| Wheel problems |
When the vehicle be in 1st gear , it makes a weird noise, I took it to the dealership,they replaced a screw on the rear end but it did no solve the problem. The car only has 16000 miles on it now. I called the car manufacture she said it wasnt nothing they can do. Im afraid the rear end might fall off.
I was driving down the road and hit a small pot hole. The alloy rim of my new c6 Corvette split in half around the circumference causing partial loss of control in traffic. Speed was approximately 40 to 50 mph. It appears the wheel induction welding is flawed. I fear other wheels have the same flaw. At speed, this could be the cause of a fatal accident. I am a mechanical engineer and it appears flawed to me. I have the wheel in my position and I have pictures I can email.
