Airbag light in the dashboard goes on and off intermittently. There is a lot of talk on the corvette forum of other people having the same issue. I'm concerned the airbag won't work if it's needed.

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
1. Strong fuel smell when the car is parked in garage. Believe it is coming from top of driver's side fuel tank. Vapor is so strong I'm afraid it will explode. Doesn't matter if tank is full or empty. 2. Seat belt air bag warning light is on in the driver's cluster unit. Car only has 35,000 miles. Don't think this is safe. Will need it checked out ASAP at dealer.
My car was seen by the dealer three years ago for the airbag warning light and they could not diagnose the problem because the warning light was not consistently staying on. Now my airbag warning light comes on and off while I am driving all the time. I survived two wars while serving in the army and now my life is in danger because of an airbag warning light that hundreds of other car owners have complained about.
The airbag light comes on at startup and stays on. Jiggling the yellow connector under the driver seat will make it go off sometimes. The car has an easy entry feature that somehow disrupts the yellow connector underneath the driver seat. It is my understanding that if the airbag indicator light is on, the airbags will not deploy in an accident. This seems like a major safety issue.
Since ownership starting 09/28/12 I have had multiple incidents of the air bag light for the passenger side illuminate. It is intermittent and comes and goes randomly. I just got it back from the dealer after complaining about it and they said they couldn't do anything since there were no codes in the computer. I'm a member of the corvette forum and have seen numerous postings concerning this problem. It seems to be the connector under the drivers seat that is designed so it drags and catches on the carpet thus moving the connector and its wiring. The dealer made no attempt to contact chevrolet technical assistance about this and just sent me on my way out the door. They did not attempt to check the wires under the seat when I asked about that. On one trip about a month ago I had a passenger on board and the passenger airbag indicator said it was still off when he was sitting there.
The airbag warning light appears every time I start the car and illuminates randomly while driving.
Air bag light comes on most of the time. Did a search this seems to be an on going problem.
