2000 CHEVROLET CORVETTE — Complaint #643622
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:FLASHER UNIT filed October 25, 2007
NHTSA complaint #643622 (ODI reference 10206918) concerns a 2000 CHEVROLET CORVETTE and was filed on October 25, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 25, 2007. The vehicle had 17,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as exterior lighting:turn signal:flasher unit, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET CORVETTE cohort independently describe similar exterior lighting:turn signal:flasher unit failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2000 CHEVROLET CORVETTE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
TURN SIGNALS ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL STOP WORKING OR START. CAN'T FIX. HAVE OWNED THIS 2000 CORVETTE FOR 7 YEARS NOW. WE HAVE HAD THE TURN SIGNALS REPLACED TRYING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, OVER AND OVER AGAIN, BUT THEY STILL WILL JUST ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY. MY HUSBAND IS HARD OF HEARING AND HE DOESN'T REALIZE THEY ARE NOT WORKING. I AM WORRIED ABOUT HIS SAFETY. IN ADDITION, IT HAS BEEN VERY COSTLY AND FRUSTRATING TO US TO KEEP TRYING AND TRYING TO FIX IT WITH NO AVAIL. *TR
