2007 Chevrolet Corvette complaints

I START THE ENGINE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK, I TURN THE ENGINE OFF TRIED STARTING AFTER 5 MINUTES SAME THING UNABLE TO GET IT OUT OF PARK. *TR

SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WARNING CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AVERAGE SPEED (ABOUT 45MPH) GOING STRAIGHT ON A FLAT ROAD. LIGHT WENT OFF AFTER TURNING OFF VEHICLE. CAME BACK ON NUMEROUS TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, SOME WHILE BRAKING AT A LIGHT, OTHER TIMES WHILE ACCELERATING. TOOK TO SHOP AND HAD RECOMMENDED FIX OF CLIP ON WIRE BELOW STEERING WHEEL COMPLETED. SHOP TEST DROVE CAR AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE. ON WAY HOME, SERVICE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THIS TIME I NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO AFFECTED- LIGHTS ON WHILE DRIVING AND OFF WHEN DEPRESSING PEDAL. TOOK BACK TO SHOP WHERE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH UNDER PEDAL REPLACED AND BCM COMPUTER WAS FLASHED AND REPROGRAMMED (TO AVOID REPLACING). THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM.FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS. SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AGAIN CAME ON AND BECAME MORE FREQUENT OVER 2 WEEKS AND BY THE SECOND WEEK THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON AT ALL TIMES. RETURNED TO SHOP AND HAD TO PAY FOR NEW BCM COMPUTER. HAVE DRIVEN CAR TWICE SINCE THEN WITHOUT ISSUE. FOR OTHER ISSUES ALSO NOTED BY OTHER DRIVERS- HEADLIGHTS HAVE LITTLE CRACKS ALL THROUGH LENSES WHICH CANNOT BE REPLACED, MUST BUY NEW LIGHTS WITH ENTIRE HOUSING WHICH ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND QUITE LABOR INTENSIVE TO REPLACE. ALSO HEAR LITTLE POPPING NOISES COMING FROM TOP AS NOTED BY RECALL ON FILE. *JS

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 AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL C6 CORVETTES (2005 THROUGH 2013). THE PROBLEM IS THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. IF IT IS ZIP TIED TIGHTLY BY THE OWNER, THE LIGHT WILL GO OUT FOR A WHILE. WHEN IT COMES BACK ON, THE ZIP TIE MUST BE REPLACED TO GET THE CONNECTIONS TO WORK AGAIN. BAD CONNECTOR SHOULD BE RECALLED IN MY OPINION. WORRIED THAT WHEN THE LIGHT COME ON THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED. VERY DANGEROUS. *JS

AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OFF. SEARCHED FORUMS AND IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CORVETTE (AND OTHER GM VEHICLES, APPARENTLY). USED A ZIP TIE TO TIGHTEN CONNECTOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED TO FIX THE CONNECTORS UNDER THE SEATS. *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.

WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING (AFTER STARTING) THE AIR BAG LIGHT DOES NOT DE-ENERGIZE. *TR

THE FUEL GUAGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE FUEL IS FULL. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS THE FUEL SENSOR. CHEVROLET WANTS $1600.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PRICE IS WAY OUT OF LINE. CAN I GET SOME HELP. *TR

MY CORVETTE IS EXPERIENCING BRAKE/ STABILITY CONTROL/ TRACTION CONTROL ISSUES. THE FIRST TIME I APPLY THE BRAKES AFTER STARTING THE CAR THEY PEDAL VIBRATES, THE BRAKES FEEL INEFFECTIVE, AND THE CAR DISABLES ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, ACTIVE HANDLING, AND TRACTION CONTROL. THE LIGHTS RESET AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTING IT AGAIN, ONLY FOR ALL THESE SYSTEMS TO DISABLE UPON THE FIRST STOP. *TR

AS I, "THE OWNER", WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I RECEIVED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD CLUSTER AND MOVED THE VEHICLE TO THE FAR RIGHT HAND LANE AND SLOWED DOWN, AFTER ABOUT 15 MINS THE WARNING LIGHT WENT AWAY, THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES DURING THE WEEK UNTILL I COULD HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT BY MY TECH. WHEN I TALKED WITH MY TECH, HE SAID THAT THERE WERE NO CODES AND HE RECOMMEND THAT INSTEAD OF HAVING THE PASSENGER SEAT IN THE FULL BACK POSITION THAT I SHOULD MOVE IT FORWARD A LITTLE, THAT WAY THE AIR BAG MODULE WIRES WOULD NOT BE STRESSED. AFTER MOVING THE PASSENGER SEAT FORWARD ABOUT AN INCH OR SO THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS NOT COME BACK SINCE, CURRENT MILEAGE ON VEHICLE IS 164,327. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY FAILED AND THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WERE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO VIEW THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,734. UPDATED 02/06/14*LJ THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS AN INTERNAL UNDERHOOD BUSSED ELECTRICAL CENTER FAILURE.

