I bought a 2005 chevy Corvette convertible at a dealership in baton rouge louisiana named gerry lane Chevrolet they told me everything worked on the car when I got the car in 2019 the car had over 40 problems that the head-up display doesn't work the headlight goes off sometimes comes on sometimes the cd player doesn't work the navigation screen doesn't work the speakers are sounding crack and does train sensor without they only fix the crank sensor and the cigarette lighter doesn't work and the convertible top doesn't want to go up and down sometime.

The driver and passenger side main headlight assembly is a sealed unit and cannot be repaired. The seals in both units in my car are defective and that allows moisture and environmental contaminates to collect inside the unit and fog up the main lenses that the driving headlights project through. I cannot be taken apart and repaired. Each assembly part costs over $1,200 plus labor. To fix both sides is $3,000. This is a safety issue. Not only does it diffuse the light at night and not focus correctly down the highway, it also causes high degree of glare for drives approaching my car head on. I do not want to increase chances of a head on collision or crash due to poor visibility at night. This is a safety issue for me as well as approaching drivers. I called Chevrolet to report and they refuse to help in any way. I also asked about assistance with paying the repair bill but they would not. On internet, there are many message boards discussing the same issues with other people's vehicles. The safety board should create a safety recall and have the manufacturer replace at their expense these defective headlight assemblies.

I have an 05 Corvette and my left low beam headlight does not work. All other lights work fine, including the high beams.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that the headlights suddenly shut off without warning. In order to turn the headlights back on, the contact had to cap the fuse box. The dealer stated that the wiring shortage was under the fuse box and the vehicle needed to be rewired in order to prevent the shortage. Also, the fuse box needed to be replaced. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle had already received a recall repair regarding the headlights. The contact stated that the failure recurred even after receiving the repair.

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.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while attempting to drive the vehicle at night, the contact became aware that the vehicles head lights failed to power on. The vehicle was serviced under NHTSA campaign number: 14v251000 (electrical system, exterior lighting) but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the evening of the recall repair the vehicle's headlights failed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 133,900. Wh.

The plastic piece attaching the headlight vertical adjusting mechanism to the heaqdlight frame broke and fell off, causing large shifts in the headlight aim due to road irrregularities. Chevrolet does not make available detail parts of this rather complicated mechanism, making it necessary to buy a complete retractable headlight assembly for $1,000+. This discourages proper repair of this safety related issue.

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.

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.

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.

Low beam headlights go out while driving? happens daily then lights come back on after hours? stranded 5 hrs on interstate at rest stop!.

I have a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette, while driving along at night all of a sudden the headlights went off. I was lucky enough to be able to pull over without hitting anyone or being hit. I found the problem to be the low beam headlights only. The high beam still work and I was able to get it home . I found out on pc that I was not alone with this problem and like others they will work again when car is cooled down. They will go off again when engine is warm or hot at any given moment.
