NHTSA Complaint #10637072 — 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

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. *TR
