PROMOTED IT AS A TRACK READY CAR. SO FAR THE WHEELS ARE HOLDING AIR BUT FOR HOW LONG I DON'T KNOW. AND HOW SAFE IS IT TO BE DRIVING AROUND ON CRACKED WHEELS? I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH GM AND THEY SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS.

MY A8 TRANSMISSION IN MY 2019 CORVETTE BEGAN TO SHIFT IRREGULARLY AT 6K MILES, 10 MONTHS. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GRINDING ROCKS WITH QUARTERS. IT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO VERIFIED IT'S THE TORQUE CONVERTER WHICH HAS CAUSED 'COLLATERAL DAMAGE'
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 vehicles. Hard braking or acceleration may cause the sensing diagnostic module (SDM) to enter a fault state. As a result, the SDM will not provide crash sensing or deploy the necessary air bags in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash, if the air bags do not deploy as designed, the occupants have an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the SDM with updated software, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2018. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 18195.
