Problems with 2017 Chevrolet Corvette WHEELS

3/19/19 discount tire alerted me of crack in my passenger rear wheel 02/12/20 discounted tire alerted me of a crack in my drivers side rear wheel

I went out to my vehicle to drive it to work and saw that i had a low tire pressure warning. the pressure was 19 psi, and normal should be 30 psi. i inflated the tire to normal pressure, and a week later the pressure had dropped to 9psi. i took my vehicle to discount tire assuming i had a tire puncture, but after removing the wheel and tire they immediately detected a crack in the wheel. there was no damage to the wheel noticed during the most recent tire replacement at ~20.4k miles and the previous tires showed no damage from hard or sudden impact. no hard or sudden impacts have occurred since either.

I own a 2017 grand sport corvette and found a crack in passenger rear rim, picture is below. it is a known fact that there are too many crack c7 corvette rims and gm will do nothing about it. i was lucky and noticed psi in tire leaking and monitored, finally went to dealership where inside rim was cracked.

I took my wheels to a shop where they reported that all 4 had bent. in trying to repair them they noted that they wobbled when on a machine and that they seemed prone to being easily bent. also the black powder coating was inconsistent and easily chipped. i noted that others have reported issues with the grand sport wheels. repair cost is unknown, but i now am concerned with continued use of the wheels due to potential bending and cracking issues.

My rear passanger side rim has cracked from normal driving on a 2017 with 6550 miles on it. had the tire replaced, next morning there was no air in tire, took to gm dealership was told rim was cracked, and was not covered under the b to b warranty

An intermittent, slow leak in the passenger rear tire was determined to be due to a crack in the rim. no evidence of a hard impact can be seen on the tire or rim , failure found on 12/26/19

My complaint centers on gm ignoring serious safety issues with cracks in defective wheels on their c7 corvette z06 and gs models potentially causing accidents, injury and deaths due to defective wheels. i was having my tires replaced on my 2017 corvette z06 by discount tire (txd56). manager informed me that right passenger wheel was cracked and will not be able to hold air and could not be repaired, only replaced. i took car to classic chevrolet - grapevine, tx. the service department confirmed crack but said that they were not allowed to make a decision on warranty coverage due to gm policy specific to corvette z06 and gs models. the dealer service department completed an inspection and included following comment: 996 c/s pass side rear wheel cracked. did pra thru gm and gm declined to assist customer. photos of the wheel clearly show the crack but no other damage to the wheel. i called gm customer assist center for further clarification. gm sr. advisor sent a voicemail and email saying that my vehicle was "out of warranty" ( which is not true, as coverage is thru dec 22,2019.) and that there are no defects to the ...

Loosing tire pressure and found both rear wheels were cracked 3/20/2019. dealer said i hit a pothole so they would not be covered under warranty. suspect it was because i drove in sport mode. since then, i have been driving in touring mode and found another crack today 11/25/2019. i don't recall ever hitting a pothole and driving conditions have been safe.

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.

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.

At just less than 5000 miles i was experiencing vibration specially in cars sport mode on my 2017 grand sport corvette. took to tire shop for a wheel balance and was notified three wheels were bent. took car to dealer who acknowledged also wheels were bent in repair order. i was told by dealer bent wheels are not covered under 3yr/ 36k mile warranty. dealer suggested i contact gm. later internet search revealed many other people experiencing bent wheels on this particular corvette model. this is a very serious safety problem as wheels are cracking and could foil completely causing uncontrollable situation.

My grand sport has multiple wheel issues, safety issues. the wheels are prone to cracking and bending. happens often, twice in the last week on 2 different wheels, tires go flat, wheel has to be welded or replaced each incident. tires are not capable of reinstalling multiple times for safety. gm does not want to warranty this situation, costing me hours of lost work, inability to trust the car for regular or pleasure driving and costing me thousands $. now, gm has a multi month back order on replacement wheels (at my cost) and this car has no spare as these are run flat tires. so car becomes useless and unsafe. i understand there are 'thousands' of similar owner situations according to capstone law firm wanting to enlist me in a class action. i prefer a gm swift and fair solution. this is ridiculous for such an expensive car and for the way they are treating us. denying any issues. i don't track or race my car, i'm an older driver who enjoys driving and live in los angeles where i drive 50 miles r/t daily to work at a whopping speed of maybe 20 mph due to traffic on ...

I have had to take my car into the wheel repair company 2 times for cracks in the wheels. the second time there were 2 cracks in the same wheel as the first time i took it in. they welded them to repair.

Cracked rim

After having my corvette back to the dealer numerous times because of a vibration when traveling around 55-60 mph, i was told i had four bent rims, and there was nothing they can do. i contacted gm and they too said, they would not cover the defective wheels. received a warning on my information center that my left rear tire was low on air. i proceeded to remove the tire and found three cracks on the left tire, and i also removed all the other wheels and found the right rear also was cracked. had the vehicle towed to tom hesser chevrolet, and they said, there wasn't anything they could do.
