Driving on highway at 60 mph and the low beam head lights went off without me turning them off. Car dash displayed " head lights suggested". they did not come back on.
While driving my 2005 Corvette my head lights will go out. Sometimes when I start my car they will not even come on. I cannot drive my car at night time.
I am driving at night all of a sudden my lights go out and will not come back on..... come to find out the fuse box gets to hot and the wires inside are affected causing it to fail the dealer says its not under warranty and I think this should be a recall.this almost caused me to crash into someone. If I did get hurt because of this I would file a law suit.
My low beam headlights went out with no warning. The interior light monitor on the dash shows the low beams as working. The fog lights and the high beams continue to work. I had to drive home with my high beams on.
The low-beam lights keep cutting-off when the engine temperature reaches normal temperature. After shutting down the vehicle, the engine cools-off and then the lights will come back on, only to again cut-off when the engine is turned back on again...

After the engine heats up (approx. 15 minutes) the low beam headlights go out. High beams will still work as well as fog lights. Once the car sits for several hours and cools down, the low beams will work again.
In my 2005 Chevy Corvette, driving North on highway I55 near the Louisiana/ Mississippi line at 10 pm my lowbeam headlights stopped working. Used hi beams to return home. When car sits for several hours and engine compartment cools off low beams work normally. When engine compartment heats up during normal operation lights extinguish again. Researched on the Corvette forum and found this to be a common problem. The issue is in the fuse box located in the engine compartment. A wire in the box breaks at a bend. I have made the suggested repair as per the forum but felt it important to report the problem as it put me in a dangerous situation.
While driving home tonight (a 20 minute drive)the headlights turned off by themselves. We tried turning off the car and restarting and also checked the fuse, neither fixed the problem. This is a safety issue and we are not the only one with the problem hopefully this complaint will help in getting the problem fixed.
While driving home from dinner, my low beam lights turned off with no warning. After pulling over and trying to remedy the problem to no avail. I ended up driving home with my high beams on. This problem happens more frequently and has put me and others at risk. Could please look into this problem.
While driving my vehicle at night, my headlights suddenly turned off. I pulled over and restarting the car hoping it was just a minor electrical short etc. However, the headlights did not respond. I was forced to drive 20 miles in the dark with my fog lamps and at times, my high beams. I am aware of an existing investigation relating to this problem and it appears that this problem is widespread. Clearly having your headlights turn off without warning when you need them poses a significant safety hazard to myself, any passengers and other motorists. I hope the investigation will continue resulting in a conclusive outcome and a resolution identified. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you.
I was driving my 2005 Corvette home at night and my low beam lights suddenly stopped working. There was nothing I could do, but use my bright lights, which was an obvious hazard to oncoming traffic. This is not the first time this has happened. The next day I started the car...my low-beams came on and seemed to work. I then drove my car and after only a few minutes the lights went off again. This intermittent problem has been consistently occurring. Due to the nature of the problem, I cannot believe there has not been a recall to date. This is an obvious safety issue that seems to be happening with many other 2005 Corvette owners.
Both of the headlight turned off. I was going around a corner and ended up in a field. Luckily I was not injured and the car made it with only a few scratches.
While driving in the pouring rain with my daughter following me in another car the headlights went out. We were on pa mountain roads and I did not know what happened. This was the most dangerous situation. We were 4 hrs from home, I thought the wipers were bad and my vision had failed and the state just didn't paint the lines on the rd. The situation was so bad I had to wait till we found the next exit ramp to pull over. I left the car running and noticed my headlights went off while I was paying for my food and gas. I had to drive home with my highbeams on!!! when we finally got home I was so shaken by the situation I looked it up online to find out this was not and isolated incident!!! recall this before someone is killed!!!
While driving for about 30mins. I noticed the low beam shut off with out a notice or anything. I tried turning them back on but nothing worked. The next day I tested them out and they worked but they only stayed on for about 25mins. Than they shut back off.
Driving at night, low beams suddenly shut off (both sides). Pulled over and tried toggling the light switch through variaous settings. Driving lights would turn on and off, but low beams would not. High beams worked, so drove home with hihg beams. Next night, low beams worked again but turned off after 10 minutes. Appears after car warms up, low beams switch off. Now can only drive at night using high beams or driving lights after low beams switch off.
