The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic, the mechanic discovered that all four rims were pitted and peeled which had caused all four tires to not hold air. The contact was informed that due to the rim defect, all four rims needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but contested that the failure was not related to a manufacturing defect of the rims but was instead related to the roads in the State where the contact resides. The vehicle was not replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

2017 Tahoe Premier 4WD with 53,000 miles. Originally had a tire going low so I took it to a Discount Tire to find leak. Upon inspection, they found significant corrosion on the inside of the wheel. After finding this out, I found that NHTSA along with GM issued a Service Bulletin for this problem. (Bulletin No: 08-03-10-006G). I called GM corporate and put together a case number then took it to a GM dealer for verification. Upon inspection, it was found that all four wheels were severely corroded and needed replacing. I was informed that GM is only giving a 20% assistance on the replacements with $3,800 out of my pocket. I do not agree. This should not just apply to a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty. This is a known defective product from GM and should be replaced with no out of pocket expense to me. This should not be considered normal wear and tear. Furthermore, with the possibility of tire pressure loss, this could cause an accident that could harm my family and potentially others.
