Steering-jumping feeling when wheels are turned as far as possible-while moving forward or in reverse after being parked and as you move to leave. Tires feel as they are not just rolling but small hopping feeling.

I have a 2001 Corvette. Since I've owned it, several problems have occurred. The first being the drivers door lock. The car dealer replaced the module twice and then it switch itself. Then the electronic system defaulted where I couldn't start the car (twice). Had to have it towed back to the dealership. Then driving one day the fuel gauge went from showing half a tank all the way to zero. All the fuel warning lights came on. Took it into service and they reprogrammed the computer. The very next day I started the car and the steering wheel lock engaged after the car first started, (I haven't had it in gear yet). This problem concerned me and I stated that to the service manager who immediately stated it couldn't happen if I was driving the car. (really?) they repaired that. Then the gas gauge did it again. Took it in again and they replaced several items in the fuel system. Now, one tank of gas later, the gauge doesn't read properly. The low level light came on and it only took 10 gallons. Took it back into the dealer and they don't know how to fix it so they're talking with GM engineers. Also there were several other 2001 Corvette's in for the identical problem. Now (10/3/03) I have a rental car and don't have any idea when they will be able to fix mine.

While backing out of the driveway consumer attempted to turn the steering wheel, the steering wheel locked up, and the warning buzzer sounded. Vehicle was towed to dealer and the steering actuator was replaced.
