Consumer Description

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE NHTSA PREVIOUSLY OPENED AN INVESTIGATION IN 2013 REGARDING C6 CORVETTE HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM) FAILURES FOR YEARS 2005-07. I FILE THIS CLAIM BECAUSE THE PRODUCTION YEARS ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE YEARS REFERENCED. HENCE, MY 2008 IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM - LOW BEAM FAILURES ON ROADWAYS AT NIGHT. I UNDERSTAND NOW FROM NEW RESEARCH OF MY OWN THAT LATTER YEARS ARE ALSO IMPACTED BY THE SAME ISSUE. ALTHOUGH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE UNAFFECTED, THEY DO NOT PROVIDE APPROPRIATE NIGHTTIME ILLUMINATION. USING HIGH BEAMS ARE AN UNDESIRABLE ALTERNATIVE. CONSIDERING GM'S LONG AND PERVASIVE HISTORY OF SHUNNING SERIOUS VEHICULAR ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS ONLY UNTIL THEY REACH A NATIONAL SCALE (VIA NATIONAL MEDIA OR ACT OF CONGRESS), AND AFTER CONTACTING A LOCAL DEALER LAST WEEK, THEY HAVE NOT ACCEPTED ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO REMEDIED WHETHER IT BE UNDER SAFETY, TECHNICAL BULLETIN, OR RECALL. HAVING NO TRUST WHATSOEVER OF GM OR OTHERS LIKE NISSAN, BEING TOO BIG TO CARE, I AM PLACING MY TRUST IN THE NHTSA. THANK YOU. *TR
