What owners wrote
My 2016 corvette started having high frequency vibrations in steering wheel and interior panels with under 7900 miles of service. I complained to the dealership service department about the problem and found front wheels to be bent and could not balance the wheels properly. The dealership advised me to take my corvette to another dealership that had better equipment than them. The second dealership inspected my corvette and informed me that all four wheels are bent and cannot balance them properly.
I noticed a vibration that would start at about 55 MPH. I took the car in to america's tire to have the wheels balanced and found out that all four wheels were bent. The car has never been raced and has been driven in a normal matter. I have hit some minor potholes but nothing of any consequence.
