Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dealers refuse to repair vehicle stating the extended special coverage has expired. Airbag light will not shut off due to wire harness problem and GM knows about the problem. I tried to get the car repaired but local dealer did not have the parts. And the coverage expired. . I receive the notice in may 2016. My car met the mileage standard, less than 120 k miles and within 10 years of ownership.”
NHTSA complaint #10984982, filed 2017-05, 30,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10541935, filed 2013-09, 29,600 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10585364, filed 2014-04, 25,687 miles“Dash airbag service light periodically illuminated. This condition (to date), has not resulted in logging any diagnostic fault codes, I.e.; DTC(s) b0012, b0013, b0016, b0016, b0019, b0020, b0022, b0023, b0026, b0033, b0040, b0042 or b0044, this illuminated service light fault is only rectified when either; a) I manually re-positioning the driver's seat until the light turns off, or b) I physically re-positioning the yellow (side-airbag) connector located under driver's seat. Either method results in only a temporary resolve, before the problem occurs again. …”
NHTSA complaint #10884698, filed 2016-07, 37,000 miles“As I, the owner , was driving home from work, I received the air bag warning light on the dash board cluster and moved the vehicle to the far right hand lane and slowed down, after about 15 mins the warning light went away, this happened a few times during the week untill I could have the car looked at by my tech. When I talked with my tech, he said that there were no codes and he recommend that instead of having the passenger seat in the full back position that I should move it forward a little, that way the air bag module wires would not be stressed. …”
