| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Just bought a new 2007 corvette. vehicle "skips sideways" at moderate speeds (30 mph) on rough roads. this is a know gm manufacture defect that was completely fixed in the 2008 corvette. experienced the "skip sideways" on the way home from the chevrolet dealer. vehicle had 26 miles on it when purchased and now has 37 miles on it. i got online to the "corvette forum" and was immediately referred to the sep 07 car and driver magazine article specifically addressing this issue. the professional drivers in the article rate the 2007 corvette steering as "unsatisfactory" and "makes the drivers understandably nervous". i feel that the steering is "unsafe" in the 2007 corvette. gm has "made huge improvements in the chevy's handling" and has completely redesigned the steering in the 2008 corvette. i have requested that gm replace the steering in my 2007 corvette with the 2008 or replace it with a 2008 corvette. *tr |
