WHEELS

121 complaints

Two of the wheels of my 2019 Corvette have cracked. GMC has turned this issue over to Analytics Consulting LLC to reimburse those owners that have had a problem with cracked wheels. I submitted a claim for one of the wheels, in July of 2025 and have yet to hear from them. In the mean time I had another wheel crack but I can not claim that one because it's beyond the date they set. I contacted GMC and their response was they couldn't do anything for me. My point in this whole matter is that I've had two wheels crack but I still have two that might crack. GMC admits to defective wheels and yet there was never a recall. They are playing Russian roulette with Corvette wheels that are on the road daily. I've had costly repair bills for wheels that were defective when GMC put them on my car. These wheels could crack at any point while I'm driving or God forbid when my wife is driving. She doesn't want to ride in the car anymore because she feels it's unsafe. I can't sell it because I would have to affirm that these wheels might crack. Who would buy my car? The value of my dream car has plummeted. I'd like reimbursed for the two I've already paid for and all four wheels replaced with wheels that have been tested and new ones that are proven to be safe. Is it too much to ask GMC to build safe cars? They say it is important to them that the customer satisfaction and safety is utmost. I'm asking them to live up to that so I need your help to see that they do.

POWER TRAIN

8 complaints

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle shook and shuddered abnormally. The contact stated that the failure had been constant since purchasing the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact believed that the shudder was due to the high-performance engine. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact stated that during an alignment at a dealer, the service technician informed the contact that the shudder was a known failure caused by the transmission fluid, causing the torque converter to shudder whenever the accelerator pedal was depressed. The technician provided the contact information on TSB: 19-NA-018. The contact stated that the vehicle had not been diagnosed by the service technician using a diagnostic machine. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

A 2019 Corvette with 3,400 miles began to demonstrate a transmission torque converter shutter. This became rapidly and progressively worse causing driving to resemble being on a washboard road surface. The servicing dealer was familiar with the problem with this transmission and did resolve the issue with an expensive transmission fluid flush and exchange.

GM has a well known issue with the transmission fluid used in assembly on a range of cars and dates which include my 2019 Corvette. The fluid used fails/ is defective. The process to fix the issue is to flush the fluid out and put in a different fluid. In the case of my Corvette, it actually requires a very expensive triple flush to ensure all of the original Dexron fluid has been removed and is replaced my Mobil fluid. The process is explained in an 18 page service bulletin 18-NA-355. This bulletin states that if a customer comes in complaining of shake/shudder during acceleration between 25 to 80mph or when the trans is not actively shaking, then there is no need to further diagnose. Just follow the procedure in the service bulletin. In other words, there is no need to investigate further because we already know what the problem is which is the defective Dexron fluid. This was my exact experience with the shake/shudder and the triple flush completely fixed the issue. My vehicle has 17k miles on it so this was no a normal maintenance issue nor would you expect a full flush of transmission fluid at 17k or really at any point. Perhaps adding some fluid at some point would be reasonable. Having to completely remove all traces of the assembly line fluid with a completely different fluid clearly indicates a defect in the original Dexron. The service bulletin clearly indicates GM knows that the Dexron is defective. A final note, a quick web search of this issue will bring up pages of threads of people who have experienced this exact issue. Please hold GM responsible for their error. Thanks

My 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the transmission system along with the torque converter began to malfunction as the car seemed to change from different modes. This malfunction caused the transmission to shudder, which caused a very bad vibration while accelerating and driving between the speed of 25-70mph. These actions or behaviors by the car surely poses a control and stability risks well as a safety risk for everyone on the highway and to myself. This issue was confirmed by the GM dealership I took the car to on 8/23/2024 and they said they could not get to it until 9/9/2024 and they will have to do a triple transmission fluid flush based on a service bulletin (TSB 18-NA-335) which was issued by General Motors. My car gave me no warning by way of lights or messages within the car. I would like to know why this repair is not covered under the service bulletin since General Motors knows this is a issue with the cars.

In my 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, the transmission system began to malfunction, specifically related to the torque converter. This malfunction caused the transmission to shudder, creating a noticeable vibration during acceleration and driving. The unpredictable behavior of the vehicle due to the shuddering compromised control and stability, posing a risk to my safety and the safety of others on the road. The problem was confirmed by the dealership's service center, which performed a transmission fluid flush according to the service bulletin (TSB 18-NA-355) issued by General Motors. Although there were no specific warning lamps or messages, the shuddering symptom appeared several months before the repair. The dealership corrected the issue by performing the necessary service, which cost me $853.52, an amount I paid under protest as I believe it should have been covered under the service bulletin. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request, and the dealership, acting as an authorized representative of the manufacturer, diagnosed and addressed the issue.