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

BOTTOM OF REAR HATCH STRUT / DEFOGGER, DRIVERS SIDE, SHORTED OUT CAUSING A FIRE WHICH TOTALLY DESTROYED THE CAR. *TR

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

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

WHILE DRIVING, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, A KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM REGARDING THE FUSE BLOCK UNDER THE HOOD WAS THE CULPRIT. THERE IS A COPPER WIRE WITHIN THE FUSE BLOCK THAT LOSES CONNECTION DUE TO THE HIGH HEAT THAT OCCURS IN THE FUSEBOX CIRCUITRY BUT TO DATE, GM HAS NOT ISSUED A TSB OR RECALL CONCERNING THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

I'VE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING WARNING" COME ON, ABOUT ONCE A WEEK FOR THE LAST MONTH ON MY CAR IN THE DRIVERS INFORMATION DISPLAY IN THE DASH. ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD THE FIX PRESCRIBED BY GM, A CLIP ON THE CONNECTOR FOR THE STEERING POSITION SENSOR, INSTALLED. THAT STOPPED THE ISSUE UNTIL RECENTLY. YESTERDAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK THE SYSTEM KICKED ON AND LOCKED THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL REPEATEDLY. IT JERKED THE CAR TO THE RIGHT, PULLING ME PARTWAY OFF THE ROAD AND ALMOST INTO A RAVINE. *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

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME, CHECKED CONNECTORS UNDER BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SEATS AND USED A ZIP-TIE TO ENSURE THE CONNECTORS WERE TIGHT. AFTERWARDS, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OFF, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. *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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. ...UPDATED 11-01-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE FUSE BLOCK UNDER THE HOOD AND WAS HEAT RELATED, DUE TO POOR DESIGN.

WHILE TRAVELING TO MACON GA ABOUT 11 PM IN THE EVENING, THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS JUST WENT OUT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THE DEALER STATED THE FIX WOULD BE NEARLY $1,400 TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS (REQUIRED REMOVAL OF THE BUMPER). THEY NEVER STATED THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTS OR THE LOW BEAM SYSTEM OR IN GENERAL, ASSUMED ANY RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER. VERY DISAPPOINTED TO DATE; SOUNDS LIKE NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT ONE THAT WILL COST ME TO CORRECT. *TR THE CONSUMER STATED GM ACKNOWLEDGED THE ROOT CAUSE AS A DEFECTIVE WIRE IN THE UNDERHOOD BUSSED ELECTRICAL CENTER, YET NO DIRECTIVE HAS BEEN ISSUED TO RECALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. UPDATED 01/08/14

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO AIR BAG CONNECTOR BENEATH DRIVERS SEAT. MOVING THE SEAT POSITION WILL CAUSE THE WARNING LAMP TO COME ON OR TURN OFF. I'M AFRAID THAT ONE DAY I'M GOING TO NEED MY AIR BAG AND IT'S NOT GOING TO DEPLOY. IT APPEARS, FROM COMPLAINTS ON AN CORVETTE OWNERS FORUM, TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE C6 CORVETTE AND THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ADDRESSING IT.*JB

WHEN PRESSING IN THE CLUTCH TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CLUTCH PEDDLE REMAINED ON THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO HOLD DOWN HARD ON THE BREAK PEDDLE TO STOP AND STALL THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS IN GEAR AND AFTER STOPPING I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NATURAL (SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION). I WAS GRATEFUL THIS OCCURRED AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD OF HAPPEN IF THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE IN TRAFFIC AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALER AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER INTERNAL SEAL WAS RUPTURED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT THE SLAVE CYLINDER MAY ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 12,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT SMELLED GAS INSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE SEALS IN THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

