general problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette

When driving at night, headlight turn off and do not turn back on… or do not come on at all . . Play with the switch …. On and off nothing happens…sometimes highbeams don’t even work. This happened several times!!.

I took car to local Chevrolet dealer to have headlight flashing problem corrected. They gave me back the car saying it was fixed. Problem is still there and now they want regular shop rate to repair the recal problem. Problem is a broken wire in the fuse box in engine compartment. This causes the low beam headlights to flicker on and off wfter engine compartment heats up. Car is unsafe to drive at night.

Low beams don't work when the engine gets hot, I was driving the other night at 10pm and the headlights went out. Pitch black and almost wrecked. . . . . . . This is a know issue. . . . . Fuel pump has small cracks in the top of driver side fuel pump could start fire, and its a know issue. . . . . . . Heads on the ls7 also know valve issue. It will ruin the motor. . . . .

Llow beam lights completely stopped working on way home on a busy highway in the dark. High beams work, parking lights work. After cool down relay allows low beam to come back on. This is a major safety issue.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated upon purchasing the vehicle and driving at 25 mph, the headlights flickered on and off. The contact was able to continue to drive. The contact later received an unknown recall notification from the manufacturer regarding the headlights failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who completed the recall repair; however, the failure reoccurred several times while driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1.

Got off work at 6pm was driving home on regular roads, and out of no where my low beams went out and wouldn't turn on again. Check all the fuses and relays and there all good.

Documents attached detailing problem and gm's response - this is not a typical lens fogging with age that can be cleaned with a store bought product. I put 1/15/16 as the date below as that is the date I first contacted gm but this has formed over the last number of months.

Took car in for a diagnose gentleman said there was a recall for low beams so I said it was fine took car home 3 weeks later while I was on the highway cars low beams went out after engine heats up went back to dealer and let them know the the situation and the went and checked the car turns out that now I have a faulty fuse box keep in mind I had car for 3 years and never had a low beam problem till the recall was preformed.

After cranking my daily commute Corvette around 8pm, for the first time in the evening in about a month. I noticed the low beam lights did not come on. After checking the lights and fuses, I found a intermittent short in the fuse box.

I was driving on the highway when the low beam head lights suddenly went out. The car will continue to lose function of them after about 15-30 minutes of use. Once the car is parked over night they will regain use in the morning but then lose function again once the engine bay is warm.

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.

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.

This is my 3rd complaint. I know there is a recall on the head lights for the years 2005-2007. And for the years 2008-2013 it will be covered under upcoming customer satisfaction program 14203. When I called gm they said my VIN # is not covered under that program yet my Corvette is a 2008 model. I would like to know why. I have had numerous incidents where people get very mad because I am driving with high beams on. One time another vehicle swerved at me trying to run me off road.

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.

I have actually been having this problem for a few months now and can not drive the car at night because of it. The low beams quit working after the car gets hot. When you first start the car they will work but after the car has ran for about 20 minutes or so the lights will not work. High beams and fog lamps work, but not the low beams. This is a safety issue that should be addressed and there should be a recall. Fuse blocks under the hood are not something that should break, they are not subject to regular wear and tear like other parts of the vehicle.

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.

No high beam head lights. Fuse did not blow, bulbs checked and are good, but will not light. Had checked, and found short in wiring harness and fuse box. Dealer will not repair.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Corvette. The head-lamp lenses have developed cracks. A technician from the dealer stated that the previous owner installed a clear adhesive over the lamps to reduce the cracking. He then added that any repairs made would be at the owners expense. The failure mileage was 7,102. Updated 01/1410 updated 01/20/10.
