My electronic stability control comes on regularly especially when i hit sand in driveway and tire spins which i expect but at other times the warning light comes on without any tire spin or condition that would warrant this. turning from a stand still is another time the lights will come on without any tire spin. my wife drives this car now and i got a newer one. i am worried about her safety as she is an older lady [xxx] and if brakes locked up or steering she would not know how to handle the situation.

I was on the interstate traveling approximately 60mph when my lights went out. i had to pull over, and their was a good deal of traffic. i discovered that my bright lights were working. i had this problem off and on for awhile. i took my car in to have it repaired. i got it back and continued having the problem. i have avoided driving at night which limits the use of your car. most people would consider this to be dangerous and definitely a safety issue-driving and having your lights go out in traffic. *tr

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
