U.S. upgrades Corvette headlight investigation

David Shepardson
Detroit News Washington Bureau


Washington — Federal auto safety regulators on Tuesday upgraded an investigation into more than 100,000 Chevrolet Corvettes after complaints that the low-beam headlights suddenly stopped working.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it is upgrading its investigating of 103,374 2005-07 Corvettes to an engineering analysis after reviewing 95 complaints and reports from owners reporting a loss of both low-beam headlights while driving at night without warning. The agency opened a preliminary investigation in May after receiving 30 reports of the problem. NHTSA also received four reports of the issue in 2008 Corvette cars.

In one of the reports, a driver ran over a discarded tire while attempting to pull off the road, NHTSA said. Some complaints said the problem is intermittent and some reported that low-beam function returned after a period of time, typically after the vehicle has been parked. The high-beam headlights and fog lights remain operational, NHTSA said.

Ballasts? or a short tripping a circuit breaker can't be hard for gm to figure out, but thell spend more time and money denying a problem than it would cost to stand by there product and do the right thing...
like fixing it! (BTW i a had a 2007 for 5 years and didn't have any issues with the lights.)
 
95 out of 103,000 warrants spending our tax dollars on an investigation??? :)

Chances are the investigators are on salary so it's nice to see them working on something useful for a change.
