Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet corvette. The contact was driving approximately 60 MPH and as he attempted to engage the left turn signal prior to changing lanes, the turn signal failed to operate. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they informed him that the turn signal bulb had overheated and caused the wiring harness to melt. The wiring harness, turn signal bulb and socket were replaced. The failure mileage was 19,617. Updated 03/24/11 updated 1/5/12
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.
