WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? THE C6 (2005-2013) CORVETTE HAS A SERIOUS CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM. THERE WERE 215,000 PRODUCED AND MOST ALL OF THEM HAVE THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALERS WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. MANY OWNERS DRIVE EVERY DAY WITH THE CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT ON 100% OF THE TIME MEANING THE SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS MANY TIMES AND OTHER OWNERS ON THE CORVETTE FORUM HAVE ALSO. THERE ARE AROUND 20,000 MEMBERS AND WE FEEL WE ARE BEING IGNORED BY THE NHTSA AND GENERAL MOTORS. THE BUICK RECALL IS FOR THE EXACT SAME THING AND THE EXACT SAME THING IS CAUSING IT. THE WIRING UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. ARE WE WAITING FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT? PLEASE CALL ME FOR MORE INFORMATION. *TR

BRAKE SHIFT LOCK FAILS TO DISENGAGE AND LEAVES GEAR SHIFT STUCK IN PARK. LEAVES VEHICLE UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. GM IS AWARE OF THIS WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. CHARGES UNREASONABLE FEES TO FIX BECAUSE THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE ENTIRE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WHEN PROBLEM IS ONLY A MUCH CHEAPER SOLENOID THAT CAN BE REPLACED BY ITSELF. CAR WILL LEAVE YOU STRANDED WITH NO WARNING. *JS

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, IT WILL NOT MOVE TO DRIVE, REVERSE, OR NEUTRAL. *TR
