Bought this C7 Corvette new in 2014. I've had the car in 3 times for servicing and each time the GM Corvette dealer (Forbes) tells me the problem is normal with the C7. The car makes a crunching sound when backing up or going forward and turning hard left or right. The front tire also skips when making a tight left or right turn (forward or reverse). Dealer says the crunching noise is normal for Brembo brakes. I can't understand how this is normal or related the Brembo brakes. My guess is the crunching problem is related to the differential but this doesn't explain the tire skipping. The car also has a constant burning smell when driving and smells like antifreeze, however, fluid levels appear normal. The car only has 3,000 km and the problems have occurred since new.
