Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car was seen by the dealer three years ago for the airbag warning light and they could not diagnose the problem because the warning light was not consistently staying on. Now my airbag warning light comes on and off while I am driving all the time. I survived two wars while serving in the army and now my life is in danger because of an airbag warning light that hundreds of other car owners have complained about.”
NHTSA complaint #11190093, filed 2019-03, 5 miles“Abs light stays on. History: on 11/17/18 before driving my vehicle I had to adjust my driver's seat all the way back to accommodate my long legs after another person had previously moved the seat forward when they were sitting in the vehicle. When I started the vehicle the ABS light briefly flashed, then came on steady, then it after several minutes the light eventually went out while I was driving. The next time I started the car the ABS light came on, flashed briefly, then remained on steady. …”
NHTSA complaint #11156883, filed 2018-12, 18,900 miles“Since ownership starting 09/28/12 I have had multiple incidents of the air bag light for the passenger side illuminate. It is intermittent and comes and goes randomly. I just got it back from the dealer after complaining about it and they said they couldn't do anything since there were no codes in the computer. I'm a member of the Corvette forum and have seen numerous postings concerning this problem. It seems to be the connector under the drivers seat that is designed so it drags and catches on the carpet thus moving the connector and its wiring. …”
NHTSA complaint #10651595, filed 2014-10, 33,000 miles“The airbag light comes on at startup and stays on. Jiggling the yellow connector under the driver seat will make it go off sometimes. The car has an easy entry feature that somehow disrupts the yellow connector underneath the driver seat. It is my understanding that if the airbag indicator light is on, the airbags will not deploy in an accident. This seems like a major safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11025163, filed 2017-09, 28,028 miles“Indicator light warning that the air bag system is not working began appearing intermittently. It seems to come on and off while hitting bumps or by readjusting the seat belt.”
