2016 Chevrolet Corvette owner complaints

I had a slow leak in a rear tire on a z06 wheel. The tire shop fixed the leak and informed me the wheel was bent. The car was bought new and has only 2000 miles on the odo. I cannot recall hitting a large pothole or running over anything

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that the wheels were cracking from the inside. The contact stated that the TPMS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the wheels needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Four rear wheels have cracked leaking air and have no external damage from road hazards. Two were replaced under the new car warranty and two were replaced under gm's purchased extended warranty. The first one, right rear, cracked on 11/19/16 with 18,843 miles on the car. The second one,left rear, cracked on 8/23/17 with 24,332 miles on the car. The third one,left rear, cracked on 8/14/18 with 34,854 miles on the car. The fourth one, right rear, cracked on 10/17/18 with 39,501 miles on the car. Calling the gm hot line I was told to contact my gm service department in regards to this issue. They told me the the wheel was designed to crack to protect the rear suspension !!! This is a huge safety issue. What would happen if that crack lead to a wheel failure at speed? I have all my gm

I was driving down I-20 and my tire warning light came on for the right rear tire. I took the car to discount tire and the technician pulled the tire and said that the rim was cracked and showed me the crack. I believe if I had disregarded the tire warning and just added air I could have had an accident if the rim disintegrated while driving.

Rear rim (20 inch by 12 inch, cast aluminum) cracked in two places. These are the fifth and sixth cracks I've had in two rear rims. Reported it to the dealer and they effectively said "sue GM", won't help me. When the rim cracks, the tire looses air pressure and the car's sensors tell me the air pressure is low. These cracks appear on the inside of the rear wheels without any trauma to the rim. I do have the rim available for inspection upon request. Obviously a cracked rim could result in the rim coming apart while I'm driving resulting in an uncontrollable car and an accident that could be life threatening. Mileage at the moment is 37,201. Pictures of the original cracking were sent to a metalurgy professor who opined the rim was obviously defective. GM refuses to ackno

Normal driving - about 69,000 miles. Rear wheel rim developed cracks in inner bead lip causing complete loss of inflation.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet corvette. The contact stated that there was a failure concerning the rear OEM factory rims.

The dealer also mentioned that they received several complaints for the same model, but various years, concerning the OEM rear rims cracking and the low tire pressure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available. *tt *tr

Started loosing tire pressure on L/R tire, local tire shop informed and showed me that my left rear rim has a crack which causes loos of air. This is a known issue that GM wants to blame on drivers but issue stems from GM using cheaper cast aluminum materials instead of forged materials which are better suited due to the amount of torque that the ZO6 models generated. *Note* GM used forged material on their ZR1 models!!

Experiencing sudden loss of power steering while driving - unsafe condition. Experiencing sudden loss of electric power steering assist while driving. Loss of power steering persists until ignition recycling (stop, put car in park, turn ignition off, turn ignition back on), which seems to clear it. Problem re-occurs intermittently on subsequent drives. Issue has been experienced at multiple MPH (0 to 65 MPH) across more than a month of time. I believe my vehicle is experiencing the recall noted earlier this year (N182182760 in 2025) for power steering unit failures in Corvettes manufactured in my car's timeframe. The recall is still expanding the list of cars associated due to its nascent nature, and I believe mine is one of them. My car was manufactured in 2016 and the manufacturi

My 2016 corvette with 13000 + miles has been in the shop with the ' service rear axle light ' on despite several attempts to fix it. After several trips to the service department they have been unsuccessful. This past week, I was notified by (service supervisor) that they have exhausted all efforts in the attempt to fix my car. I now have to wait for an engineer to be dispatched physically to look into this issue . According to service supervisor , this can take several weeks. I have looked at the internet and have found several corvette owners having/ experiencing the same problem. Is gm looking into this ? Does gm know what the problem is so they can share it here locally ? Why cant my local dealership fix my problem despite working with gm engineers? What are my options? This lig

Known issues with a sub standard torgue coverter causing a shudder and jerky motion the car starts demonstrating accompanied by fluctuating engine rpms. This corvette is equipped with a 8i90 8 speed automatic transmission. Its especially noticeable when cruising at highway speed with the cruise control engaged, however it displays this problem whether the cruise control is engaged or not. This issue seems to have affected about 20,000 corvettes until about the end of october 2016 production dates. Internet research shows tha this is a wide spread problem and there should be a recall on these vehicles that requires gm to replaces the transmission and torque converter
