“On 3-23-11 while merging onto the expressway, the right rear wheel of my 2008 corvette z-06 broke off at the lug nuts. Because I was accelerating at the time, all the power went to the left rear causing my car to turn violently to the right and smash into the concrete retaining wall. The cause of the accident was a failure in the casting of the aluminum wheel. The police report lists cause as equipment failure,wheel broke off vehicle. The cause is obvious when looking at the vehicle, due to the fact the there was no impact into the wall by the rear of the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #10423374, filed 2011-08, 12,500 miles“I was driving my 2008 CORVETTE Z06 that has 12500 miles on it. I was merging onto I-94 at little mack when my right rear wheel broke off at the lug nuts. When the wheel broke off the car violently turned to the right and slammed into the concrete retaining wall. There is absolutely no damage to the right rear quarter panel. Gm's contention is that the wheel broke off on impact, there was no impact to that part of the vehicle and I have many photos to support what actually happened. Because my car has no damage in the area where the wheel came off the problem is obvious. …”
