Headlights problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette

I notice a strong fuel odor inside the car when tank is filled. . Once I get to like half a tank it goes away. Also the headlight lens has to be polished frequently. They are cheap plastic.

Low beam headlight not working. Fuse and lamp replaced. Headlight low beam still not fixed. Headlight low beam went out while driving at night.

Recently my low beam headlights would randomly stop working. At first they would go off and come back on after a couple minutes but now I'l be lucky if they turn on at all. The problem comes from the fuse box located under the hood. In the beginning I would get out of my car and play around with the low beam relay until the lights came on and stayed on but now that does not even help. Its obviously a problem due to the fuse box. I know there are many other Corvette owners who have the same issue. I hope gm will fix this problem.

The list goes on and on. I get a check engine coolant error that the dealership can't diagnose. My car smells like fuel. Sometimes it smells foul coming from the ac. I get a tire flat warning when my tires are just fine. My brakes won't stop squeeling even after buying new rotars and pads. My headlights suffered from something called mazing in which the lights have tiny little cracks in them all over causing no way to drive at night due to poor visibility and the lights cost $1200 for just one meaning it would cost $2500 to get new lights put on a used car. This is just ridiculous. Gm knows what they did but didn't care to help me on the headlights.

My low beams on my headlights on my 2008 chevy Corvette suddenly turn off once the car warms up after driving a few minutes. When I turn on my car, the lights turn on normally. But as I drive, they suddenly turn off. . . . I see that this is a problem happening alot in vehicles like mine.

The low beam headlights sporadically shut off while the car is being driven. It has happened numerous times since the initial incident and makes driving very dangerous.

Low beam headlights failed while driving. High beams work and all other lights. Lights resumed working later as car cooled down. Failed again the next day. Seems to start working as car warms up.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette. While driving at night with the headlights activated, the low beam lights failed. The dealer stated that the ubec housing failed and caused the low beam relay control circuit to fail. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 61,200.

I understand that the NHTSA previously opened an investigation in 2013 regarding c6 Corvette headlight (low beam) failures for years 2005-07. I file this claim because the production years are not limited to the years referenced. Hence, my 2008 is experiencing the same exact problem - low beam failures on roadways at night. I understand now from new research of my own that latter years are also impacted by the same issue. Although the daytime running lights are unaffected, they do not provide appropriate nighttime illumination. Using high beams are an undesirable alternative. Considering gm's long and pervasive history of shunning serious vehicular issues and complaints only until they reach a national scale (via national media or act of congress), and after contacting a local dealer last week, they have not accepted any responsibility to remediate whether it be under safety, technical bulletin, or recall. Having no trust whatsoever of gm or others like Nissan, being too big to care, I am placing my trust in the NHTSA. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette. While driving at an unknown speed, the low beam headlights failed. The VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign number: 14v251000 (electrical system, exterior lighting). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 35,000.

Low beam headlights go out and won't go back on either manually or automatically until the car cools down. This just started happening recently. My dealer said that for slightly older Corvette years, there was a recall to replace the fuse block itself. Apparently there were enough complaints about low beam headlights going out for no reason. I had the fuse block replaced and it apparently has solved the problem - but at a cost of over $500. After reading other similar complaints about 2008 Corvettes, it would seem that the recall should also cover that model year as well. Simi valley, CA.

When car gets hot, the low beam lights will not turn on. There is an existing recall for Corvette c6 models from 08-13. But there are none for Corvette c6 z06 models from 08-13 even though the fusebox, headlight wiring is identical.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that burning fumes were emitted into the vehicle and all of a sudden the headlights failed. Also, the contact mentioned that the high beams were defective. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.

I was driving my car on the street at night when the low-beam headlights suddenly went out. I pulled over and tried to turn them on again but they wouldn't work. I shut off the car and turned it on again and they still didn't work. I put on my high beams which worked and drove home. The next day I tested the headlights and they worked fine when the car was cool, but they stopped working when the car heated up. I checked the fuses and the relays and they were both fine. After some internet research on this issue, I traced the problem to a broken copper wire inside the fuse box. I replaced this wire and the low-beam headlights now operate the way they should. I think this is a potentially dangerous situation for anyone who is driving their Corvette at night.

I was driving on the freeway at night on my way home around 11pm when my low beam lights went dark and would not turn back on. I've checked all the forums about this problem and it is happening a lot, but apparently gm wont include the 2008 vehicles even though ones like mine have the same equipment as earlier models with the same problems. A few days prior, my girlfriend was driving the car, and complained about the same problem, but I just thought it was because she didn't know how to operate the car. Once I get it fixed, how do I know the lights wont mysteriously go off again?! I'm very disappointed in all the electrical problems with this vehicle, and this is the last straw. (after only 38k miles the fuel tank gauge stopped working. At 60k miles the car was having issues with overheating because the fans wouldn't turn on. At 75k miles a clunking noise started coming from the differential. It's a stock car mind you. And now at 85k miles 2008, the headlights wont turn on. Gm simply won't stand behind the car, and so I've been left to figure it out on my own. So much for buying my dream car. It seems more like a nightmare. ).

The vehicles headlights would not come on or would come on and off intermittently while driving and/or parked. The vehicle was taken in for service and I was advised that their had been a fuse block short and the fuse block was replaced.

2008 new Corvette had fuse block short, headlights would not go out and had no low beams. Had to pull fuse to get lights off. Sound related to current recall of 05-07 and some 08's. Issue would come and go and was fixed as soon as dealer gcould see problem. Jim klink.
