What 2008 Chevrolet Corvette owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Smell gas from gas tank. Air bag light is on
Airbag light comes on due to faulty electrical connector underneath driver power seat. This is an extremely common issue that gm is aware of. There should be a recall by gm due to being a life safety system.
After filling tank with gasoline there is a leak. The fumes from the leak are very strong in my garage, requiring me to ventilate the area to prevent an explosion. I do not overfill. The auto-turnoff at the pump won't allow that. Apparently the leak is where the two tanks are connected.
Air bag readiness light comes on intermittently on dash. Just purchased vehicle. Car is very low miles showroom condition. This issue happened when turning vehicle on. After further research this has been an issue with these cars for at least 10 years and gm chooses not to rectify problem. It can make car unsafe to drive.
Wiring harness for drivers seat failed causing airbag system to be disabled. Fails at start-up. Strong fuel smell from driver's side. Vehicle stationary. Not cured by replacing gas gap and fuel pump.
Smell gasoline from driver's side .change gas cap didn't help
Airbag light is on. Connector under drivers seat wiring is too short and wire bundle pulled with seat movement. Bundle frayed and one wire pulled out. The seat moves in and out every time I get into and out of the car. Owned the car since new and dealer had removed the seat for service several years ago, possibly reinstalled incorrectly.
Airbag readiness red warning light on dash stays lit. Cause appears to be faulty or loose wiring/connector underneath seat.
Air bag light on instrument panel goes on and off . Came on yesterday then went off again . Seems like this may be caused by the seat moving to different positions. I contacted other people with this same style vehicle and they are having the same problem. All the dealer wants to do is change parts for a lot of money. With as many complaints they are getting this should be corrected. Light came on when car was started. The car has a memory seat that moves back when the driver exits the vehicle..
