Electrical System · reported Apr 9, 2018

The last 2 days when I drive at night the headlights (Low beams) shut off. I switch to the high beams and they work. This has happened in the dark and is dangerous because it happens about 30 or 40 minutes after driving the car. I let the car sit for 4 or 5 hours and then come back and they start working. It is the underhood bussed electrical center (Ubec) housing I suspect.

'takata recall' just bought a 2007 z06 corvette and lately I've been seeing a lot of complaints about the valve stems breaking and causing catastrophic engine failture causing the power steering and breaks to fail so now I have to pay 5000.00 + to get it serviced and every 10k miles do the same thing because the valve stem and guides get hot and start to wiggle

Engine · at 21,000 miles · reported Aug 19, 2017

At 65mph, driving down the highway, the car made a horrendous loud clattering sound and the motor locked up. Pulled to the side of the road to see oil pouring out the side of the engine block, where the valve was spit out - causing a huge hole in the side of the motor
