Wheel cracking is by far the dominant theme in 2019 Corvette complaints, accounting for the vast majority of reports filed. Owners across the Z06 and Grand Sport trims describe wheels developing cracks, in some cases losing air slowly over days before the tire pressure warning light triggers, in others discovering visible structural damage without obvious cause. Multiple owners report having more than one wheel crack on the same vehicle. Powertrain complaints are a distant second, with a handful of owners describing shifting or engagement issues. A small cluster of engine-related reports rounds out the complaint picture. Outside the wheel category, a few isolated reports mention other concerns: at least one owner describes doors failing to open after parking, with the emergency roof release also not responding, effectively trapping occupants inside the vehicle.
