## Narrative
From the day the vehicle was delivered, all four tires were losing air daily. No disclosure of punctures or defects was made by the dealership.  After one week, a tire went flat and I purchased new replacement tires. Multiple shops, including Costco, refused to install the tires because they did not have equipment capable of working with carbon fiber wheels.  A specialized exotic-car shop (Enzo Auto Center) attempted the installation. During the process, one of the carbon fiber wheels spontaneously ruptured/exploded, causing multiple fractures to the technician’s hand and arm. He required emergency medical treatment.  After the incident, even an authorized Chevrolet dealership was unable to mount the tires, indicating a possible manufacturing or structural defect in the wheel assembly.  The vehicle has now been inoperable for more than 2 months, and the dealership has not provided a resolution.  This is a severe safety hazard, involving:  catastrophic wheel failure,  structural integrity concerns,  risk of further injuries,  and total loss of vehicle usability.  An immediate investigation is requested.
