2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE VERHICLE ON I-55 THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH BLINKED AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. I WAS ON AN ELEVATED SECTION OF I-55 NORTH OF LAPLACE, LA. AND THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PULL OFF. I TURNED THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE OFF OF THE ELEVATED PORTION OF I-55 TO THE FIRST EXIT AND PULLED INTO A SERVICE STATION. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND THE LIGHTS WORKED, HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. DROVE TO MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE APPROX 15 MILES AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN. THE LIGHTS WORKED THIS MORNING. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT PROBLEM BUT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *JS

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY LOWBEAM LIGHTS WENT OFF MY HIGHBEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY I CUT MY LIGHTS ON THEY WORKED FOR A SHORT TIME BUT WENT OUT AGAIN. THIS MAY HAVE BEEN OVER A PERIOD OF TIME BUT I JUST NOTICED RECENTLY I HAVE RODE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND EVERYTHING LOOKED DARK AND I TURNED MY FOG LIGHTS ON TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DARKNESS.

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT VERY DANGERIOUS THE NEXT MORNING THEY WORKED FOR A WHILE. LATER THAT DAY THEY WERE NOT WORKING COULDNT DRIVE HOME AFTER WORK. *JS

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE LIGHTS ON THE CAR WENT OUT. AFTER PULLING OFF THE ROAD TO A SERVICE STATION, I NOTICE ALL THE LIGHT WERE WORKING EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVE LIGHT. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE LIGHT ON AND OFF, CHECKING THE FUSES AND FINDING OUT THE HIGH BEAM WERE WORKING. I DROVE HOME WITH HIGH BEAMS. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THE LIGHT WERE WORKING. THEN THAT EVENING, AGAIN THE LOW BEAM WHEN OUT WHILE DRIVING, I REALIZED THAT THEY WORK FOR ABOUT 30 TO 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE CUT OUT EVERY TIME. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND SPOKE WITH THEM. THEY HAVE SAID THAT THIS IS ON GOING ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF. FOR THEY KEEP FUSE BOXES FOR CORVETTES IN STOCK, MAKING A COMMENT THAT THEY DON'T KEEP FUSE BOXES IN STOCK FOR HIS TRUCK. I HAVE CHECK OUT A FEW FORUM AND FOUND OUT THAT HIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT ISSUES FOR THIS MODEL OF CORVETTES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS YOU DEPEND ON THE DEPENDABILITY OF HAVING LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING. IF SOMEONE IS UNPREPARED WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE COULD BE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY OF INDIVIDUALS TO ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE AND IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY WHEN THERE A MULTIPLE RELATED ISSUES ABOUT THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE PRODUCT A SAFE AND RELIABLE PRODUCT FOR THE CONSUMER. AGAIN, THIS NEED TO BE ADDRESS BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUSLY HAPPENS TO SOMEONE, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPEN..UPDATED 05-09-14 *BF *JS .

THIS CAR WAS CONVERTED TO A RACE CAR. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AT ROAD ATLANTA BEFORE TURN 10A. THE ACTIVE HANDLING APPARENTLY CAUSED THE RIGHT BRAKES TO ENGAGE CAUSING A CLOCKWISE SNAP SPIN THAT RESULTED IN HITTING THE INSIDE CONCRETE RETAINING WALL. A YOUTUBE VIDEO IS AVAILABLE AT: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=--X0TR5G_U8&FEATURE=YOUTU.BE ( THE ACCIDENT OBVIOUSLY OCCURS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO.) *TR

AFTER DRIVING HOME APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES FROM WORK WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WORKING, THEY QUIT WORKING AFTER PARKING FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. ALL OTHER LAMPS WORK INCLUDING HIGH BEAMS FOG LIGHTS AND PARKING LAMPS. THE LOW BEAMS WILL NOT TURN ON WITH THE CONTROL SWITCH TURNED ON OR ON THE AUTO ON SETTING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING EARLY MORNING LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS SUDDENLY TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I STILL HAD HIGH BEAMS, BUT BLINDED ONCOMING DRIVERS. AFTER PULLING OFF ROAD, CYCLING IGNITION AND HEADLAMP SWITCH LOW BEAMS STILL INOPERABLE. SEARCHING NHTSA WEBSITE LISTS POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH ENGINE BAY FUSE BOX. COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WITHOUT NOTICE AND WOULD NOT COME ON. WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME THE WENT OUT. I MADE IT HOME USING HIGH BEAMS. LOW BEAMS CAME BACK ON THE NEXT MORNING BUT AFTER MY TESTING THE WOULD GO OUT AFTER APX 15 MINUTES AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON FOR HOURS. *TR

LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT..ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH WHEN I WAS UNAWARE THAT THEY WERE OUT AND ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS MARKING LEFT HAND TURN AND DID NOT SEE ME... *TR