USUALLY AFTER INITIAL START AND DURING LOW SPEED DRIVE AND OCCASIONALLY ON HIGHWAY SPEED THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH. SOMETIMES I COULD STOP, JUST SHUT THE MOTOR OFF AND RESTART IT AND THAT WOULD CLEAR THE MESSAGE. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT BEGAN WARNING MORE FREQUENT AND TOOK LONGER FOR THE MESSAGE TO CORRECT ITSELF. ON 3/26/2013... I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED, NEW TIRES AND THE WARNING MESSAGE LOOKED AT BY MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT THEY REPORTED AND ASSUMED THE NEEDED REPAIR.: 3/27/2013 44876 CHECKED DTCS FOUND C0710 PERFORMED BULLETIN 06-02-35-002B AND INSTALLED "CLIP" IN STEERING WHEEL POSITION SENSOR AND CLEARED CODES AND TEST DROVE NO FURTHER REPAIR. COST FOR REPAIR WAS $107.63 (CLIP WAS $2.63) I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUE SINCE REPAIR MADE BUT HAVE HEARD OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. STEERING TO ME WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND A $3 CLIP CURED THE PROBLEM... *TR

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

GAS GAUGE IS SHOWING ERRATIC LEVELS AND THEN SHOWS EMPTY WHEN THERE IS IN FACT FUEL IN THE TANK,...WORKS ERRATICALLY AND THEN STOPS WORKING AFTER MORE THAN 1/2 TANK OF GAS HAS BEEN USED, IF LEVEL OF GAS TANK IS BELOW 1/2,...GAS GAUGE SHOWS NO GAS/EMPTY,... THIS CAUSES DRIVER TO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN TANK AND SO CAUSES A VERY, VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHEN TRAVELING ON GEORGE BUSH TOLLWAY HERE IN PLANO TEXAS USA, MY CAR ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY CAUSING ME TO DRIVE TO SIDE WITH NO POWER IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT/ FUEL SENSORS IN THE GAS TANKS OF NUMEROUS CORVETTES FOR YEARS 2005-2007. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE SENSOR DUE TO IT BEING IN THE GAS TANK IS >$1500 AT DEALER. UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

OWNER OF 2007 CORVETTE COUPE. VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY.THE NEXT DAY HEADLIGHTS WORKED UNTIL THE CAR WAS WARMED UP THEN FAILED AGAIN. AFTER REVIEWING ONLINE CORVETTE FORUM THERE WERE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE PROBLEM WHICH IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE FAULTY WIRING INSIDE THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD. HAD TO REPLACE THE FUSE BOX AT A COST OF $400. BUT THIS ISSUE WILL LIKELY RE OCCUR BECAUSE THE NEW FUSE BOX WILL DEVELOP THE SAME PROBLEM OVER TIME SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN REDESIGNED. *TR

SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING APPEARED ON MY DIC. THE LIGHTS FOR THE ABS WERE ALSO LIT. THERE WAS NO TRACTION CONTROL ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

A VARIOUS TIMES THE MESSAGE, "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY. THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM WAS AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF BY THE COMPUTER. I READ ABOUT THE ISSUE ON THE CORVETTE FORUM AND THE CHEVROLET SERVICE BULLETIN CONCERNING THE ISSUE (BULLETIN # 06-02-35-002B). SINCE THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE I WANTED THE REPAIR DONE. HENDRICK CHEVROLET OF CARY, NC COMPLETED THE REPAIR. THE SERVICE CODE HAD BEEN SET AND THE REPAIR INVOLVED PUTTING A LITTLE PLASTIC COMB AT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OF THE TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN. THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM, SO I WAS CHARGED. WHILE IT WAS $47.87 IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR A DEFECTIVE DESIGN ON CHEVROLET'S MOST ICONIC AUTOMOBILE, THE CORVETTE. *TR

MY 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE COUPE HAS SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE HAS MADE POPPING NOISES. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. I EVEN TOOK IT ONCE AND TOLD THEM THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME TOPS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES I TOOK IT IN THE DEALERSHIP DID DO SOMETHING THAT MADE AN IMPROVEMENT BUT THE NOISES COMES BACK. NOW IT IS A CONSTANT AND EMBARRASSING NOISE FROM THE TOP. EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR RECALL I QUESTION WHETHER A TOP MIGHT HAVE BEEN PUT ON TO MAKE THE SALE SINCE I WANTED A PAINTED TOP INSTEAD OF A GLASS TOP. THIS IS MY 4TH CORVETTE AND HAVE NOTHING BUT BAD EXPERIENCES WITH GLASS TOPS. MY QUESTION IS: WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THESE NOISES. *TR

I HAVE HAD SINCE THE FIRST OCCASION APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO, THE LIGHTS WOULD SHUT OF OR NOT TURN ON AT ALL WHEN THE CAR WOULD WARM UP. ONCE THE CAR COOLS THE LIGHTS WILL TURN ON, OR THE LIGHTS WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE CAR REACHES A WARMER TEMPERATURE. *TR

