Wheels on these cars commonly crack and break online. Mine have a visible crack in one of them and is losing air due to quality of wheel from Chevrolet
NHTSA complaint 11632251Multiple rim cracks due to manufacturing error. General Motors had acknowledged this but not made reimbursement possible nor provided information if defective rims are still being produced. My car was inspected and rim was repaired by a Chevy dealer and confirmed to have a cracked rim in several spots deemed not due to road damage or driver error. Wheel issues can pose an extreme safety threat as a crack in the rim could make the tire unstable thus creating unsafe driving conditions … cracks in rims can be hard to see at all as well
NHTSA complaint 11627601Inside lip of rear wheel cracked and wheel bent beyond repair, per wheel repair company. OEM make and model tire was in place and no noticeable impact was felt to cause this failure. This caused an air leak leaving me stranded at the side of the highway. Had to buy an expensive replacement wheel.
NHTSA complaint 11550568Vehicle had a shake, and felt like it was shifting wrong. Apparently, Two of the four rims have were confirmed cracked which led to an unsafe vehicle for travel. The vehicle had approximately 15,230 miles on the tires and rims when air was leaking out. All four tires were shot. All four tires and all four rims had to be replaced.
NHTSA complaint 11542753Rear wheel cracked in 4 places inside rim towards outside causing slow leak. Could eventually crack enough to cause wheel to fail.
NHTSA complaint 11486702Purchased the vehicle February 2018. In September 2019, I replaced the tires and within a few days, I started losing air pressure. Both rear wheels cracked. I tried to get GM to honor the 36 month bumper to bumper warranty but they refused. I purchased replacement wheels at my own expense. In June 2022, after 9000 miles, the car started driving rough so I brought it to the dealership. Both the driver side wheels, front and back, are bent.
NHTSA complaint 11471614Prior to warranty expiration I took my car to be checked for vibration at highway speed. McMulkin Chevrolet NH told me they had to change the fluid in the transmission. This did nothing for the problem. During this time the drivers side tires would lose tire pressure faster than what is acceptable. At no time did the dealer mention the wheel cracking and warping problem experienced by this model vehicle. A year later I am experiencing excessive air leakage on three wheels. Upon further inspection I have found that the three tires have stress cracks. If I had known about the wheel defect I would have taken action sooner. I find this to be a dangerous safety related policy by GM to not alert the owners of these vehicles to the widespread problem.
NHTSA complaint 11431838Failure was the right rear wheel cracked in two places causing tire to go flat on highway . A flat tire could cause the vehicle to go out of control in traffic resultion in a serious accident causing injury or death Dealer Bob Huff Chevolet of Wrythville Va diagnosed and confirmed the problem and initially Walmart tire and service attempted to diagnose and fix the tire thinking a nail had beenj picked up causing a air leak but discovered the cracked wheel in two places causing air loss wrs . A new wheel was ordered by Bob Huff Chevy and installed by them. GM is well aware of the cracked wheels and refuse to do anything about it calling the bad wheels a result of road hazards and potholes etc. When the tire loses air the low tire warning light comes on and more air must be installed but as i was stranded on Easter Saturday and Sunday waiting too order a new wheel making it impossible to travel as i could only get about 25 miles after putting additional air in the tire.
NHTSA complaint 11417801I PURCHASED MY 20018 CORVETTE Z06 IN DECEMBER OF 2020 AND BECAUSE THIS WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE I ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED 6 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I DROVE CAR OFF THE LOT AND DROVE IT FOR A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A SLOW LEAK IN THE DRIVER REAR TIRE AND TOOK IT TO BE REPAID AND THE DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY SAID THAT IT WAS CRACKED WITH A FAILING REPAIR. I THEN LOOKED TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THIS UNSAFE SITUATION AND THEY INFORMED THEY COULDN'T COVER UNDER ANY OF MY WARRANTIES AND THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE NOT THEIRS I ALSO TOOK OFF ALL 4 WHEELS TO SEE IF OTHERS WERE CRACKED AND 1 ADDITIONAL FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS CRACKED AND REPAIRED SO I HAVE 2 THAT ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON. I ALSO CONTACTED CHEVROLET CONSUMER AFFAIRS WHO AFTER A MONTH FINALLY GOT BACK TO ME TO SAY THAT IT IS THE ROADS NOT THE WHEELS SO THEY ARE NOT COVERING THIS ISSUE UNLESS AND UNTIL A LAWSUIT IS SUCCESSFUL IN CREATING A RECALL CAMPAIGN. WITH THAT SAID AM LOOKING TO JOIN A LAWSUIT BECAUSE I HAVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE WITH THAT GM KNOWINGLY IS CONTINUING TO DENY AND SOMEONE MAY LOSE THEIR LIFE BY CRASHING AFTER A BLOWOUT THAT MOST LIKELY COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY GM STEPPING UP AND TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR SELLING US FAULTY CAST WHEELS.
