Description of the problem | My 2016 corvette started having high frequency vibrations in steering wheel and interior panels with under 7900 miles of service. I complained to the dealership service department about the problem and found front wheels to be bent and could not balance the wheels properly. The dealership advised me to take my corvette to another dealership that had better equipment than them. The second dealership inspected my corvette and informed me that all four wheels are bent and cannot balance them properly. Neither dealership will replace the wheels under warranty. Thus far, gm as well, will not replace wheels under warranty. I attest that i have not driven my corvette abnormally nor have hit obstructions or pot holes. I have never driven my corvette on rough, gravel or dirt roads. I do believe this is a very serious safety problem that chevrolet and gm should address before someone has a terrible accident because of these wheels! |
