ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
We were driving 55 and the car stalled. This has happened several times. Been at dealer and the codes show fine they replaced what they thought was issue and it still does this. Very scary
NHTSA complaint #11660289 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Happened twice within a day. The main electric fan on the radiator stopped working and the car overheated. Once at idle, was able to shut the car off safely. The second time, there was traffic on the highway, and the fan stopped working and the car started to overheat. Had to shut the car off and wait for it to cool down on the side of the road. When I got the car home, I found the electrical connector of the fan to be melted and fused together. There was no indicator that the fan would stop running prior to the engine overheating.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE AND IT HAS A PART THAT IS IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING. THE DASH CONTROL UNIT (PART # 25938052) IS FLASHING, WHICH MY CHEVROLET DEALER TELLS ME IT IS GOING TO FAIL. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE, AS I COULD LOOSE MY DEFROSTER CAPABILITY, FRONT AND BACK WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE VISITED 5 DIFFERENT GM DEALERS AND THEY ALL SAY THE PART IS EITHER BACK ORDERED OR DISCONTINUED. I CAN'T GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER. SINCE THIS PART WAS INSTALLED IN CORVETTES UP TO 2012 MODEL YEAR, I FIND CHEVROLETS INDIFFERENCE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE DISTURBING. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT CHEVROLET ONLINE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY RECENTLY CUT ME OFF AND HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND TO E-MAILS. I HAVE HEARD ANECDOTALLY, THAT CHEVROLET HAS MANY PARTS "BACK-ORDERED" WINK, WINK. THEY KEEP TRYING TO SELL ME A NEW CAR, BUT WHY WOULD I BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM THEM WITH THIS BEHAVIOR? THE PART STILL WORKS FOR NOW, BUT IT BLINKS CONSTANTLY AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO FAIL. ISN'T GM REQUIRED BY LAW TO SELL REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR A REASONABLE TIME?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY AUTOMATIC SHIFTER GETS STUCK IN PARK. I ALREADY HAD THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE SHIFTER A FEW YEARS AGO BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. ONCE I START THE CAR, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT TELL THE SHIFTER TO UNLOCK AND THEREFORE I CAN NOT GET IT IN GEAR. I HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT SEVERAL TIME. IT MAY TAKE LESS THAN 1 MINUTE TO ENGAGE WHILE AT OTHER TIMES IT MAY TAKE 5 MINUTES. I HAVE READ IN THE CORVETTE FORUM THAT IT IS HAPPENING TO QUITE A FEW CORVETTE OWNERS. THIS IS HAPPENING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY THAN BEFORE.

4/2015 CAR WAS AT DEALERSHIP FOR BODY WORK, WHILE IT WAS THERE, RECALL WORK WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE, GM RECALL 123146, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS DONE AND IT WAS REPORTED TO GM AS "WORK DONE" FAST FORWARD TO 8/2018 CAR WAS DRIVEN AT NIGHT AND LOSS OF LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WAS EXPERIENCED, SAME THING HAPPENED NEXT DAY. THESE ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL BEFORE "THE FIX" UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT DONE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE FUSE BOX AND I HAVE PICTURES OF WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE WHEN THE FIX IS DONE.

MY AUTOMATIC SHIFTER JAMMED IN THE D LOCATION AND WOULD ONLY GO TO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE OR PARK, AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN WITH THE BUTTON, THIS SHIFTER HAS JAMMED IN PARK IN THE PAST. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 26K MILES ON IT. AND IS NOT DRIVEN IN BAD WEATHER. NOT A GOOD FEELING TO BE TRAPED IN YOUR CAR.

RE: GM RECALL #13146 UNDERHOOD BUSSED ELECTRICAL CENTER (UBEC) HOUSING WILL EXPAND CAUSING FAILURE OF LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2014 BUT THE PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE REMEDIED. CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER IN EARLY OCTOBER, THEY ADVISED THAT PROBLEM IS "..BEING WORKED ON." . 3+ MONTHS SEEMS TO BE AN EXCESSIVE TIME TO WAIT FOR A REMEDY.

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.

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.

WHILE DRIVING THE VERHICLE ON I-55 THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH BLINKED AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. I WAS ON AN ELEVATED SECTION OF I-55 NORTH OF LAPLACE, LA. AND THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PULL OFF. I TURNED THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE OFF OF THE ELEVATED PORTION OF I-55 TO THE FIRST EXIT AND PULLED INTO A SERVICE STATION. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND THE LIGHTS WORKED, HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. DROVE TO MY DAUGHTERS HOUSE APPROX 15 MILES AND THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN. THE LIGHTS WORKED THIS MORNING. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT PROBLEM BUT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

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.
