2008 Chevrolet Corvette

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. *TR

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. *TR

I WAS OUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AT NIGHT AND WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON. FORTUNATELY THE HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS WORKED, WHICH I USED TO GET HOME. THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED AND IT APPEARS THEY TURN OFF WHEN THE CAR HEATS UP. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND IT IS IMPEDING ME FROM GOING OUT AT NIGHT BECAUSE I AM SCARED IT MAY CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER IMMEDIATELY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED CAUSING THE CONTACT TO UTILIZE THE FOG LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. *TR
