Headlights Turn Off While Driving Problems of Chevrolet Corvette

The 2005 Chevrolet Corvette dim headlight recall is a scam. Chevrolet does not fix dim headlight failure then demands over $750 to repair dim headlight failure. From time of dim headlights coming on they fail after about 10 minutes and do not function again for hours after car is shut down. (moving car has no headlights until bright lights or for lights are manually turned on).

Headlights randomly turn off while driving. This was recalled on many other gm vehicles including the c6 model, but has not been recalled for the same issue on my 1999 c5, which is a low-mileage, always garaged vehicle. There are many other owners with the same issue, and there are certainly other complaints. This is a serious and dangerous safety issue and the recall should be expanded to include this vehicle.

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.

Low beam headlights went out without notice and would not come on. Was driving at the time the went out. I made it home using high beams. Low beams came back on the next morning but after my testing the would go out after apx 15 minutes and would not come back on for hours.

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.

Low beam headlights just turn off by themselves and would not turn back on.

While driving, the low beam headlights suddenly went out. After further investigation, a known and documented problem regarding the fuse block under the hood was the culprit. There is a copper wire within the fuse block that loses connection due to the high heat that occurs in the fusebox circuitry but to date, gm has not issued a TSB or recall concerning this potentially dangerous issue.

My situation is unique, but it happens hundreds of times every. In Nov and Dec of 2013 and in Jan 2014 my low-beam headlights would go out periodically and I took my car to a Chevrolet dealership who could not determine the specific problem. And I was not told there had been hundreds of complaints about this same issue from other Corvette owners. Why do you think I was not told about hundreds of other complaints? did gm keep it a secret from all the dealers all over the world? when there are hundreds of complaints and problems on one single issue, is that not something that is passed to the dealerships as something to be aware of, to look for, as well as a clue as to how to find and fix the problem? the Chevrolet dealer in Jan they said they could fix the problem by replacing my electrical box at a cost of just over $1,000. 00. I declined, that shotgun approach. They did not find the exact problem as per their invoice. Their shotgun fix would have never made its way to become a gm recall issue. I was told yesterday by the gm dealer they found some wires that was causing my problem. When there is a recall & a gm customer has that recall problem & it's a known potentially serious safety issue and the recall has been announced, it seems the prudent, the reasonable, the common sense, the most cost effective way to solve yet another problem with the recall is for gm to authorize a fix when the the customer is in the dealership with the specific recall problem as in my case yesterday. That is the most common sense safe and cost effective way to handle a situation like mine. I am very disappointed that gm would not authorize a fix right then (yesterday) it would have in the long run saved money for everyone and it would have been cost and safety effective, it's a common sense approach that the best minds at gm overlooked.

My Corvette headlights went out and would not come on until the Corvette cooled down.

Driving on the freeway in traffic at night, my low beam headlights shut off and my only option was to use my hi beams. People were flashing their bright lights and I was blinding other drivers. The next day the headlights came on, then switched off 5 minutes after driving. For the last few days they have rarely even came on, and when they do, they will turn off quickly. I drive my Corvette every day, and this is very unsafe. A police officer stopped me and gave me a verbal warning last night when my lights switched off and I had to turn my bright lights on right in front of him.

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.

While driving at night on the interstate, the low beam headlights shut off. All other lights wored fine. I was able to switch to hi beams and continue home. Car was purchased used less than 1 month ago. Search of Corvette forums online reveals that this is a fairly common problem and is related to the fuse block under the hood. Chevrolet knows about the problem but has done nothing about it. The cost of replacing the fuse block (approx. 600. 00) should not be borne by the consumer due to a safety issue.

When first starting the car the head light come on, after driving for about 20 min. And the engine gets hot the head lights go out and will not come back on. Dash board stes head lights suggested.

Driving at night, 45 mph on smooth pavement. Low beam headlights went out, high beam remained functional. Since that time whenever driven low beams work until engine compartment warms up and do not work again until engine compartment cools down.

July 03, 2012 9pm - low beam headlights failed to turn on either automatically or manually by switch. For next several days/nights the low beams would intermittently turn on when the car was cold and turn off after the car was warm. Searching the internet identified the underhood fuse block as the most likely cause, many Corvette owners had experienced the same problem with the low beams and isolated their problem to this fuse block. I replaced my fuse block July 15 and the problem was fixed. I disassembled the removed fuse block with the intent of repairing it so I would have a spare fuse block if the new fuse block failed. After evaluating the design and construction of the fuse block I concluded that the fuse block will have poor long term reliability. I could repair the problem that caused the low beam headlight failure but any and every other circuit in the fuse block is vulnerable to the same failure cause. Every component/system that receives power thru this fuse block is vulnerable to eventually experiencing intermittent power problems.

I was driving at night and the headlights turned off. After further incidents I discovered that the headlights work properly when the car is cold then after about 15 minutes the lo-beams go out. High beams and fog light function still works properly. The dash indicator on dash indicates lights are on even when they are not. It appears to be a thermal problem. You can drive a short distance and the headlights work properly. Park the car and drive it a short time later and the headlights don't work. I've discovered others on the internet have the same issue with the 2005 Corvette and they ended up having to replace the entire fuse box.
