2010 Chevrolet Corvette

The contact's daughter owned a 2010 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed on a rainy night, there was another unoccupied vehicle stopped side ways in the middle of the highway with no hazards lights activated. The contact stated that the front driver's side of the vehicle crashed into the other vehicle. The contact stated that the driver's side and passenger's side air bags failed to fully deploy as needed. The contact was occupying the rear passenger's side seat and was wearing a seat belt; however, the contact was propelled between the front driver's side and front passenger's side seats, causing the contact's left shoulder to hit the driver's side seat. The contact sustained a right shoulder dislocation, headache, neckache and soreness all over the body. The contact's daughter who was occupying the front driver's side seat hit her face against the steering wheel and sustained bruises and minor cuts on the face. The driver also sustained soreness on the shoulders, knees, feet, back, head and the face. The contact's niece who was occupying the front passenger's side seat hit her forehead against the windshield and the windshield was fractured. The contact 's niece sustained cuts on the forehead and severe neck pain that required her to be out of school for an extended period of time. The ambulance transported all passengers to the emergency room, where medical assistance was provided. The vehicle was towed and totaled. A police report was filed but the contact did not have the information available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure occurred because an object that was hanging on the driver's key holder had caused the ignition switch to turn off. No assistance was provided. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was not available.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. SEEMS TO ME ITS COULD BE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL, CAUSE IT DOESN'T STAY ON ALL THE TIME. SEEMS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL BUT I'M THE 4TH OWNER OF THIS CORVETTE SO DONT KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND IT NEVER GOT FIXED. THANKS. IT COMES ON AND NO SET PATTERN FOR THE AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T COME ON FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON.

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.

1) CHECK AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ADJUSTING DRIVERS SEAT. FAULTY WIRING IN SEAT WIRING HARNESS. 2) CHECK AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR WHEN PARKED. MOVING SEAT BACK, FORWARD, UP/DOWN WILL CLEAR THE CHECK AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT, BUT WARNING RETURNS. 3) RECURRING ISSUE ON MULTIPLE DAYS.

FROM TIME TO TIME THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. IT WILL GO OFF IF I MOVE THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK AND FORTH A LITTLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG EVEN AFTER TAKING THE DRIVER'S SEAT OUT AND COMPLETELY RE-INSTALLING IT. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME AND MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE COME TO IGNORE THE LIGHT AND ONE OF THESE DAYS THE LIGHT WILL BE ON FOR A REASON AND I WILL IGNORE IT . I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MANY OTHER 2010 CORVETTE OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT MY SUSPICION IS THAT THE ISSUE IS IN THE WIRING WHICH MAY BE GETTING PINCHED FROM TIME TO TIME AS THE SEAT MOVES BACK AND FORTH. *TR
