WHEEL HOPE ISSUE RESOLVED!!!!!!! - Page 2

C7Driver · 03-07-2014, 12:03 AM

Got my Z51 with A6 on Tuesday, Mar. 4th. The sales guy let me drive it to the gas station for a full tank of premium. As I pulled away from the parking spot I got the full Ackermann Effect. It was 28 degrees so that didn't help. I hope it improves when warmer weather arrives.
My car was pulled for the "audit" process after it was built and arrived at the dealer with 29 miles on it. I know that all the fluids were checked so a low level in the rear diff is not the issue.

I too noticed this while backing out of my driveway or turning tightly into a parking space. Took it to the dealership on Monday and described it to them as what I feel if I accidently leave the front locker turned on in my Jeep while turning. Sounds like the suspension is breaking. When they called me back they said there is a bulletin (#14-03-10-001) dated Feb. 10, 2014 about this. Basically it says the car is operating as designed, but they're looking into it.

Tire Chatter
During hard, slow turns, such as parking, the difference in steering angle of the tires may cause one tire to slide or hop lightly to keep up. This hop of the wide tires may cause a chatter sound. The noise will stop as the wheels are straightened.

I had it on cold mornings, luckily those are few and far between here in FL. None of that lately!

Why is this thread called wheel hope? Are you hoping for something? Its wheel hop I believe? Can the super moderator fix the spelling?

Also why is the word RESOLVED in the thread title when it is not resolved. This is a feature from GM!!!!!!!
