Consumer Description

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
