1992 Chevrolet Corsica Exterior lighting Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the exterior lighting system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Exterior lighting reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR, THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WILL STAY ON. THEY WON'T GO OFF UNTIL RESTARTING THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES./ WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP THE CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD AND A LOUD BANG CAN BE FELT AND HEARD FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR./ WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ON OR WHEN MAKING A TURN, THE HIGH BEAMS CAN N0T BE TURNED ON OR OFF./ THE CAR WILL NOT STAY IN ALIGNMENT. I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL SETS OF TIRES DUE TO THIS. THE RIDE IS EXTREMELY ROUGH!/ THE PAINT IS JUST PEELING RIGHT OFF THE CAR. ANY TIME ANY MOISTURE GETS ON THE CAR, THE PAINT JUST COMES RIGHT OFF./ THE GAS GUAGE IS WAY OFF. WHEN IT READS HALF A TANK IT IS REALLY AT JUST ABOUT 2 GALLONS. NOTE: IT IS A 12.5 GALLON TANK.