My vehicle has been a legacy gmc dealership in Slidell la for three months now waiting on a replacement engine from a factory failure. And I have no clue when and if I will ever get it back because all General Motors is says is that the engine is on back order and from what I’m reading they discontinued this engine back in 2023. They haven’t helped me with anything I been paying my car note and renting a vehicle at my cost and they’re doing nothing. And I can’t get them to give me any info on if or when this will get fixed . Meanwhile, this is putting a huge financial burden on me and my family and GM doesn’t give [XXX][ about it. Companies like this be allowed to just walk over people with no record of their actions. Thank you for any help with this. I’ve reached out to everyone and no one will help.

STEERING

2 complaints

LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST AT 198, 213, 268, 305, AND 314 MILES. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW ON JUNE 29, 2019 AND NOW HAS 322 MILES ON IT. INCIDENTS OCCURRED WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH, ON A HIGHWAY CURVE AT 55 MPH, ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT 25 MPH, AND COMING TO A STOP IN A TURN LANE. DEALER I WENT TO AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE RESET THE CODE (CO47A) AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD RETURN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT. SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS ON GM RECALL N182182760 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 19V086000

Jul 08, 2019

VEHICLE MAKES A BUMPING , GRINDING METALIC NOISE WHEN TURNING SLOWLY IN EITHER DIRECTION. OR IN REVERSE. IT HAS BEEN SEEN BY TWO DEALERS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LAST TIME I WAS GIVEN A BULLETIN (#14-03-10-001D) 3-2-17, FROM CHEVROLET STATING THAT THIS WAS TYPICAL OF MANY CORVETTES DUE TO "ACKERMANN EFFECT" CAUSING TIRE CHATTER WHEN TURNING SLOWLY AT A TIGHT ANGLE. MY VEHICLE DID NOT EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM UNTIL APPROX.1,000 MILES AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND IT NOW HAS OVER 4,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR IN A DRIVING RAIN WITH SLICK PAVEMENT, AND THE NOISE IS EVEN LOUDER, SO THAT IF TIRE CHATTER WERE THE PROBLEM, I WOULD THINK THAT THE NOISE WOULD GO AWAY, OR AT LEAST LESSEN SOMEWHAT. IT DID NOT. IT IS MY OPINION THAT AT SOME POINT, THIS CAR'S FRONT SUSPENSION WILL BREAK, POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN,WHEELS

1 complaint

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the RPM decreased to 1,200 and the vehicle started to shudder and shake. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle to the residence. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer to be inspected. The dealer performed a transmission flush to fix the failure however, the failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle back to the local dealer who inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the vehicle with 3 bent wheels. The wheels were not replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,399. Per the dealership, the bent wheels are not covered under warranty and the problem is the result of normal wear-and-tear. However, I found numerous complaints on the internet stating GM made the wheels with inferior material that is "cast, rather than forged, and is of insufficient strength to withstand the torque and power input from the drivetrain," I am now scared to drive the car because the bent wheels or a safety hazard and will more than likely start to crack which could result in causing a wreck. At this time the only way to correct the failure is to purchase new wheels if I wish to continue to drive the car and prevent from being a safety hazard or causing a collision.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2019 CORVETTE ZR1. I WAS DRIVING WHEN I HEARD A LOUD RATTLE SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT BUMPER AREA. DURING THIS TIME THE FRONT END OF MY CAR BECAME HARD TO CONTROL. I SLOWED DOWN, PARKED THE CAR AND INSPECTED THE FRONT END. UPON INSPECTION I SAW THAT MY FRONT SPLITTER HAD NEARLY DISCONNECTED FROM MY CAR. I TRIED TO DRIVE SLOWLY AND MAKE IT HOME BUT THE SPLITTER WAS SCRAPING AND I DIDN'T FEEL THAT IT WAS SAFE. I ALSO DIDNT WANT TO CAUSE ANY MORE DAMAGE. UPON INSPECTION FROM A SHOP IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CENTER SUPPORT BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE FRONT SPLITTER ON PROPERLY WAS NEVER INSTALLED ON MY DURING PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL OTHER ZR1 OWNERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO WE NOW BELIEVE THAT SOME CHEVY DEALERS ARE FORGETTING TO PUT THIS CENTER SUPPORT BRACKET ON DURING PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION WHICH WE BELIEVE CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE HAVE INFORMED CHEVY ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT THEY HAVE NOT RESPONDED.

SEAT BELTS

1 complaint

THE LAP-SHOULDER BELT WILL NOT REMAIN IN THE SEAT BELT GUIDE AS IT SHOULD. THEREFOR THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT FIT OVER THE SHOULDER AND ACROSS THE CHEST OF SMALLER ADULTS OR OLDER CHILDREN AS REQUIRED TO KEEP THEM SAFE IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. THE SEAT BELT COMES OUT OF THE GUIDE WHEN MOVING AND AT TIMES WHEN STATIONARY. THE GAP IN THE GUIDE IS TOO LARGE. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE SO PREVALENT THAT AN AFTER MARKET CLIP IS ON THE MARKET TO HOLD THE SEAT BELT INTO PLACE.
