Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Air bag light comes on and off. Seems to me its could be something electrical, cause it doesn't stay on all the time. Seems like this should be a safety recall but I'm the 4th owner of this Corvette so dont know if there was a recall and it never got fixed. Thanks. It comes on and no set pattern for the air bag light to come on. Sometimes it doesn't come on for a week or two and sometimes it stays on.”
NHTSA complaint #11271218, filed 2019-10, 70,000 miles“Possible takata air bag malfunction, driver side air bags deployed when I went to place transmission in reverse to back the car from driveway. I had not moved when air bags deployed causing shoulder and neck injuries to occur. The escaping gas from the air bag burnt the hair off of the left forearm.”
NHTSA complaint #11115754, filed 2018-08, 32,744 miles“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 little. 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 . …”
NHTSA complaint #10681078, filed 2015-02, 40,000 miles“Airbag light intermittently lights, when I havent adjusted the seats and not speeding. Seems to be a common occurence with Corvette owners. Saw it a few times before but it stopped before I took it into the dealers for service.”
NHTSA complaint #10916003, filed 2016-10, 31,000 miles“When I accelerate hard from a stop and get to a high speed ( over 80 MPH ) the airbag light comes on. When the airbag light is on all airbags are disabled. The only way to turn the light back of is to turn off the car and restart it. It will be fine until I accelerate quickly to a high speed. This car was made to drive fast and this shouldn't happen. I have taken to the dealer many times and they cannot fix it. This is a know problem with the Corvette as I have talk with other owners who have the same problem.”
