Headlights problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Impala

The hi beam headlights failed, which made the lo beam headlights go out when the hi beam was engaged. Repair service found a corroded "pin" in a multi-pin electrical connection. This is a "protected" connection, in the engine compartment, it has been corroded for a very long time according to the electric serviceman. He informed me the other "pins" will fail also effecting the wipers and other "necessary" safety components, because of the condition of this connector.

I purchased a 2005 chevy Impala in 2008. The first time I was driving on a state hwy, a very twisty road . I had my headlights on high, right in the middle of the first curve my headlights went out, I jumped the brake and flipped the lever back and forth and they finally came back on low beam, I almost wreaked. The second time I was on the freeway just coming itno the outkirts of town, heavy traffic, I flipped the lever back and forth and the low beams came back on. I spoke with a dealer who said they had no complaints from other owners and was told there was no recall. It has happened too many times and can't be pinned to any peculator times, now I drive with my lights on low all the time. I went online and found hundreds of people having the same problem. Some had had to replace their whole steering columm to slove the problem. I can't afford to do this, but the car isn't safe. It keeps doing it and one of these times I will forget and it will catch me unawares and I will wreak.

While driving, the headlights will go out for no reason. This has happened several times while driving at night. If I pull the light switch on and off it will usually work. Flicking the high beams on and off may work too. This is a huge safety feature and I have found that there are many complaints on this same issue cannot find that there has been a recall when there should be.

Headlight intermittent failure on high beam. Click to low beam and lights come back on. Disconcerting when it happens at night at high speed. Chevrolet dealer replaced body control module at $362, but did not solve problem.

There are times when I am driving at night my headlights will go out. I usually can get them back on. It is scary when this happens. It has happened in rain storms at night and there is oncoming traffic. I have also had a wheel hub that has been replaced when my car was only 1. 5 years old. I was told there is no recall on this and I can't find one. I had to pay to replace the new part on a fairly new car. I have the old part in my trunk.

Electrical-headlights stopped working.

I own a 2005 chevy Impala. The high beam headlights started going out a year and a half ago around July or Aug. 2006. Around 75,000 miles was when the problem started and I now have 96,000 miles. At first I was able to fix it by switching back to low beam and then could switch back to high beam and they would work. In Feb. 2007 I had the car into the dealer to replace the blower fan and told them what was happening. I explained that when the lights were about to go out I could hear a buzzing in the satellite radio, like a shorting noise. First I was told that I had to bring it in when it happened so they could check the problem. The only issue was that I drive 40 miles each way to work and it would happen in the middle of the trip. When I went back to pick up the car I was told that it was a multifunction switch and it was about a $500 part. I decided I could deal with the situation and have held off on getting it repaired. Last week I got in my car to go home from work and I didn't have any high beam lights at all. You can make them work if you hold the lever back.

The contact does not like the headlights in the car. The dealership adjusted the headlights three different times. The contact is still not satisfied. He says he cannot see to drive at night because the headlights only shine about forty feet in front of the car. Updated 12/07/05.
