2007 Chevrolet Corvette airbags problems

Filed Feb 22, 2023 · Airbags, Electrical · GA

The Body Control Module has failed and there are no replacement parts available except used parts. The BCM is hard coded with the VIN. If you use a BCM from another car, certain safety systems are deactivated such as the air bags. The BCM is central to the electronic architecture so all other systems are at risk. The unit can be responsible for the car not starting, the headlights not working, the power windows and door locks failing, or in my case the active suspension not functioning. Since BCM's are widely used, this is a looming major safety issue for the nation because GM quit making new ones, no one else makes these parts, no one can repair the units. I know a number of C6 Corvette owners are using used parts which deactivates the air bags and the security system.

The airbag indicator light on the dash of the vehicle periodically lights up indicating a fault with the system. The car was checked by a dealer who could find no issue. The light resets if you cycle the vehicle on/off, but the problem returns randomly when driving the vehicle. The airbag system disabling itself without warning puts the driver at risk of not having the system deploy under conditions it should. The system resetting the warning to every on/off cycle is also misleading because unless you experience the behavior there is no reliable way to know that there is an issue with the SRS system on the vehicle.

The airbag warning light comes on when there is only the driver in the vehicle. When there are two people in the vehicle the airbag warning light goes off. I have had this checked at an independent Corvette mechanic and he says the parts are very expensive and not available at this time. I was wondering if you could tell me if this is a problem that has been reported by other Chevy owners? Where can I go to get parts? There has been no injury or accident. I would like for my airbags to work properly. In case of an accident lack of airbags could be a problem.

Warning light that indicates an airbag system malfunction comes on intermittently for no reason. Occurrs when vehicle is not being driven, but lights when you start the car. Thia ia a serious safety issue since the airbags wont deploy when it's lit. Car only has 13,000 original miles on it.

Airbag warning light comes on and off intermittently. After reading all over and trying to figure what's wrong it appears to be a wide spread issue. It happens at random times, slow speed around town or driving at highway speeds. What I don't like is it disable's the airbag when the airbag when on. Thank you

Airbag readiness light comes on intermittently. Seems to occur while the drivers seat is adjusted back and forth but not sure. There are hundreds of complaints about this in 2005-2007 corvettes. It occurs both stationary and in motion.

Depending on the position of the drivers seat the airbag indicator on the dash will indicate that the airbags are disabled. In the event of an accident if the airbags did not deploy it could result in serious injury or death. No event has yet to happen for my vehicle, but I feel unsafe knowing that the airbags have a defect that may result in them not being deployed.
