2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. THE HIGH BEAMS WILL COME ON, THE FOG LIGHTS WORK. LOW BEAMS WILL NOT WORK IN AUTO MODE, OR MANUAL. TESTED DASH BOARD SENSOR, WORKS CORRECTLY, CHANGED LOW BEAM MINI RELAY AND FUSES, TWICE, PROBLEM REMAINS UNRESOLVED. CAN SOMETIMES LEAVE CAR PARKED OVERNIGHT, COME OUT AND LOW BEAMS ARE WORKING AGAIN. NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL WORK AND WHEN THEY WON'T. WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THE OTHER DAY AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WAS UNABLE TO SEE. HAD TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS, OTHER DRIVERS ON ROADWAY WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. TOOK TO DEALER, LOW BEAMS WERE WORKING AT THE TIME AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE PROBLEM WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS THERE. *TT

THE SUPPORT BEARINGS IN THE TORQUE TUBE FOR THE DRIVE SHAFT FAILED. THIS CAUSES A VIBRATION NOISE OF VARIABLE INTENSITY. A SIMPLE INVESTIGATION OF THE PROBLEM REVEALED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE C6 MODELS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V491000 (STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS).

THE REPAIRS HAD YET TO BE COMPLETED AFTER APPROXIMATELY SIX WEEKS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,700. AS OF 2 MONTHS TODAY (10-11-11) I STILL DONT HAVE MY TOP BACK. AS OF 10-17-11 I STILL DONT HAVE A TOP! UPDATED 11/03/2011 *LN *TR

LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY CUT OUT. SINCE THEN, LOW BEAMS ARE OK WHEN CAR IS COLD (IN MORNING OR AFTER SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS) BUT THEN CUT OUT AGAIN AT RANDOM TIME AFTER CAR WARMS UP, AND STAY OFF UNTIL NEXT TIME CAR IS COLD. HIGH BEAMS & FOG LIGHTS WORK FINE, ALL OTHER LIGHTING AND FUNCTIONS WORK FINE. SUSPECT FAILED CONNECTION AT PUNCH-DOWN BOARD INSIDE FUSE BOX FOR CIRCUIT THAT SUPPLIES POWER TO LOW-BEAM RELAY, REQUIRING FUSE BOX REPLACEMENT, AS HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SEVERAL OTHER REPORTED IDENTICAL INCIDENTS IN C6 MODEL CORVETTES (FIRST INTRODUCED IN 2005) THAT I DISCOVERED DURING ONLINE RESEARCH. DEALER WILL DIAGNOSE DURING EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT IN 2 DAYS. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF LIGHTS SUDDENLY CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON UNLIT ROAD. *TR

FREQUENTLY SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING INDICATOR COMES ON AND STABILITY CONTROL IS DISABLED. HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS, BUT PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED BY DEALER. THE LAST 2 TIMES THIS HAPPENED A FRONT WHEEL LOCKED UP FOR A FEW SECONDS CAUSING CAR TO ABRUPTLY SWERVE.

THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM" WARNING ACTIVATES ON MY DASH AND CAR DRIVES ERRATIC. IF I PULL OF THE ROAD AND TURN CAR OFF AND THEN TURN THE CAR BACK ON, THE SYSTEM WILL RESET ITSELF. UNFORTUNATELY THE WARNING RE-ACTIVATES A DAY OR SO LATER. THE CAR ONLY HAS 16,500 MILES ON IT. *KB

MY ACTIVE HANDLING COMES ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON IN MY CORVETTE CAUSING IMMEDIATE UNCONTROLLABLE BRAKING. IT RESULTS IN SWERVING AND DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL WHILE STOPPED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR HAD IT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000. UPDATED 08/01/11*LJ THE CONSUMER REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. UPDATED 08/11/11

WHEN DRIVING THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT APPEARS ON THE DASH. I HAVE HAD THE ORIGINAL RECALL FIX PERFORMED ON MY CAR (ORANGE/RED CLIP) AND HAD THE STEERING WHEEL POSITIONING SENSOR REPLACED. THE PROBLEM IS NOW BACK AGAIN. *TR
