Nine problems related to front air bag sensor control have been reported for the 2014 Chevrolet Volt. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
All of a sudden, my 2014 chevy Volt with 70k miles start having airbag sensor errors on and off. I started to research and found a lot of other owners with chevy Volts generation 1 and 2 have similar issues. Very surprised that gm has not issued a recall for this and expect us to pay for the repair on their faulty system.
Volt has 90,000 miles on it & I have air bag sensor error message. Never been in an accident & never spilled anything on the seats. This is a major issue with the Volt. Chevy will not repair the issue & want $880. Enough people have had the same issue.
Airbag sensor light is on. Garage has already replaced left front and right rear impact sensors. Problem still exists. Garage has already spent 2 days trying to figure out problem. No luck. I just discovered, via a google search, that this is a common problem with my Volt. There should be a recall!.
The "service air bag" message intermittently appears on the dashboard while the car is in motion. The cost to replace the sensor per Chevrolet dealer is very expensive, over $800. I understand the same issue is reported in prior years model. The problem seems to apply to the 2014 model as well.
My car has an intermittent "service airbag" warning. It has been throwing a fault every so often for about a year. According to the dealership, the passenger seat presence sensor wiring is faulty.
My Volt is giving me a "service airbag soon" warning on startup. Car is kept in a garage. The dealership said it was because I cleaned my seat and got it too wet, but I used standard seat cleaner sparingly. Also, the drivers seat appears to receive the error and this seat has never seen any "moisture". Secondly, with no accidents or collisions, one of the front sonar sensors failed, with the dealership claiming it was due to bug buildup. Another $600 fix that I didn't do because it's nothing of my doing and that's an outrageous amount of money.
Several months ago my "service airbag" light started randomly coming on. I thought at the time that it was due to a failing 12v battery. So I replaced the battery and initially, the warning went away. Then after about 3 weeks it started randomly coming on again. Then after another week or so, it would come on every time you drove the car, but I could just acknowledge the warning and it would stop. Now, just 2 days ago, that no longer works. It will come on every time you start the car and also randomly as you are driving down the road. In my 1. 5 hour commute to work, it probably came on 40-60 times. Sometimes not for 5 or 10 miles, sometimes just as soon as you pushed the button, it would come on again. This is a known issue for Volts and other gm vehicles and I've heard the problem is in the airbag sensor in the passenger seat. If that is the case, it is definitely because of a bad part and not wear and tear because I use my car to commute 100+ miles and I hardly ever have anyone sitting in the passenger seat. I have been told this repair will cost anywhere from $800-1500 to fix. There needs to be a recall for this serious issue because there is no way a safety system should just fail like that, rendering the car dangerous for any passengers. I also shouldn't have to pay $1000 to replace a poorly designed part on my car that causes a major safety issue. Please investigate this further and implement a recall to get this repaired before someone is killed.
The warning "service airbag" appears randomly on the display. This may concern the passenger airbag sensor. Appears with or without any passenger on the seat.
Air bag sensor and computer system malfunction the driver side sensor at times malfunction and so the software disable the air bag system as a whole. The service air bag message comes on for few minutes and then disappears assuming everything is ok. Took it to the dealer and they informed me that I need to change whole airbag sensor kit and would cost me more than 1300 dollars. This should be a recall as this relates to safety.
