2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Complaints

TRAVELING AT 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY, I BRAKE AND PRESSED THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO DOWN SHIFT TO MAKE AN EXIT. I EXITED, MADE THE TURN AND STARTED ACCELERATING. I NOTICE A LOSS OF POWER AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. THERE WAS NO MESSAGE THAT THE ACTIVE HANDLING WAS ENGAGED. I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. ALL WAS FINE WHEN I DROVE AGAIN. HOWEVER, IT KEEPS HAPPENING SPORADICALLY WITHOUT ANY CAUSE. ONCE THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM LIT ON THE CONTROL PANEL BUT AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE IT HAS NOT APPEARED AGAIN. YET, THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM(OR SOMETHING) KEEP TAPPING THE BRAKES MAKING THE CAR LOSE POWER AND THE STEERING SHAKE. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THE LOW BEAMS ON MY CAR. THEY TURN OFF WHEN I AM DRIVE AT NIGHT WHICH MAKES ME DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE SO I HAVE TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT. TONIGHT I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER SLOWED DOWN AND SWERVED TOWARDS MY CAR TRYING TO RUN ME OFF ROAD BECAUSE MY HIGH BEAMS WERE ON. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST INCIDENT, SOME ONE GOT INTO MY LANE THEN GOT BACK INTO THE OTHER LANE SLOWED FOR ME TO PASS THEM THEN GOT VERY CLOSE TO THE BACK OF MY CAR AND PUT THERE HIGH BEAMS ON THEY WERE IN A TRUCK AND THERE LIGHTS WERE BLINDING. WHICH MADE IT VERY HARD FOR ME TO SEE. I KNOW THAT IS HOW IT IS FOR CAR THAT ARE IN FRONT OF ME. I AM AFRAID SOMEONE IS GOING TO TAKE THERE RAGE FARTHER THEN JUST A SWERVE. DOES THIS HAVE TO BECOME DEADLY BEFORE CHEVY RECALLS THIS PROBLEM. *TR

3RD TIME NOW THE LOW BEAMS JUST SHUT OFF. YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR COOL DOWN BEFORE THEY WILL WORK. I WAS GOING AROUND A CORNER ON A DARK ROAD WHEN THE FAILED AND I WENT OFF THE ROAD. HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH HIGH BEAMS ON WHICH WAS VERY UNSAFE FOR OTHER DRIVERS. *TR UPDATED 09/02/15 *BF *TR

LOW LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN ON MANUALLY. THE HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS WOULD WORK BUT NOT THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS. AFTER SETTING ALL NIGHT THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WORK AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 10 DAYS. *TR..UPDATED 09-01-15 *BF *TR

LOW LIGHTS SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN ON MANUALLY. THE HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS WOULD WORK BUT NOT THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS. AFTER SETTING ALL NIGHT THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WORK AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. *TR

TRAVELING AT 45MPH,RIGHT REAR BRAKE APPLIED. CAR VEERED TO RIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON DIC. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER, WHO HAD CAR FOR 20 DAYS. REPLACED EBCM,STEERING SENSOR,TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH,CLEANED GROUNDS AND CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS. CAR WAS DELIVERED 100 MILES TO ME WITH NO PROBLEMS. CAR SAT IN GARAGE FOR 7 DAYS.ON 12/27/2013 DROVE CAR APPROXIMATELY 7 MILES. AT 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE LEFT REAR BRAKE APPLIED JERKING CAR TO LEFT. THIS IS A 2008 CORVETTE WITH 7500 MILES. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT GM SHOULD FIND A CURE FOR BEFORE LAWSUITS BEGIN. VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

I WAS OUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AT NIGHT AND WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON. FORTUNATELY THE HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS WORKED, WHICH I USED TO GET HOME. THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED AND IT APPEARS THEY TURN OFF WHEN THE CAR HEATS UP. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND IT IS IMPEDING ME FROM GOING OUT AT NIGHT BECAUSE I AM SCARED IT MAY CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER IMMEDIATELY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

LIKE MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT APPEARS THAT THEY GO OUT WHEN THE CAR HEATS UP BUT WE DON'T KNOW. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS NHTSA TELLS THEM TO. *TR

I WENT TO THE STORE WHEN I WAS DONE SHOPPING I STARTED MY CAR AND THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS DIDN'T COME ONE. I HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS TO GET HOME. MY HUSBAND USED THE CAR AT NIGHT A FEW NIGHTS LATER AND WHEN HE STARTED THE CAR THEY CAME ON. A FEW MINUTES LATER WHEN HE WAS DRIVING THEY WENT OUT HE ALSO HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS TO GET HOME. IT SEAMS THEY WORK SOME TIMES. MAYBE THEY TURN OFF WHEN THE CAR GETS WARM. I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT AND I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS AND OTHER DRIVERS FLASH THERE LIGHTS AT ME. THIS CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES ENGAGED WITHOUT MANUAL FORCE AND ALSO FAILED TO STOP WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING LIGHT. IN ADDITION, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.
