Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The right front oem wheel on the vehicle had several spokes that were busted completely in half. There was no abuse to the wheel, no impact or curb rash of any kind. The vehicle has never been raced or operated on any kind of track environment. There have been several reports of the same failure on the www. Corvetteform discussion boards. Gm has ignored the problem and denied any type of compensation or ownership of the problem. I have since replaced the wheel with another oem wheel. This type of catastrophic failure could result in a life and death situation. *js |
