What owners wrote
Attempting to enter an expressway entrance ramp, I accelerated the vehicle to avoid a car closing rapidly from behind. The car was heading straight and I made no steering input to the the rear end abruptly moved to the right and I was unable to countersteer sufficiently to avoid hitting a vehicle in the lane to my right. This initial collision caused further loss of control within my vehicle and the other vehicle, and we collided a second time.
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.
