The front lights of the car one of them isn't working. I believe this isn't the first complain about this kind of car. It is dangerous to be driving on the road. I have to continue to put my high beams on for them to work. At times both the lights are on and with time driving it will turn one of them off. It's dangerous because the visibility on the road for me and other drivers.
My electronic stability control comes on regularly especially when I hit sand in driveway and tire spins which I expect but at other times the warning light comes on without any tire spin or condition that would warrant this. Turning from a stand still is another time the lights will come on without any tire spin. My wife drives this car now and I got a newer one. I am worried about her safety as she is an older lady 62 and if brakes locked up or steering she would not know how to handle the situation.

Most people would consider this to be dangerous and definitely a safety issue-driving and having your lights go out in traffic.

My low beam lights stopped working. Got had driven to a location in daylight. 2 hours later (dark) I started the car and the low-beams didn't come on. I got home (on fog lamps) and inspects the fuse box. Thought the low beam relay was faulty so went in another vehicle to purchase one. Replacing the relay, the lights came back on. I thought the problem was fixed until the next day, the same thing happened. This is when I did some research and found my car is part of a gm recall; gm recall #: n130146 NHTSA recall #: 14v-251 date issued: may 28, 2014 this same symptom has happened every day since. I booked my car into lonestar Chevrolet, houston, to have this taken care of. The technician, manager and Chevrolet contact center all told me the same thing. "the parts to repair this aren't ready yet (4 months!!). You are perfectly safe to drive on high-beams. " in my opinion, it is irresponsible to tell your customer that there is nothing that can be done and to drive illegally at night in the mean-time.

While driving early morning low beam headlamps suddenly turned off without warning. I still had high beams, but blinded oncoming drivers. After pulling off road, cycling ignition and headlamp switch low beams still inoperable. Searching NHTSA website lists potential problem with engine bay fuse box. Could have caused a serious accident.
While driving home from work, the lights on the car went out. After pulling off the road to a service station, I notice all the light were working except for the drive light. After attempting to turn the light on an off, checking the fuses and finding out the high beam were working. I drove home with high beams. The next day I took it to a repair shop and they said the light were working. Then that evening, again the low beam when out while driving, I realized that they work for about 30 to 45 minutes before the cut out every time. I took it back to the repair shop and spoke with them. They have said that this is on going issue and the dealership is aware of. For they keep fuse boxes for Corvettes in stock, making a comment that they don't keep fuse boxes in stock for his truck. I have check out a few forum and found out that his has been a consistent issues for this model of Corvettes. This is a very serious safety issue, as you depend on the dependability of having lights while driving. If someone is unprepared when this happens, there could be a serious accident that can cause serious injury or death. I believe that it is a responsibility of individuals to ensure that the vehicle is safe and it is the responsibility when there a multiple related issues about the same complaint. The manufacture is responsible for ensuring that the product a safe and reliable product for the consumer. Again, this need to be address before something seriously happens to someone, if it hasn't already happen. . Updated 05-09-14 .

My low beams turned off when I was driving.
While driving at night my low beams suddenly go out leaving the road in darkness. This has happened on several occasions. I am told the under hood fuse box is defective. This seems to be a problem on many 2006 Corvettes. Gm should issue a recall.

I was driving to work at around 8:45pm and while driving through windy roads my head lights simultaneously turned off which caused me to drive straight into a k-rail, being that there were no street lights so it was pitch black out.
Some times the low beam comes on some tomes it dosent just started to happen a mth ago. Also active handling still gives probles from proir recall goin in again.
Was driving on the highway when my driving lights stopped working without warning, could have lead to an accident. I then tried my high beams and those worked so I continued driving with my high beams only to get my self home.
While driving on dark road my low beam lights shut off. This was very dangerous and it could have easily cost me my life. This should be a recall. How many people will die before Chevrolet decides to do a recall?!!!.
Driving i95 temp about 80 f no rain dry very light traffic at about 70 mph no moon light selector set on auto front lights both low beam went out flipped to high beam still in auto no lights braking turn off to side of road stop move selector to manual from auto no low beams but have high beams shut car off let it sit while checking fuses all fuse ck ok so changed them anyway close covers set light selector to auto light low and start the car light came on both high and low in 20 sec. Light s go out place light selector in manual no lows again then flipped to high beam drive home with high beams so now it is not light or relay it may very well be a temperature issue under the hood get warm lights go off.
Low beam operation is intermittent, has been occuring for some time over the past years, never resolved cause as low beams always worked when vehicle was at dealership, did not relate to car being hot or cold.
I have the same problem you are investigating when the car warms up I have no low beam headlamps.
