| My check air bag dash board light continues to go off and on. it was taken to the dealer several times and i was told unless it was on while i was there the problem could not be diagnosed. finally in 2008 i was able to drive to the dealer with the check air bag light on. the code said the drivers pre-tensioner needed to be replaced. that was done a few days later and the light stayed off for several months. when it returned i was told if they couldn't see the light no code was set. i spend a lot of time on the corvette forum. (over 24,000 post) this is a very common problem with the 2005 to current corvette. the owners have diagnosed the problem as defective connectors under the seats. the automatic seats moving causes the connectors to loosen and the light will come on. i came up with a simple solution that many of us do our selves. we zip tie the connector together. in my case it worked for several years but the light has started appearing again. this is not always the problem as forum members have had components replaced that seemed to help. it's an on going problem and one of these days a corvette air bag will not deploy during an accident. gm doesn't seem to care. *tr | |||

| Tl-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 has not been repaired. the manufacturer has not been contacted. the failure and current mileages were approximately 27,000. tb | |||

| 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? *tr | |||

| 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? *tr | |||
