The left rear wheel of this vehicle has two major cracks in it. The tire has had a slow leak for the past couple of months as indicated by the low-tire warning light on the dashboard. I took it to a Discount Tire Outlet in an effort to find and repair the leak, and upon inspection the technician found the two cracks and pointed them out to me. Obviously, if the tire were to blow out at any speed it would endanger the lives of me and any of my passengers, as well as the people in other vehicles around me. The vehicle manufacturer, General Motors, is very well aware of this problem as it has received a number of lawsuits over this specific issue. To date, General Motors has refused to replace these defective wheels, or to provide any other type of relief to Corvette owners.

Left rear tire was going flat regularly.I took it to the tire store and they said all parts of tire were ok but the Wheel was Cracked. The first warning I had was Dec 29,2020 and then Dec 20,2021-It had been examine by dealers and nothing was said. It began regularly Dec 9,2023 and will go down between 2 days and 2 weeks since. I took it into Folsom Chevrolet on March 5 and they said the tires were ok ,but nothing about the wheel. I took it to tire America on March 23 and they found the wheel crack.

My right rear tire developed a slow leak, losing approximately 2 pounds per day. I added air to the tire until I had the opportunity to go to my local Chevrolet dealer, Rick Hendrick Chevy. They inspected the wheels and tires. They found cracks in both rear and the right front wheels. I have read about this situation for several years and had hoped I wasn't going to have this problem. This situation is widespread throughout all seventh generation (C7) Z06 and Grand Sport Corvettes. I know that Chevy dealers are instructed to say they have no knowledge of this issue there are hundreds of cases reported in The Corvette Forum. Several owners sought arbitration through the Better Business Bureau and won. Chevrolet is still blaming drivers for the wheel problems and they refuse to pay for the repairs. The estimate I received on Saturday, February, 3rd, 2024 is $6,226. It's no coincidence that Chevy decided to install forged wheels instead of the cast wheels that are involved in this. If you...
