2017 Chevrolet Corvette owner complaints

Car was vibrating while driving and getting worse. Took to local tire shop for balance. Tire shop informed me I had 2 front and 1 rear bent wheels. Next trip to dealer for warranty work asked to have bent wheels replaced. Bent wheels were documented on work invoice but replacement was denied. Note wheels have never been inspected for cracks but do currently hold air.

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

Tire rack in south bend indiana went to replace my corvettes tires and when they removed the rear wheels they identified two cracks. Due to safety policy's they could not remount my tires or pout new tires on the wheels... I was stuck so I called GM to discuss. GM opened a case for me and said that is all they could do at the time. I purchased new wheels to get the car back on the road and waited for GM to call. They never did so I called and the customer service lady set up an appointment at the nearest dealer to inspect the cracked wheels. I traveled to the the dealer for the appointment and of coarse they didn't know anything about the GM ticket and sent me away. I called GM again and set me up another appointment with a different dealer and assured me the issue would get resolved. I tr

My rear rims cracked mulitple times. I had gotten them fixed but got tired of fixing them and accumulated around 5-8 cracks in total for my rear rims.

The rear passenger wheel developed two cracks in the inner outside edge of rim. Cracks appeared with no noticeable road trauma/debris/collision. First indication was slow leak of air from tire. Tire was inflated and vehicle was driven two more times. On the second drive of approx 10 miles, air had leaked out of the tire. On the third drive of approximately 3 miles, the tire would not hold air. Tire was removed and cracks discovered in rim.

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

Wheels bend out of round during normal use..dangerous and is a manufacturers defect that Chevrolet will not acknowledge.. I am aware of several instances with other c7 grand sport owners this should be addressed by Chevrolet. Fixed at no charge to the owners... The wheel could sheer of the car and result in a serious accident and fatalities

Had new tires put on car as they showed wear on the inside only 19000 miles but was told I had two bent rims and they needed to be replaced. Car has been pampered and no way should have damaged rims. Car is a weekend driver / show car with about 6500 miles a year. They are upgraded aluminum factory rims. Warranty is up in april 2020 but are not covered as dealer says its from my use.

Left rear tire had been leaking about 1 pound a week, took it to dealer and he found a crack in the wheel. Gm and dealer said it was caused by pot hole or speed bump even though there was no tire damage. The car is still in dealer shop waiting to have new wheel installed.

An intermittent, slow leak in the left 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 (internally or externally). No specific instance of an impact with a road hazard is recalled or associated with the wheel failure. Failure discovered on 12/16/19

2 bent wheels traveling from tucson to memphis. Pot hole on interstate in tenn. 2 more bent wheels on return trip in nm. A pot hole on the interstate.

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

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that the TPMS warning light had illuminated on the instrument panel. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that the rear passenger’s and driver’s rims were cracked. The driver’s side rim had one crack and the passenger’s side rim two cracks. The vehicle had yet to be serviced or diagnosed for the failure. The dealer nor the manufacturer have yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

Noticed a vibration in the car at highway speeds. Took the vehicle into the dealer and was told that the wheel was bent. Service manager stated that this was happening to many corvettes and was due to the stiffness of the tire and the weakness of the factory wheel. Gm has denied a claim under warranty.

My 2017 corvette z06 convertible has 4 bent wheels, including one that is cracked and leaking air. I have not hit any pot holes or anything that would cause the wheels to bend or crack. Gm had denied 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty claim to replace the wheels at 4000 miles in 6/2019. Car presently has 6000 miles on it. The cracked wheel will eventually get worse, possibly causing a catastrophic wheel failure while driving.

The rear tire on my grand sport started leaking air. I took it to the dealership and was told it was repaired. It was leaking again the next day and I took it back again and I was again told it was fixed. I took it back and was advised the rim had two cracks. Estimated repair cost 1,305 to start out and that it would not be covered under the warranty. I contacted Chevrolet and the next day I received a call from the dealership. Long story short they cut me a deal on the repairs and reduced my cost to 620.00. I was not happy but I love the car and I hated to have an expensive car sitting the garage and on top of that unreliable. I gave in and paid the 620.00 bucks and I am concerned about it happening again or too one of the other rims. I am disappointed in Chevrolet. My friend is

I had a rear right wheel leaking air. Figuring that i was a slow leak, I took it to my local Discount Tire shop for repair. The informed me that the tire was fine and that it was the rim that was leaking. As it turns out all but 1 of my factory GM wheels had cracks in them. After doing a litle research I've learned that this is a massive issue with the Corvette C7 factory wheels. The wheel have been bending, cracking and breaking. As of right now GM has not taken ownership of this dangerous issue. My understanding is that lawsuits are now pending.

March of 2019: I had unexpected flat tires, one front and one rear. There was no warning nor reason to suspect any damage. Took the car to the shop and had cracked wheels. As most Corvette owners, I pamper this car and would know/remember hitting anything. I replaced the wheels at my expense after getting no help from the Chevrolet dealer. The attached photo shows there was no impact- just a big crack. December 2021: I have one unexpected rear flat tire. Found another crack. Unexpected flat tires without warning is an obvious safety concern for me and anyone around me as I drive. After looking on the internet, there are 100's of complaints about this and multiple class-action lawsuits. This should be forced to be a recall and the government should step in. I am surprised that thi

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet corvette. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the programming that controlled the heating independently functioned and would not allow the occupant to manually operate it. When the switch that controlled the roof was pressed, the manual control feature returned; however, the heating element functioned at approximately 151 degrees independently. The contact stated that the programming that controlled the switch used for the roof independently controlled the heating elements. The contact stated that the verbiage in the owner's manual did not indicate that in the climate control setting section. The failure recurred constantly. The vehicle was taken to charles auto family in garrettsville, oh, 330-577-5089, where it was stated that the failure was an unkn
