2005 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF FOR NO REASON AND WILL NOT TURN ON TILL THE CAR IS STONE COLD VERY DANGEROUS. *JS

AFTER ABOUT 30MINS OF RUN TIME LOW BEAM LIGHTS WOULD SHUT OFF. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR A MIN 30MINS LOW BEAMS WOULD WORK AGAIN. FEB2013 LOW BEAMS WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. *TT

WHILE DRIVING DURING THE EVENING AROUND 9 PM ENTERING A SHARP CURVE MY LIGHTS WENT OUT AND CAUSING THE CAR TO DIP OFF THE ROAD. THE CIRCUMSTANCES COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE HAD IT BE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T A RECALL. A CAR'S LIGHTS TURNING OFF IN THE NIGHT HOW MUCH MORE DANGEROUS DOES THIS NEED TO BE? NOT ONLY IS THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AT RISK BUT OTHER MOTORIST AS WELL. CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF TIME THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED THIS WILL CERTAINLY HAVE A MEDIA STORM ATTACHED TO IT IF UNFORTUNATELY IT RESULTS IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

MY CAR STARTED HAVING INTERMITTENT LOW BEAM OUTAGES AS I WAS DRIVING. WHEN I SAY INTERMITTENT, I MEAN NOT EVERY TIME I WAS DRIVING WOULD THE LOW BEAMS GO OFF. BUT WHEN THEY DID GO OFF, THEY STAYED OFF UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. LUCKILY MY SIDE LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS CONTINUED TO WORK. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, THEY GO OUT PROBABLY 99% OF THE TIME. I RECENTLY GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND SAW WHERE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 CORVETTE. *TR
