| Wheel problems |
I have not had this vehicle for a year only have had it for at least 9 months now drove it off the lot brand new only 2 miles on it. My tires are horrible the tread is showing on all 4 tires not only that the suspension on the car is completely unaligned. I have not hit anything or had any accidents in the vehicle at all. This should not be happening. Not only that I took it back to the dealership and they won't do anything about it.
7/11/19 - travelling on the interstate with approximately 1700 miles on a 2019 corvette grand sport I started to notice a vibration while travelling around 65 mph on the interstate. The vehicle now has 3000 miles on it and the vibration has become worse so that it is noticeable at any speed. The vibration can be felt through the entire vehicle, as well as through the steering wheel. Looking at the steering wheel while driving on a straight smooth road it is possible to watch the steering wheel vibrate. On a long road trip the vibration in the steering wheel also started to cause numbness in my hands. 7/15/19 - my first course of action was to have the wheels checked for balance, shifted or broken belt in the tire. The tire repair facility said the balance and tires looked good. (no charge) 7/18/19 - next step was to have the alignment checked. After a minor adjustment to the front end alignment the vibration persisted. (receipt is currently in vehicle at dealership) 7/19/19 - next I took the vehicle to the dealership. They have informed me that all suspension and steering components are good, but all 4 wheels are bent. They also mentioned that there is no damage to the tires or wheels from an outside object such as a curb or road debris. (dealership is to be completing documentation on 7/22/19 regarding possible warranty and safety concern communication to general motors) my concern is that the vibration will continue to get worse and controlling the vehicle will become increasingly difficult.
Continental sport 265/65/r16/ the tire bubbled and popped in the middle of the tread it separated with out any indication. When I started to get onto the interstate it ruptured without being punctured.
My new vehicle was delivered without a spare tire. There is only a fix a flat kit. A fix a flat kit will not "fix" a severely damaged tire. I'm told I can buy a spare tire kit for extra money. Spare tires should be required by law on every new car.
No spare tire given no way to change tire if suffering flat tire or blowout.
