Purchased the vehicle with 7944 miles, currently has around 11,000. One of the tires was leaking air so had an auto repair shop look at all the tires and rims. THREE of the rims are cracked. I am not driving the vehicle for safety reasons.

NHTSA ODI report, 2023-09-06

I had 2 rear 2019 Corvette grand sport OEM wheels crack, and leak air requiring expensive replacement, I also have the other 2 original wheels now bent.

NHTSA ODI report, 2023-09-05

Unlike my rear-left wheel (See complaint #11192823) which has four cracks and loses about 24 psi per day, my right-rear wheel isn't losing any air (Yet). However I pulled the it off tonight and discovered two cracks developing on it as well.

Can smell gas fumes after filling gas tank. Had independent shop analyze problem and codes indicated a cracked fuel pump module. This is a serious hazard because fuel can leak onto exhaust or heat shield and cause a fire.
