NHTSA Complaint #11209496 — 2010 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

LAST WEEK THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT LOCATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON MY 2010 CORVETTE CAME ON INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE OPERATIONS OF MY AIR BAG, AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ITEM REQUIRED ON VEHICLES BY FEDERAL LAW. DOING SOME WEB RESEARCH, I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN #15643 DATED FOR VEHICLES REPAIRED ON OR AFTER 4/21/16. WHILE THE 10-PAGE NOTICE PROVIDES ALL THE DETAILS, IN SHORT, A CONNECTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. TAKING MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER TODAY, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLES PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A CONNECTOR THAT WAS UNPLUGGED, PROBABLY DUE TO SEAT MOVEMENT. SO, MY EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT G.M. IS COVERING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IT IS NOT COVERING THE EXACT PROBLEM ON THE PASSENGER SEAT? I AM CERTAIN THE CONNECTOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED BY THE SAME ENGINEER THAT DESIGNED THE ONE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I AM CERTAIN THEY WERE BOTH MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME VENDOR. I AM CERTAIN THE MATERIALS ARE THE SAME. THE RESULTING PROBLEM IS THE SAME. THE PASSENGER SIDE CONNECTOR PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND G.M. SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR.
