I知 right on wheels
At dealer for wheel alignment yesterday, one of the techs confirmed that a Z06 come of the car hauler went straight to PDI where they confirmed one of the wheels was bent. From Bowling Green to Atlanta straight off truck. Hey GM you listening you are sending out Corvettes with bent wheels when buyer discovers it oh you must to have hit a pot hole. I call BS the kind of money these cars costs the wheels need to be stronger and quit playing with your buyers.

Unbelievable Z51, GM is dropping the ball big time on these C7Zs. They do realize they are losing some of Their best customers over all the different issues (wheels, over heating, paint, E-Diff failures, Alignments, comp seats etc). They are soo open to lawsuits the longer they ignore us. My first vet, I did love it but I知 scared to push it anymore. If GM keeps this ignoring attitude up it will be mine and many of my friends last GM vehicle. 100k vehicle to boot...this is how a company that is Failing acts.

Saw a GM video FROM THE PLANT showing how they drive all the cars over SERIOUS HIGH SPEED BUMPS to settle the suspension factory settings. Claim it isn't fast/severe enough to bend/crack wheels BUT HAVE THEY TESTED 20 out each hundred to make sure? Doubt it. If the car is driven by a human I can see where someone could get real froggy trying for a new best 60' time.

Yeah, starting at 16:50, and particularly at 17:03. That's a lot rougher than anything I've ever run my car over.

Nah, I just wanted to make it easier for others to find, since I thought it was worth seeing. After I found it, I clicked at the bottom right of the video to open it in Youtube, then copied and pasted the youtube address into the post.
