Air bag warning light comes on. Connector under seat looses contact. Very common problem with corvettes.

Airbag warning light comes on and goes off each time the car is running. Sometimes it stays on for minutes, other times it may stay on the entire time the car is running. The car currently has 26000 miles. The light is on both when the car is sitting still in park and when it is being driven. Do I have airbag protection when this occurs ? The owners manual states that if the light is on the airbags may deploy for no reason. Very unsafe if car is being driven at highway speeds. Corvette owners need to be made aware of the risks involved in driving this car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet corvette. While driving at any speed, the air bag warning light illuminated and blinked on and off intermittently. The dealer and manufacturer were notified; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.

Airbag warning light goes on, rendering airbag inoperative. Poor connectors below seat, a design flaw, lead to this. Recurs no matter how often you return to dealer. This is so common in 2005 corvettes, and so potentially dangerous, that all 2005 corvettes should be recalled to have this defect repaired...

Air bag light on because of faulty connector disabling vehicle air bags. Not safe.

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.

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.

Red air bag light started coming on intermittently and has continued doing it for the past 6 years. The past 4 months or so it now stays on constantly.

Air bag light goes on if I move the drivers seat forward past a certain point. Dealer replaced the wiring harness 2 years ago but the problem did not go away.
