2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Exterior Lighting Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while driving at speeds above 25 MPH, the ABS system failed, causing the front brakes to activate without the driver depressing the brake pedal. During the failure the active handling warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the active handling control module wiring harness was faulty and needed to be replaced. Additionally, while operating the vehicle the low beam headlights inadvertently turned off. The mechanic diagnosed that the wiring harness for the exterior lighting needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V251000 (Electrical System, Exterior Lighting). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 50,000. The contact stated that he pulled the fuse box and wiring from the car. In the photos, we can see a damaged wire around a tight bend that has created tension and caused a faulty connection.

MY HEADLIGHTS I THOUGHT WAS DONE UNDER DEALERSHIP THEN THEY STOP WORKING 2 MTHS LATER .

THE HEADLIGHT COVERS ARE CRAZING OVER WHICH IS MATERIALLY REDUCING THE LIGHT OUTPUT. 1. THE COVERS CANNOT BE POLISHED. NOT ONLY DOES THAT DESTROY THE OUTER COATING, THE CRAZING IS THROUGH-AND-THROUGH. 2. THE COVERS ARE GLUED ON AND CANNOT BE REPLACED BY ANY OFFICIAL MEANS, ALTHOUGH SOME INVENTIVE PEOPLE HAVE MANAGED TO SUCCEED (USUALLY AFTER MULTIPLE FAILED ATTEMPTS) BY STICKING THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IN THEIR KITCHEN OVEN. HOWEVER, [SEE NEXT POINT] 3. THE COVERS THEMSELVES ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE. 4. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES THEMSELVES, WHICH COST AROUND $1,000 PER SIDE, ARE SPECIFIC TO THE COLOR OF THE CAR, AND ARE NOW DISCONTINUED. IN OTHER WORDS, THERE IS NO LEGIT PATHWAY TO FIXING THIS PROBLEM. GM MADE A THROWAWAY HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY THAT COST A FORTUNE TO REPLACE WHEN IT WAS PRODUCED, AND NOW IT'S NOT AVAILABLE AT ALL. THIS IS NOT AN OLD CAR. THESE CARS WERE PRODUCED UNTIL 2013. THREE AND A HALF YEARS LATER, YOU CAN'T GET ESSENTIAL PARTS TO MAKE THE HEADLIGHTS SAFE. THOUSANDS OF C6 HEADLAMP COVERS ARE STARTING TO FAIL NOW. THE NHTSA DID A RECALL FOR THE LOW-BEAM WIRING MALFUNCTION ON THIS CAR. THIS IS A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN ITS EFFECT.

Mileage: 100,000

MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL COMES ON REGULARLY ESPECIALLY WHEN I HIT SAND IN DRIVEWAY AND TIRE SPINS WHICH I EXPECT BUT AT OTHER TIMES THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WITHOUT ANY TIRE SPIN OR CONDITION THAT WOULD WARRANT THIS. TURNING FROM A STAND STILL IS ANOTHER TIME THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON WITHOUT ANY TIRE SPIN. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR NOW AND I GOT A NEWER ONE. I AM WORRIED ABOUT HER SAFETY AS SHE IS AN OLDER LADY [XXX] AND IF BRAKES LOCKED UP OR STEERING SHE WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THE SITUATION.

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH WHEN MY LIGHTS WENT OUT. I HAD TO PULL OVER, AND THEIR WAS A GOOD DEAL OF TRAFFIC. I DISCOVERED THAT MY BRIGHT LIGHTS WERE WORKING. I HAD THIS PROBLEM OFF AND ON FOR AWHILE. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I GOT IT BACK AND CONTINUED HAVING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE AVOIDED DRIVING AT NIGHT WHICH LIMITS THE USE OF YOUR CAR. MOST PEOPLE WOULD CONSIDER THIS TO BE DANGEROUS AND DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE-DRIVING AND HAVING YOUR LIGHTS GO OUT IN TRAFFIC. *TR

MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. GOT HAD DRIVEN TO A LOCATION IN DAYLIGHT. 2 HOURS LATER (DARK) I STARTED THE CAR AND THE LOW-BEAMS DIDN'T COME ON. I GOT HOME (ON FOG LAMPS) AND INSPECTS THE FUSE BOX. THOUGHT THE LOW BEAM RELAY WAS FAULTY SO WENT IN ANOTHER VEHICLE TO PURCHASE ONE. REPLACING THE RELAY, THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED UNTIL THE NEXT DAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS IS WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MY CAR IS PART OF A GM RECALL; GM RECALL #: N130146 NHTSA RECALL #: 14V-251 DATE ISSUED: MAY 28, 2014 THIS SAME SYMPTOM HAS HAPPENED EVERY DAY SINCE. I BOOKED MY CAR INTO LONESTAR CHEVROLET, HOUSTON, TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF. THE TECHNICIAN, MANAGER AND CHEVROLET CONTACT CENTER ALL TOLD ME THE SAME THING. "THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS AREN'T READY YET (4 MONTHS!!). YOU ARE PERFECTLY SAFE TO DRIVE ON HIGH-BEAMS." IN MY OPINION, IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO TELL YOUR CUSTOMER THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE AND TO DRIVE ILLEGALLY AT NIGHT IN THE MEAN-TIME. *TR

IN MID FEBRUARY OF 2014 MY RIGHT LOW BEAM HEADLAMP ON MY 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STARTING TURNING OFF WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES OF THE HEADLAMPS TURNING ON AND STAYING OFF. DAILY, EACH TIME THE HEADLAMPS CAME ON THE LOW BEAM WOULD WORK THEN GO OUT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THE RIGHT LOW BEAM GOES OUT MINUTES AFTER IT COMES ON DAILY AT DAWN OR DUSK BELOW IS WHAT THE LOCAL CHEVROLET INVOICE C46040 DATED FEBRUARY 25, 2014 STATES: CONCERN: CUSTOMER STATES THE RIGHT LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHT IS INOP ADVISE CAUSE: RF LOW BEAM BULB INOP CORRECTION: REPLACE RF LOW BEAM BULB, ALL LIGHTS OPERATING AT THIS TIME PARTS: 000 025735604 BULB TECH: XXX I PAID $441.36 TO REPLACE A LOW BEAM HEADLAMP THAT GMC/CHEVROLET KNEW WAS CAUSING ISSUES SINCE MAY 2013 GMC/CHEVROLET HAS DONE NOTHING TO THIS DATE ABOUT ANNOUNCING A RECALL BUT ADMITS TO THE GOVERNMENT THAT THE INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT FAILURE WAS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE ENGINE BAY. AT THIS SAME TIME MY LOW JACK TRACKING DEVICE STARTED HAVING ISSUES AND LOW JACK REPAIRED THE ISSUE AT NO COST BUT CHEVROLET CHARGED ME FOR THEIR EVALUATION OF THE ISSUE AND SAID IT WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE CAR. I DISAGREE. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THE ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE ENGINE BAY IS ALSO THE CULPRIT IN THIS SITUATION. I DRIVE COMMUTE THREE TIMES A WEEK ROUND TRIP 112 MILES, THE FIRST 30 ARE BEFORE DAWN AND THE LAST 56 ARE AT NIGHT. I WAS DRIVING WITH A FAULTY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT THAT COULD STOP WORKING AT ANY TIME AND PRESENTED A SAFETY RISK TO ME AND OTHER CARS. I HAVE CALLED GMC MULTIPLE TIMES ASKING FOR VERIFICATION OF THIS PARTICULAR RECALL AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL. I FEEL THAT GMC/CHEVROLET MUST PROVIDE A RECALL TO PREVENT MORE CORVETTE DRIVERS FROM EXPERIENCING SITUATIONS LIKE MINE. *TR

