There are already a few reports on the skipping and hopping at low speeds when the wheels are locked all the way left or right while turning. I experienced this on delivery and have owned the car for 9 months. Since the cold weather has arrived the issue has gotten even more severe, like the front end is going to fall off. Chevrolet will not admit to this problem/issue but it is a generally know issue related to the "ackerman" effect. Motortrend identified it and resorted to saying the 2014 Corvette is no parking lot car. Chevrolet still has no comment. Had I known about this I personally would not have bought the vehicle. In my opinion Chevrolet has a fiduciary responsibility to make the buyer aware. Also, if you see some of the blogs on Corvettes it is also acknowledged there. I have been to the dealer about it and they are clueless. They gave me an explanation that didn't hold water to me and they even drove the car and duplicated the movement. I have now asked for a face to face with the factory rep.

When steering is turned all the way in either direction, the front wheels seem to hop.

At low speeds when you have the wheels turned in either direction all the way the tires seem to hop happens really bad in reverse.
