11/15/14 WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ABOUT 30 MIN. INTO MY DRIVE NOTICED THAT MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. PULLED OVER TO TRY SWITCHING LIGHTS ON AND OFF. STILL WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. HIGH BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS WORKED. HAD TO DRIVE 15 MIN. WITH FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ON. 12/7/14 DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NIGHT,15 MIN. DRIVE TO GET HOME. 10 MIN. IN LOW BEAMS GO OUT. SO I DROVE HOME WITH FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ON AGAIN. *TR

MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL FOR THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS, AND CHEVY (THE MANUFACTURER) WILL NOT FIX IT. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN FIX IT BY REPLACING THE FUSE BOX, BUT CHEVY WILL NOT AUTHORIZE IT. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR OVER A MONTH. THE DEALER GAVE ME LOANER CAR, AND I DO APPRECIATE THAT. HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY CAR BACK. I AM GETTING ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE WITH CHEVY, THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS WITH RESPECT TO THE DEALER. *TR

LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY GO OUT WHILE DRIVING AND WON'T COME BACK ON.ALL FUSES, RELAYS, AND SWITCHES HAVE BEEN TESTED AND FOUND TO BE GOOD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS CRACKED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO VIEW THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD PROPERLY WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,322.

MULTIPLE FINE CRACKS IN BOTH HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLIES. THEY ARE NOT ONLY UNSIGHTLY BUT APPEARS TO DISTORT/REFLECT HEAD LIGHTING. IN CHECKING MY WITH LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, OTHER CORVETTES OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD SHUT OFF INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INITIALLY WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THEY WILL OPERATE BOTH AUTOMATICALLY AND MANUALLY WHEN SELECTED. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 15 - 20 MINUTES THE LOW BEAMS GO OUT. THEY WILL NOT COME ON IN EITHER THE AUTO OR MANUAL MODES. THE HIGH BEAMS, PARKING AND FOG LIGHTS ALL WORK. AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR SEVERAL HOURS THE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON, BUT WILL GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE HAD MY CAR SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM 4 TIMES. THE GROUND WAS FIXED ONE TIME, THE NEXT VISIT THE CONTROL MODULE AND AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR WAS REPLACED, THE FOLLOWING VISIT THE CONTROL ON THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED. THE LOW BEAMS OPERATED FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME EACH TIME. WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT, IT IS WITHOUT WARNING AND THEY WILL NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN SEVERAL CORVETTE AND GENERAL MOTORS FORUMS. *TR

WE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH LOW BEAMS NOT COMING ON. WE REPLACED THE RELAY WITH A NEW ONE AND IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. ALL OTHER LIGHTS WORK. HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS A BREAK IN GROUND WIRE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BCM AND THE FUSE BOX. SEVERAL FUSES IN THE BOX ARE DISCOLORED FROM EXCESSIVE HEAT IN THE FUSE BOX. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON 2007 CORVETTE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. FOG AND HIGH BEAMS CONTINUE TO WORK. IT APPEARS THE LOW BEAMS WORK INITIALLY BUT THEN STOP WORKING AFTER THE ENGINE HEATS UP. THIS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN. LAST TIME THEY STOPPED WORKING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY FAILED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE HEADLIGHT RELAY WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2007 CORVETTE WENT DARK WITHOUT WARNING. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HEADLIGHT INDICATOR SHOWED THAT THEY WERE STILL ON. I SWITCHED TO HIGH BEAMS AND THOSE LIGHTS WERE WORKING. IT SEEMS THE LOW BEAMS WORK FOR AWHILE BUT STOP WORKING AFTER THE CAR WARMS UP FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES OR SO. ALSO IF THE LOW BEAMS WERE WORKING AND THE CAR IS TURNED OF FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE LOW BEAMS MAY NOT WORK ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. CLEARLY THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLE AND A LIMITED RECALL NEEDS TO BE INITIATED FOR THOSE CARS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SIMULTANEOUSLY STOPPED WORKING. HIGH BEAM AND FOG LIGHTS CONTINUED TO WORK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HEADLIGHTS GO OUT (LOW BEAMS). *TR

LOW BEAMS TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AT NIGHT, SUDDEN LOSS OF BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WITHOUT WARNING. ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY. NEARLY MISSED GETTING REAR ENDED IN THE PROCESS. THIS IS NOT SAFE! *TR
