Air bag light goes on -- dealer tries to fix (at considerable expense) and said fix lasts for maybe a month or two. I have given up spending for this temporary fix -- I use my 3 point seat belt every time and hope it is good enough. . . . This problem is well known in the Corvette community and to gm, and has been for a long time. Gm simply refuses to come up with an appropriate fix for this and it is a dangerous situation.

Check air bag light. What is taking so long. This has been an on going issue with the 2005 thru 2013 Chevrolet Corvette. We have complained to the NHTSA by the hundreds if not more. The dealers don't know how to fix it. Gm engineering sent me a letter (I sent it to you) admitting they know about the problem but have no plans on a recall. Are we waiting for a death? gm recalled the Buick for the exact same problem as the Corvette. They are removing a defective connector under the drivers seat and soldering the wires. We Corvette owners came up with that plan many months ago. I am reluctant to do it myself for legal reasons. I'm a member of the Corvette forum with over 26,200 post and this issue is discussed every day. Help.

The airbag light comes on often. I have found that this is a very common problem for all c6 Corvettes (2005 through 2013). The problem is the connector under the drivers seat. If it is zip tied tightly by the owner, the light will go out for a while. When it comes back on, the zip tie must be replaced to get the connections to work again. Bad connector should be recalled in my opinion. Worried that when the light come on that the air bags are disabled. Very dangerous.

Airbag light went off. Searched forums and it is a common issue with the Corvette (and other gm vehicles, apparently). Used a zip tie to tighten connector to fix the problem but the vehicles should be recalled to fix the connectors under the seats.

When the engine is running (after starting) the air bag light does not DE-energize.

Air bag light comes on most of the time. Did a search this seems to be an on going problem.

About every day while driving my Corvette. The service active handling light will come. And my brakes will start jerking. Also the air bag light keeps coming on and going off the whole time I drive it. I have seen many other people having the same problems with there 05 Corvettes. Something needs done about this. Gm needs to step up and recall for these problems before someone really gets hurt. . Please help.

This is a letter sent to me about the check air bag light and that they know about it and have no plans on doing any thing about it. I hope things have changed. Please contact me for additional information. I have numerous emails from gm on the subject. [xxx] I am sorry that it has taken me sometime to get back to you about your air bag light, I had to speak with internal resources. The air bag light concern is caused by the seat belt connector under the drivers seat coming loose. There was a change made in 2008 that moved the connector that helps some but did not completely remedy it. It can also be seen in fewer numbers in 2008 ? 2010. It was driven by the connector being placed directly under the seat cushion. When a customer uses easy exit or memory so the seat moves at each door opening it will work the connector loose over time. The fix was to attach it to the seat frame so it did not get drug across the bottom of the carpet. In 2008 they made the wire a little longer to move the connector out of the way. I am not aware of any discussion for a recall or customer satisfaction action because it was self-declaring. I am sorry this is not the resolution that you wished for on this matter. I did look into the concern and I did speak with the appropriate departments. I am sorry to be the one to bring you this news. I do thank you for being diligent in reaching out to me. I do hope you have a good holiday, [xxx] Chevrolet customer care information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Air bag light on dashboard comes on intermittently.

I have complained to gm and NHTSA many times about this with no help from either. The air bag system on the c6 (2005 - 2012) Corvette is defective. The check air bag light goes off and on at random. We know what is causing it but gm will not fix it. I just received the letter below from gm explaining the problem and what is causing it. They admit they know there is a problem but have no plans on correcting it. Thousands of Corvette forum members complain about this. We have come up with our own temporary fix until gm redesigns the defective (bad design) connector under the seat. We zip tie it together. Many members drive with the light on all the time. Gm will not tell us if the bag will deploy when the light is on. I'm sure it wont. Are we going to wait for someone to be killed to fix it? I hope not. Letter from gm the air bag light concern is caused by the seat belt connector under the drivers seat coming loose. There was a change made in 2008 that moved the connector that helps some but did not completely remedy it. It can also be seen in fewer numbers in 2008 ¿ 2010.

Air bag light illuminates on dash for no reason. It comes on and goes off periodically for no reason.

Airbag light came, checked connectors under both driver side and passenger side seats and used a zip-tie to ensure the connectors were tight. Afterwards, the airbag light went off, but the problem has returned.

I have complained to the NHTSA several times with no help. You are our last hope to correct this safety issue before someone is killed or seriously injured. The check air bag light on the c6 Corvette (2005 thru 2013) comes on often. I'm a member of the Corvette forum with over 25,000 post and I know that this is an issue with most if not all c6 Corvettes. I have come up with a temporary fix. I install zip ties around the connector under the seat that is for the pre-tensioner. That will take care of the problem for awhile. Last time it was only a month but other times it will last for up to a year. Check out my previous complaints and you will see that I've had it in the dealers many times for this issue. They even charged me for a pre-tensioner that was not the problem. They know like my buddies on the Corvette forum know gm needs to design and install new and improved connectors. We don't know if the air bag will deploy if the light is on. Most of my buddies use the same zip tie trick. I hope your will give this issue serious consideration before you ignore it again. I see autos recalled for many problems that may or maybe this serious and I hope the Corvette will be recalled soon.

