Consumer Description

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. FOUND OUT THRU RESEARCH ON THE CORVETTE FORUM AND TALKING TO CHEVY DEALERSHIPS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.USUALLY FIXED BY UNPLUGGING AND CLEANING OR TIE WRAPPING THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE SEATS.WHICH USUALLY KEEPS THE LIGHT OUT TEMPORARILY. BUT IT COMES BACK ON EVENTUALLY AND DISABLES THE AIRBAG SO IT WON'T WORK IN A CRASH. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.(DIFFERENT TYPE CONNECTOR MAYBE)I BELIEVE IT EFFECTS CARS FROM 2005-2013.I FOR ONE DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY LIFE BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO INVEST IN A COUPLE DOLLAR CONNECTOR.DO YOU??