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

LOW BEAMS TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

2007 CORVETTE LIGHTS WILL STOP WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 10 TIMES. ALL THE TIMES EXCEPT ONE WERE ON FAMILIAR ROADS WHERE I COULD STOP. ONCE WAS AS CLOSE TO A DISASTER AS POSSIBLE. SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED IF THIS GM ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. *TR

LOW BEAMS WENT OFF. AFTER MULTIPLE VISITS TO DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST A SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR A REPAIR SHOP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 114,000. ...UPDATED 07-10-13 *BF

JULY 03, 2012 9PM - LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO TURN ON EITHER AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY BY SWITCH. FOR NEXT SEVERAL DAYS/NIGHTS THE LOW BEAMS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON WHEN THE CAR WAS COLD AND TURN OFF AFTER THE CAR WAS WARM. SEARCHING THE INTERNET IDENTIFIED THE UNDERHOOD FUSE BLOCK AS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE, MANY CORVETTE OWNERS HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE LOW BEAMS AND ISOLATED THEIR PROBLEM TO THIS FUSE BLOCK. I REPLACED MY FUSE BLOCK JULY 15 AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I DISASSEMBLED THE REMOVED FUSE BLOCK WITH THE INTENT OF REPAIRING IT SO I WOULD HAVE A SPARE FUSE BLOCK IF THE NEW FUSE BLOCK FAILED. AFTER EVALUATING THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE FUSE BLOCK I CONCLUDED THAT THE FUSE BLOCK WILL HAVE POOR LONG TERM RELIABILITY. I COULD REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILURE BUT ANY AND EVERY OTHER CIRCUIT IN THE FUSE BLOCK IS VULNERABLE TO THE SAME FAILURE CAUSE. EVERY COMPONENT/SYSTEM THAT RECEIVES POWER THRU THIS FUSE BLOCK IS VULNERABLE TO EVENTUALLY EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT POWER PROBLEMS.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO AIR BAG CONNECTOR BENEATH DRIVERS SEAT. MOVING THE SEAT POSITION WILL CAUSE THE WARNING LAMP TO COME ON OR TURN OFF. I TIGHTENED THE CONNECTORS WITH WIRE TIES WHICH MADE THE PROBLEM LESS LIKELY, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM STILL ON OCCASION OCCURS. I'M VERY AFRAID THAT ONE DAY I'M GOING TO NEED MY AIR BAG AND IT'S NOT GOING TO DEPLOY. IT APPEARS, FROM COMPLAINTS ON AN CORVETTE OWNERS FORUM, TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE C6 CORVETTE AND THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ADDRESSING IT. *TR

WHILE TURNING INTO A GAS STATION THE VEHICLE FRONT LEFT BRAKE LOCKED AND PULLED THE VEHICLE HARD LEFT HITTING A CURBED AREA. THE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM ERROR WAS DISPLAYED. I APPLIED BRAKES, WAITED FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE. *TR

DRIVING AT NIGHT, 45 MPH ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, HIGH BEAM REMAINED FUNCTIONAL. SINCE THAT TIME WHENEVER DRIVEN LOW BEAMS WORK UNTIL ENGINE COMPARTMENT WARMS UP AND DO NOT WORK AGAIN UNTIL ENGINE COMPARTMENT COOLS DOWN. *TR

VALVES BROKE. CAUSING SMOKE AND OIL RELEASED ON THE HIGHWAY. VALVE GUIDES BROKE. THE ENGINE HEADS FAILED CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND A FIRE TO THE ENGINE. *TR

INVESTIGATION EA09-002 THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THE "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM" CAME ON. TOOK CAR TO RICHARD HIBBARD CHEVROLET (NOW OUT OF BUSINESS AS A CHEVROLET DEALER) IN CLAREMONT CALIFORNIA. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTATION SENSOR (PART NO. 15231656, SENSOR 6.522) AND SAID THAT THE PART HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED 05/11/2011 AT A COST OF $326.12. THERE HAS BEEN NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE SAME PROBLEM WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY REPAIR FOR EARLIER CARS. *TR

THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THE C6 BASE MODEL CORVETTE 2005-2008 WILL STOP WORKING WITH OUT NOTICE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE COPPER WIRE CONNECTIONS LOCATED WITHIN THE FUSEBOX. DUE TO DEFECT AND BEING CLOSE TO ENGINE BAY, HEAT CAUSES A BREAK IN THE CIRCUIT WIRE THAT SEPARATES AFTER THE ENGINE BAY HEATS UP (APPROX. 20 MINS OF DRIVING) AND WITHOUT NOTICE, YOUR LIGHTS GO OUT. VERY VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AT SPEED.PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THE FUSEBOX. *TR