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. *TR

I TOOK IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND SPOKE WITH THEM. THEY HAVE SAID THAT THIS IS ON GOING ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF. FOR THEY KEEP FUSE BOXES FOR CORVETTES IN STOCK, MAKING A COMMENT THAT THEY DON'T KEEP FUSE BOXES IN STOCK FOR HIS TRUCK. I HAVE CHECK OUT A FEW FORUM AND FOUND OUT THAT HIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT ISSUES FOR THIS MODEL OF CORVETTES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS YOU DEPEND ON THE DEPENDABILITY OF HAVING LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING. IF SOMEONE IS UNPREPARED WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE COULD BE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY OF INDIVIDUALS TO ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE AND IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY WHEN THERE A MULTIPLE RELATED ISSUES ABOUT THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT THE PRODUCT A SAFE AND RELIABLE PRODUCT FOR THE CONSUMER. AGAIN, THIS NEED TO BE ADDRESS BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUSLY HAPPENS TO SOMEONE, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPEN..UPDATED 05-09-14 *BF *JS .

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 CORVETTE AT NIGHT AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF, I WAS SURPRISED AND CONFUSED BUT WAS ABLE TO TURN MY HIGH BEAMS ON, I PULLED OVER AND TESTED ALL THE LIGHTS, ONLY THE LOW BEAMS DID NOT WORK, FROM THERE I USED THE FOG LIGHTS INSTEAD OF THE HIGH BEAMS SO NOT TO BLIND OTHER DRIVERS AND GOT HOME. I LIVE IN A SUBURBAN AREA OF MY COUNTY WHERE THERE ISN'T MUCH STREET LIGHTING, WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT WAS VERY SCARY, LUCKILY I DIDN'T CRASH INTO ANYONE OR ANYTHING. THE NEXT NIGHT I TESTED THE LIGHTS AND THEY CAME ON FINE, BUT AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES THEY SHUT OFF AGAIN, USED THE FOG LIGHTS SO I COULD SEE SOME OF THE ROAD, BUT VISIBILITY IS LOW. I WORK AT NIGHT SO NOW I JUST TURN THE FOG LIGHTS ON WHEN I START THE CAR SO WHEN THE LOW BEAMS TURN OFF I'LL HAVE SOME TYPE OF LIGHT. THE LOW BEAMS TURN OFF EVERY TIME I USE THE CAR, ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES INTO DRIVING THE CAR. THE ONLY NIGHT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WAS WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COOL, I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA BUT ONE NIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 59 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR ABOUT 45 MINUTES WITHOUT THE LOW BEAMS TURNING OFF. I'VE READ SOME CASES THAT SAY THE LOW BEAMS TURN OFF BECAUSE OF SOMETHING IN THE FUSE BOX OVERHEATING, I'M ASSUMING THIS IS WHY THEY WORKED ON A COLD NIGHT. THANKS IN ADVANCE. *TR

THIS PATTERN CONTINUED FOR ABOUT A WEEK UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE INTERNAL FUSE BLOCK HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THIS IS THE SECOND CORVETTE HE HAS RECENTLY SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM. MY INCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

THIS HAS BEEN A DAILY OCCURRENCE SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT.

