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.

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.

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..

Starting on or around august 2011 my air bag light comes on. It has come on and off intermittently since then. The fix is to jiggle the connector under the seat and then zip tie it. That normally last about 6 months or more but it always comes back. I am concerned that my air bag will not deploy in a severe frontal impact. The dealer is well aware of this problem and says it is something I am going live with. The problem I have with that is I am afraid it might be something I am going to have to die with.

Started my car after getting off work. Looked at my gauges before pulling out only to notice that my airbag indicator light staying lit. Turned the car on and off but the light continued to stay lit. Drove home with airbag light on. Upon further investigation on the internet.... There are a multitude of people with the same issues. The airbag light staying on appears to be caused via a faulty harness connection located under the seat. Seems that buick's (a gm built model car) have had the same issues but were recalled for the exact same thing. The fact that the airbag light is on means that the airbags will not deploy in an accident causing them to be useless and may lead to severe/fatal injury. Chevy is well aware regarding this issue because they have other model vehicles with the same seat harness configuration where recalls have been performed but has not done a recall on this safety feature on the corvette. This issue poses a sever safety hazard that requires immediate attention.

Air bag warning light came on. Fixed under warranty. Problem recurred on 10-2-12. Fixed by dealer. Now coming on intermittently. Could be very serious issue if it not just an errant code problem.
