Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11385943, filed 2020-12, 4,664 miles“The right front and right rear rims on my Corvette are bent and I have had this car less than 3 years. I have other cars that are much older and have never had a bent rim. This seems to be a common problem with the wide rims on this car and the z06 since the wheel barrels are very wide and have no support by way of the spokes at the far edge.”
NHTSA complaint #11219357, filed 2019-06, 25,000 miles“Loosing tire pressure and found both rear wheels were cracked 3/20/2019. Dealer said I hit a pothole so they would not be covered under warranty. Suspect it was because I drove in sport mode. Since then, I have been driving in touring mode and found another crack today 11/25/2019. I don't recall ever hitting a pothole and driving conditions have been safe.”
NHTSA complaint #11282236, filed 2019-11, 32,000 miles“Rear rim has cracked, have gotten repaired twice and cracked again. Car also has a vibration as if other rims on my car are bent or cracked. I currently do not drive the car very far because I'm afraid of getting strained somewhere. I have replaced the cracked rim with another rim from a rim shop that sales replica wheels”
NHTSA complaint #11363968, filed 2020-10, 20,000 miles“4 bent oem wheels, less than 2,000 miles on car. Never hit a major road hazard, never tracked. Car vibrated at certain speeds ever since I bought it new and I am the 1st owner. I replaced all 4 wheels with aftermarket forged wheels, now - no vibration at all. When you spin the oem rims you can see they are all slightly out of round.”