IT WAS SUNDAY NIGHT AND AS I WAS DRIVING HOME A CAR FLASHED IT LIGHTS AT ME. I GOT HOME AND PUT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE. SHORTLY AFTER, I WENT TO LEAVE AGAIN AND NOTICED WHEN LEAVING, SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, THAT MY HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT ON. I HAD THEM SET ON AUTOMATIC. I TRIED TO FORCE THEM TO COME ON AND THEY WOULD NOT COME ON. I ALREADY WAS TAKING MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP (LONE STAR CHEVROLET IN CYPRESS TEXAS) AND ADDED THIS TO MY LIST OF PROBLEMS ON MONDAY WHEN I TOOK IT IN. ON MONDAY WHEN I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING AGAIN. WHEN THEY WENT TO TEST THE CAR, THEY ONCE AGAIN HAD THE PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS AND COULD NOT TURN THEM ON. WHEN THEY CALLED WITH THE REPAIR COSTS, THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE INTERMITTENT SWITCH ON THE LIGHTS. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS. THEY SAID OTHER THAN ON THAT INITIAL INSPECTION THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AGAIN SO IN GOOD FAITH THEY COULD NOT JUSTIFY THAT REPLACING THE SWITCH WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM SO THEY DID NOTHING TO THE CAR TO FIX THE LIGHT PROBLEM. THE EVENING I GOT THE CAR BACK, WEDNESDAY 5/15, THE LIGHTS ONCE AGAIN WOULD NOT WORK. THIS MORNING, THURSDAY 5/16 THEY WORKED AGAIN. I WAS SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AND TO SEE WHAT THE FIX WAS, AND I NOTICED THAT THE NHTSB WAS RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM CURRENTLY. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE AWARE OF MY CAR AS WELL. I ALSO NOTICED THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ON THE CORVETTE FORUM ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS WELL. I WILL LET THEM KNOW TO COME TO THIS WEBSITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AS WELL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THANKS YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON DARK ROAD MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS SHUT OFF. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT COULD HAVE EASILY COST ME MY LIFE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL DIE BEFORE CHEVROLET DECIDES TO DO A RECALL?!!! *TR

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. *TR

DRIVING AT NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME, MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WHEN OUT. HIGH BEAMS STILL WORKED, SO WHEN I GOT HOME I STARTED CHECKING THE FUSES AND RELAYS BUT THEY WERE ALL GOOD. AFTER 2 HOURS WHEN THE CAR COOLED DOWN I RESTARTED THE CAR AND LOW BEAMS WERE WORKING FINE, LEFT THE CAR RUNNING FOR 20 MINUTES AND HEADLIGHTS WHEN OUT AGAIN. APPEARS TO BE A HEATING PROBLEM AT THE FUSE BOX. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN RESULT IN FATALITIES IF GM DOESN'T FIX.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. THE HIGH BEAMS WILL COME ON, THE FOG LIGHTS WORK. LOW BEAMS WILL NOT WORK IN AUTO MODE, OR MANUAL. TESTED DASH BOARD SENSOR, WORKS CORRECTLY, CHANGED LOW BEAM MINI RELAY AND FUSES, TWICE, PROBLEM REMAINS UNRESOLVED. CAN SOMETIMES LEAVE CAR PARKED OVERNIGHT, COME OUT AND LOW BEAMS ARE WORKING AGAIN. NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL WORK AND WHEN THEY WON'T. WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE THE OTHER DAY AND LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WAS UNABLE TO SEE. HAD TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS, OTHER DRIVERS ON ROADWAY WERE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. TOOK TO DEALER, LOW BEAMS WERE WORKING AT THE TIME AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE PROBLEM WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS THERE. *TT

LOW BEAMS SUDDENLY CUT OUT. SINCE THEN, LOW BEAMS ARE OK WHEN CAR IS COLD (IN MORNING OR AFTER SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS) BUT THEN CUT OUT AGAIN AT RANDOM TIME AFTER CAR WARMS UP, AND STAY OFF UNTIL NEXT TIME CAR IS COLD. HIGH BEAMS & FOG LIGHTS WORK FINE, ALL OTHER LIGHTING AND FUNCTIONS WORK FINE. SUSPECT FAILED CONNECTION AT PUNCH-DOWN BOARD INSIDE FUSE BOX FOR CIRCUIT THAT SUPPLIES POWER TO LOW-BEAM RELAY, REQUIRING FUSE BOX REPLACEMENT, AS HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH SEVERAL OTHER REPORTED IDENTICAL INCIDENTS IN C6 MODEL CORVETTES (FIRST INTRODUCED IN 2005) THAT I DISCOVERED DURING ONLINE RESEARCH. DEALER WILL DIAGNOSE DURING EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT IN 2 DAYS. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF LIGHTS SUDDENLY CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON UNLIT ROAD. *TR