I bought a new 2005 Corvette 4/5/2005. Since new the check air bag light goes off and on. This is a serious problem that most of the 215,000 c6 owners experience. I am a member of the Corvette forum and it is discussed often. Many dealers across the us claim they have never heard of the problem. In my case it started shortly after I purchased the c6. Every time I took it to the dealer they told me to return when the light was on. That was almost impossible because it goes off and on. Sometimes a week or more goes by and it's okay. Finally when my warranty was up but I had an extended warranty I got in with the light on and they got a code. It was the drivers seat seatbelt pre-tensioner. That didn't fix the problem and gm shut down dealers across the us and mine was one of them. The members on the Corvette forum diagnosed the problem as defective (bad design) wire connectors under the seat. Every time the memory seat moves in and out it loosens connector. I came up with the plan to zip tie the connector together. Now owner's across the us use this method. It works temporarily. Sometimes for a year or more but now that my and others Corvettes have a few miles on them the problem is getting worse. I have to replace and enlarge the zip ties more often. I did it a few weeks ago and today the check air bag light came on again. This is a serious safety issue. Gm can't or won't answer the question "will the air bag work when the check air bag light is on". I'm sure they can't answer that. I have filed this complaint with the NHTSA several times with no help. What will it take to get some help with this serious problem. Will gm claim they didn't know about the problem? there is a gm custom care employee on the Corvette forum and he claims he has given this information to the engineers several times.

Air bag light comes on intermittently. Problem seems to be related to air bag connector beneath drivers seat. Moving the seat position will cause the warning lamp to come on or turn off. I'm afraid that one day I'm going to need my air bag and it's not going to deploy. It appears, from complaints on an Corvette owners forum, to be a very common issue with the c6 Corvette and the manufacturer doesn't seem to be addressing it.

From time to time the air bag light comes on and stays on. It will go off if I move the driver's seat back and forth a litle. I have taken it to the dealer and they can find nothing wrong even after taking the driver's seat out and completely re-installing it. This continues to happen from time to time and my concern is that I have come to ignore the light and one of these days the light will be on for a reason and I will ignore it . I have been told that many other 2010 Corvette owners have the same complaint my suspicion is that the issue is in the wiring which may be getting pinched from time to time as the seat moves back and forth.

I have complained about this several times with no luck. The c6 Corvette was produced from late 2004 until early 2013 and approximately 215,000 were produced. The check air bag light has been a problem from day one. Many owners have had or have the problem. Many dealers say they don't know what to do about it. In my case I took it to the dealer numerous times and was told if the light wasn't on when I took it in they couldn't help me. Finally after my thee years warranty was up they were able to get a code. A pre-tensioner was replaced and all was well for several months. By this time members of the Corvette forum diagnosed the problem as defective connectors under the seat. As the seat moved in and out they would come loose. I came up with a plan to zip tie the connectors. Many members used my method and were happy. After several years I had to redo mine with heaver zip ties because the check air bag light came back. Many members still have the problem as do many others. Do a google search and you will see what I'm talking about. When will someone be seriously injured or killed? I see many other autos have been recalled for the same issue. Probably because they are higher production autos. I hope something can be done about this before something serious happens.

Airbag lights will flash at random or stay lit. This indicated that the system will not functiion. Gm is aware of the issue, a frail ground signal, and will not fix the issue.

Air bag light comes on intermittently. Problem seems to be related to air bag connector beneath drivers seat. Moving the seat position will cause the warning lamp to come on or turn off. I tightened the connectors with wire ties which made the problem less likely, however the problem still on occasion occurs. I'm very afraid that one day I'm going to need my air bag and it's not going to deploy. It appears, from complaints on an Corvette owners forum, to be a very common issue with the c6 Corvette and the manufacturer doesn't seem to be addressing it.

The air bag light has come on. Car has a clean car fax.

Passenger air bag light shows off when my 120 pound wife sits in the passenger seat. . . Took the car to the dealer today and was told that it works if the passenger weighs 150 pounds. . . Please advise next steps as this seems very unsafe and I want the air bag functional for my passengers who are adults! was even told to have my wife put more things in her purse to add to her weight!.

Air bag light on the instrument cluster lit up and will not go away. I read about this issue from 100s of people on the Corvette forums, so it is a major problem.

The air bag light came on a few weeks after I bought the car and will not go off. Car had approximately 2,300 miles on it at the time. It is a solid light that is always on as long as the car is on. I took it to a dealership (crane Chevrolet) and they said they will not honor the warranty that I purchased for $2000 from the gray Chevrolet dealership in pennsylvania (also where I bought the car). Gray told me the warranty is good at any gm dealership in the country. I am going to call another local Chevrolet dealership and see what they can do.

The red airbag / srs indicator will intermittently display on the dash (this began approximately 2 years ago). Initial displays would reset upon cycling the ignition. The display has now been on for three days and has not reset. The dealer only speculates as to the problem and it has not been resolved. Automotive forums indicate that this is a chronic and ongoing problem with this particular make, model, and year vehicle. The concern is that the srs system is non-functional during these intermittent times and presents a significant driver safety concern.

The air bag light illuminates intermittently at all speeds and all weather conditions.

Air bag lights intermittently. Can elicit light by just moving seat around. It will spontaneously come on and turn off.

Check air bag light comes on often. It will stay on for a minuet or up to 7 or 8 minutes. I am a member of the Corvette forum with over 15,000 post. It is a problem that many c6 Corvette owners have with little to no luck getting it fixed. I have had this problem off and on since 2005. One period it went for over a year with no problem. I am trying to wait until the light stays on to take it to the dealer. I know how hard it is to trouble shoot an intermittent problem. Many forum members have had it fixed only to have to light come on again. No members have heard of a for sure fix. I wonder if my air bags even work and how does the dealer know they work if they can't fix the light?.

Red air bag light started coming on intermittently and has continued doing it for the past 6 years. The past 6 months or so it now stays on constantly.

Since shortly after the car was new, I have had repeated problems with the airbag malfunction indicator lighting up. I have taken the car to various authorized dealers numerous times to have the problem repaired. In all cases, the problem seems to get corrected but then reappears anywhere from several weeks to several months later. It's my understanding that when the airbag malfunction indicator is illuminated the airbag system is non-functional.

I have had an intermittent air bag light on/off for 8 years.
