Warning Light On problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette

Air bag warning light comes on. Connector under seat looses contact. Very common problem with Corvettes.

Airbag warning light comes on and goes off each time the car is running. Sometimes it stays on for minutes, other times it may stay on the entire time the car is running. The car currently has 26000 miles. The light is on both when the car is sitting still in park and when it is being driven. Do I have airbag protection when this occurs ? the owners manual states that if the light is on the airbags may deploy for no reason. Very unsafe if car is being driven at highway speeds. Corvette owners need to be made aware of the risks involved in driving this car.

Airbag warning light goes on, rendering airbag inoperative. Poor connectors below seat, a design flaw, lead to this. Recurs no matter how often you return to dealer. This is so common in 2005 Corvettes, and so potentially dangerous, that all 2005 Corvettes should be recalled to have this defect repaired. . .

My airbag warning light continues to stay on while driving.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Corvette. While driving at any speed, the air bag warning light illuminated and blinked on and off intermittently. The dealer and manufacturer were notified; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.

My air bag indicator light comes "intermittently". This happens at legal operating speeds and normal conditions. It will even happen while standing still. Gm recalled a number of buicks and gmcs that have a problem with the airbag warning light staying on (some 2008-2009 and all 2010-2013 Buick enclave and GMC acadia, some 2009 and all 2010-2013 Chevrolet traverse, and some 2008-2009 and all 2010 Saturn outlook to repair the wiring harness of seat mounted side air bags). The fix was to splice the harnesses and solder the wires together! could this be a fix for the Corvette too? should the Corvette have been involved in this recall?.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that the air bag warning light kept illuminating. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer and they advised her that when she moved her seat back and forth, it fractured the wire for the air bags. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and current mileage was approximately 27,000.

Several years into ownership (I purchased new) I noticed intermittent air bag warning light while driving. It would not stay persistent. This would happen infrequently. Several years later the airbag light more frequently would flash but not stay persistent. Now the light is permanently on. No accidents have triggered the air bag light. No modifications to the air bag system have been implemented. No modifications to the safety systems at all. Every day driving and use and for no apparent reason the air bag safety system has been rendered disabled by the cars systems. For the 2005-2013 Corvettes owners believe that one or several of the following may contribute to the failing air bag system: seat retensioner, under seat wiring harness, under seat wiring connectors, the power seat controls having an influence on the functioning of the air bag system.

I filed my first complaint 8/1/08 with NHTSA and nothing has changed. My number is 10236693. My air bag warning light goes off and on. I took it to the dealer and of course the light was off. They said to bring it back when the light is on. I've had the car over four years and it's never on long enough to take it in. How long do I have to drive it not knowing if I'm protected?.

The contact owns 2005 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while driving at 10 mph, the check air bag warning light illuminated. The failure occurred on numerous occasions.
