Chevrolet Corvette warning lights comes on

Filed Aug 11, 2021 · Transmission · CA

At first I couldn’t get it out of Park sometimes. Then it became more frequent & finally it wouldn’t go into Reverse or Park from Drive. The only available gears were Neutral & Drive. My son had to come & disconnect the battery because it wouldn’t turn off all lights & accessories. Since it wouldn’t start in Neutral I had to have it towed to my Chevrolet Dealership. This car only has 34469 miles on it so I’m not understanding how this could be happening! As it has now sat in the repair yard since July 29, 2021 waiting on parts to fix the problem to the tune of $1300 I think GM should cover that cost. I have kept this car in excellent shape & am proud of it, I get many remarks on its beauty! There is no reason this should happen on a car with 34468 miles on it. I have since seen many forums where a lot of other Corvette owners have had the same issue! $1300 is just the cost to repair the car to get it started so they can perform the maintenance I had an appointment for in the first place!

Seat belt pretensioner on the passenger side deployed (sounded like a shotgun blast in the cabin) without provocation. No accident, did not run over anything, etc. Going straight ~45mph on an empty street at 12:50am. Smoke billowing out of the cabin of my car, all the lights were on, bells were ringing, etc. It's as if I was in an accident, but no airbags deployed. Frightening experience! Gm said it is not their problem.

The vehicle dic display goes blank periodically. The analog gauges work at all times. When the display is blank, and while driving, the analogs will go full scale and all warning lights will illuminate for a few seconds. Then the analog gauges return to normal operation. While driving for a period of about 30 minutes or more, the display becomes operative, and all steering wheel commands function. The display and gauges operate normally for days. Then after sitting in the garage when I open the left door, days later, the display does not come on. And repeats the cycle. I have informed gm and have an open case. However, they have no immediate solution and I was told that there are no replacement instrument clusters available at this time. I was also told that there are a number of owners across the country that are experiencing similar issues with their dic's. A gm rep at the action center stated that all owners with this problem are waiting for replacement parts. They could give no expectation as to when the parts will be available. Gm knows there is a problem with the 2014 corvette instrument clusters.. I am now on a list of owners waiting for the word on when the clusters will become available. My car is not even 3 yrs old and gm doesn't have the part to fix it anywhere in the gm system? Mileage 813.0 I thought the vehicle needed a software update. I brought it to the local chevy dealer and they told me they attempted to update the software 3 x and each time it failed. They stated that they did not know what the problem was and could not fix the problem. When they returned my car, all gauges and displays were inoperative, including the infotainment system. I had an independent tech reprogram the system, and all returned to normal. However, the dic display is still intermittent. The display goes out only while it is sitting with power off.does not go out when driving.

Upon braking to enter a tight left hand turn in the country the dic displayed several warning indicators, ABS and traction control. The right front brake locked up (confirmed by the flat spot on the tire). I began modulating the brakes thinking that I had lost anti-lock brakes, but the right front brake had locked up. This reduced the braking ability of the car causing me to go off the outside of a left hand turn and into a ditch damaging some components of the front end. I was able to return home safely. The car was parked until a mechanic looked at it. A dialectic grease was applied to the connectors between the system and the wheels at all 4 corners. This seemed to resolve the issue as experienced on that day. Now, 5 months later all the dash lights involved in the active handling system have come on again. Service ABS, service traction control and service active handling all came on at the same time. The car will now need to return to the shop for some more diagnosing and repairs. This is a major safety issue. Having no active handling, traction control or anti-lock brakes does not make a daily drive unsafe. Not until applying brakes and you find the system locking up one wheel causing a loss of control. In an emergency situation it would be unsafe as well of course. We've come so far in improving the safety of our cars it's a shame that the same technology that improves the safety of our cars can also cause a vehicle to become unsafe.

In mid february of 2014 my right low beam headlamp on my 2006 chevrolet corvette starting turning off within 5-10 minutes of the headlamps turning on and staying off. Daily, each time the headlamps came on the low beam would work then go out. I took my car to the local chevrolet dealership explaining the right low beam goes out minutes after it comes on daily at dawn or dusk below is what the local chevrolet invoice c46040 dated february 25, 2014 states: concern: customer states the right low beam head light is inop advise cause: rf low beam bulb inop correction: replace rf low beam bulb, all lights operating at this time parts: 000 025735604 bulb tech: xxx I paid $441.36 to replace a low beam headlamp that gmc/chevrolet knew was causing issues since may 2013 gmc/chevrolet has done nothing to this date about announcing a recall but admits to the government that the intermittent headlight failure was due to an electrical short in the engine bay. At this same time my low jack tracking device started having issues and low jack repaired the issue at no cost but chevrolet charged me for their evaluation of the issue and said it was not the fault of the car. I disagree. I feel very strongly that the electrical short in the engine bay is also the culprit in this situation. I drive commute three times a week round trip 112 miles, the first 30 are before dawn and the last 56 are at night. I was driving with a faulty low beam headlight that could stop working at any time and presented a safety risk to me and other cars. I have called gmc multiple times asking for verification of this particular recall and have been told there is no recall. I feel that gmc/chevrolet must provide a recall to prevent more corvette drivers from experiencing situations like mine.

Driving at 1-35 MPH engine and electrical will shut off, all lights and engine shuts off. Put car in park, engine starts right away. In 2014 gm recall of 2005 cobalt and pontiac for same problem, it was said that six people died. I have the same problem. This almost happened to me. I am afraid to drive the car. Called gm and talked to a specialist named scott at 1‑866‑790‑5600 ext. 31087 . I was asked to take the car back to the dealership, so they will look at it for the 3rd time. This has been going on since may 08, 2013 -- almost 1 year. Please help me before something happens to me or my family.

After the car was started and I began to drive ,it would shut off the motor and lock the steering wheel. All the lights would work fine,but the steering wheel locked until I came to a stop and would turn off the motor and restart the engine. It was very scary because I could not pull over to the side of the road and restart the motor. I would have to stop in the middle of the road and start it. When I took the car into the dealer they said it was the key and key fob that was pulling the key out of the ignition and had to replace the entire key switch. This cost me $341.28 . I asked about any recalls or other people having the same problem and the reported to me that it is a common occurrence in the corvette. Sounds like what was and is going on now and I think I should be paid back the money I spent by gm.

I was driving my 2006 corvette at night and all of the sudden my headlights turned off, I was surprised and confused but was able to turn my high beams on, I pulled over and tested all the lights, only the low beams did not work, from there I used the fog lights instead of the high beams so not to blind other drivers and got home. I live in a suburban area of my county where there isn't much street lighting, when this happened it was very scary, luckily I didn't crash into anyone or anything. The next night I tested the lights and they came on fine, but after driving about 20-25 minutes they shut off again, used the fog lights so I could see some of the road, but visibility is low. I work at night so now I just turn the fog lights on when I start the car so when the low beams turn off I'll have some type of light. The low beams turn off every time I use the car, about 20-25 minutes into driving the car. The only night this didn't happen was when the weather was cool, I live in south florida but one night in the middle of december, the outside temperature was 59 degrees fahrenheit, I was able to drive the car about 45 minutes without the low beams turning off. I've read some cases that say the low beams turn off because of something in the fuse box overheating, I'm assuming this is why they worked on a cold night. Thanks in advance.
