Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette

Check air bag light is on again. It goes off and on randomly. When is this going to be corrected? my Corvette has been at the dealer numerous times for this issue. They just move the wires under the seat and the light goes out for awhile. At one point they said the pre-tensioner was defective and replaced it. I had an extended warranty at the time and paid my $200 deductible. A few months later the light was back and my dealer was shut down by gm. It went out because they moved the wires not because of a defective tensioner. Their tech 11 saw an open circuit, not a defective tensioner. They owe me $200. That's a laugh. I zip tied the connector's under the seat. That last for awhile and the light comes back. This problem is the exact problem that the Buick was recalled for. The same fix is required for the Corvette. A connector under the seat needs to be removed and the wires soldered together are we waiting for a death? it will happen sooner or later. The air bag will not deploy when the light is on. I have filed many complaint's with the NHTSA and so have many members of the c6 Corvette forum with no luck or response to let us know that you even read them. I continue to hope to get a chance to talk to you. Please call of email me.

I have complained about this many times with no help or response for NHTSA or gm. Please read my previous request for help. Confirmation numbers 10546935,10544479,10489161, 10511438 and maybe others. It happened again today. I fixed it again with zip ties. I hope it works if I have an accident. This is a common problem with all c6 2005 thru 2013 Corvettes. I even read about a new c7 Corvette with a check air bag light. If you read my other complaints you will see I've had it in the dealers many times. They even replaced a seat belt pre-tensioner that I paid for with no luck. We know what the problem is. It's the connectors under the seat. They are defective and need to be redesigned and replaced before someone is killed because the air bag failed to deploy. You can google it and see many post on the subject. I'm a member the Corvette forum with over 25,000 post. It is a topic of discussion often. Our question that no one will answer is will the air bag deploy when the check air bag light is on? of course no one will answer that. Many owners have given up and drive around with light on.

The air bag light is lit solid when the car is on and will not shut off. This is a common problem with early model year c6 Corvettes (2005 - 2007) and gm has not issued a recall on it. . Read more...

My check air bag dash board light continues to go off and on. It was taken to the dealer several times and I was told unless it was on while I was there the problem could not be diagnosed. Finally in 2008 I was able to drive to the dealer with the check air bag light on. The code said the drivers pre-tensioner needed to be replaced. That was done a few days later and the light stayed off for several months. When it returned I was told if they couldn't see the light no code was set. I spend a lot of time on the Corvette forum. (over 24,000 post) this is a very common problem with the 2005 to current Corvette. The owners have diagnosed the problem as defective connectors under the seats. The automatic seats moving causes the connectors to loosen and the light will come on. I came up with a simple solution that many of us do our selves. We zip tie the connector together. In my case it worked for several years but the light has started appearing again. This is not always the problem as forum members have had components replaced that seemed to help. It's an on going problem and one of these days a Corvette air bag will not deploy during an accident. Gm doesn't seem to care.
