NHTSA complaint #11073501, filed 2018-02, 102,000 miles“Front turn indicators keep blowing bulbs. I have contacted GM and Chevrolet motor division concerning my 2001 Chevrolet Corvette. The front turn indicators have been a continuing problem in this vehicle. I have noticed many 2001-2005 models with this problem. The front turn indicators right and left blow bulbs at different times. It seems to be a problem with the lens covers cracking over time and allowing moisture inside causing the bulb to fail thus when turning, the vehicle will not send a signal to oncoming traffic. Chevrolet declined to replace. …”
