Default Cracked rims

Has anyone had problems with cracked rims and is GM doing anything about replacing them at their cost. This is my second broken rim.

Try a quick google search or forum search and you'll find hundreds of discussions about it, including the failed class action suits and the latest attempt to provide a limited reimbursement (third party).

There have been a lot of threads referencing bent/cracked wheels on the C7 (especially the wide body models). The search feature should give you lots of material to read.

If the form is sent in with all of the required information correctly, a refund should be generated. These are my expectations. Good Luck everyone who has experienced this inherent problem.

If I remember correctly it was not only mileage, but age as well.

An "Advanced search" here will generate about a gazillion such threads, and NO, GM isn't and won't do squat. Quality aftermarket, fully-forged replacements should be factored into the "price-of-admission" for wide-body C7s... period.

Well, I don't know if I would call it pleasurable, but the reading sure would would be informative.
