2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT MY LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY GO OUT LEAVING THE ROAD IN DARKNESS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I AM TOLD THE UNDER HOOD FUSE BOX IS DEFECTIVE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON MANY 2006 CORVETTES. GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

I JUST GOT IT OUT OF THE SHOP YESTERDAY AGAIN FOR THE THOUSANDS TIME AND NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT THE BRAKE LIGHT THE TIRE LIGHT ON THE DASH IS ON. THIS CAR IS A NIGHTMARE. I HAVE PAID SO MUCH MONEY TO NEVER ENDING DRAMA. HELP I BEG YOU. THE CAR HAS CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO THE CLUTCH FLUID LEAKING EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK HAS HAS BEEN REPLACED.TALK ABOUT A LEMON. NO LEMON LAW WILL HELP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 CORVETTE AT NIGHT AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF, I WAS SURPRISED AND CONFUSED BUT WAS ABLE TO TURN MY HIGH BEAMS ON, I PULLED OVER AND TESTED ALL THE LIGHTS, ONLY THE LOW BEAMS DID NOT WORK, FROM THERE I USED THE FOG LIGHTS INSTEAD OF THE HIGH BEAMS SO NOT TO BLIND OTHER DRIVERS AND GOT HOME. I LIVE IN A SUBURBAN AREA OF MY COUNTY WHERE THERE ISN'T MUCH STREET LIGHTING, WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT WAS VERY SCARY, LUCKILY I DIDN'T CRASH INTO ANYONE OR ANYTHING. THE NEXT NIGHT I TESTED THE LIGHTS AND THEY CAME ON FINE, BUT AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES THEY SHUT OFF AGAIN, USED THE FOG LIGHTS SO I COULD SEE SOME OF THE ROAD, BUT VISIBILITY IS LOW. I WORK AT NIGHT SO NOW I JUST TURN THE FOG LIGHTS ON WHEN I START THE CAR SO WHEN THE LOW BEAMS TURN OFF I'LL HAVE SOME TYPE OF LIGHT. THE LOW BEAMS TURN OFF EVERY TIME I USE THE CAR, ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES INTO DRIVING THE CAR. THE ONLY NIGHT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WAS WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COOL, I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA BUT ONE NIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 59 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ABOUT 45 MINUTES WITHOUT THE LOW BEAMS TURNING OFF. I'VE READ SOME CASES THAT SAY THE LOW BEAMS TURN OFF BECAUSE OF SOMETHING IN THE FUSE BOX OVERHEATING, I'M ASSUMING THIS IS WHY THEY WORKED ON A COLD NIGHT. THANKS IN ADVANCE. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS JUST TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON DASH FOR NO REASON. IT COMES ON AND GOES OFF PERIODICALLY FOR NO REASON. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO A YELLOW WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, HE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A TURN WHEN IT STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V172000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO ILLUMINATE. ATTEMPTING TO TOGGLE BETWEEN THE AVAILABLE POSITIONS ON THE HEADLIGHT STALK WILL NOT CAUSE THE LIGHTS TO TURN ON. DASH INDICATES THAT LIGHTS ARE ON, BUT THEY ARE NOT. THIS IS UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED, BUT TERRIFYING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. *TR

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT COME ON AND IF YOU ARE SOMEWHERE AFTER DARK, YOU ARE FORCED TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ONLY WHICH IS DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS TO OTHER DRIVERS. I AM TAKING THE CAR IN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ARMED WITH INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE WITH THE CORVETTE LOW BEAM LIGHTS AND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE NHTSA AND THE PROBLEM IS UNDER REVIEW. THERE IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SITES LIKE CORVETTE FORUM. *TR
