“Dealers refuse to repair vehicle stating the extended special coverage has expired. Airbag light will not shut off due to wire harness problem and GM knows about the problem. I tried to get the car repaired but local dealer did not have the parts. And the coverage expired. . I receive the notice in may 2016. My car met the mileage standard, less than 120 k miles and within 10 years of ownership.”
NHTSA complaint #10984982, filed 2017-05, 30,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10550260, filed 2013-10, 113,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10662863, filed 2014-12, 43,087 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10644324, filed 2014-10, 68,000 miles“I was driving home at night and my headlights automatically just turned off and wouldn't come back on...I needed to turn on my high beams in order to make it home safe...after getting home and letting the car sit for an hour they came back on..I read some Corvette forums online and saw many people had the same issues..I guess when the car gets hot there's a issue with the Corvette fuse box making the lights just turn off. That is ridiculous!! …”
