Air Bag On-off Switch Problems of Chevrolet Volt

The passenger seat occupancy sensor fails was failing. The check airbag warning light would come on while driving with a passenger in the vehicle. This would disable the airbag (when the check airbag indicator light indicating that the passenger airbag is enabled switches to off. ) this is a dangerous failure. If the car knows that the sensor has failed then the �safe� condition should be to deploy the airbags or the �seat occupied� condition should be �latched true� until the vehicle stops. (a passenger cannot suddenly disappear when the car is moving at 35 or 40 mph). This happened repeatedly in 2020 and 2021. Vehicle was taken to dealer to address the issue - was told that the issue was resolved. Shortly afterwards the issue started again. Vehicle was taken back to the dealer April-2021 and I was told that the seat occupancy sensor had failed and needed to be replaced.

Service air bag warning comes on often when there is a passenger in the car. Will beep and come back on every time the pasenger moves. Even with no passenger it will sometimes come on. When it does come on, the air bag display will switch to off. This happens whether stationary or moving and on any type of road. This has been going on for a long time due to the extremely expensive fix of the passenger seat sensor.

While the vehicle is parked and the key fob is carried inside the owners pants pocket, the owner's keys will inadvertently press against the unlock button on the fob for an extended period of time (5 secs ?). The remote will in turn signal the Volt to power all four windows in the car to the "express window down" feature. During this time frame the owner of the car is unaware of the windows in the lowered position and if rain enters the interior of the car the interior & seats become saturated. This in turn may cause the passenger airbag occupancy sensor to malfunction and display the "service airbag" warning light on the driver instrumentation screen. There are reports from gm service departments telling customers the airbag occupancy sensor is defective because the owner got the seat wet and offer very little assistance. The express window down feature can not be switched off from any menu settings of the car. This is a clear recall that can adversely effect the driver / passenger airbag safely deploying.

My vehicle for awhile now has given me a service airbag warning when someone sits in the front passenger seat. This also happens randomly when no one sits in the passenger seat. The sensor will switch on and off and continually give me the dash warning light. I have researched this and found tons of other Volt issues with the same problem invoking a daily seat sensor that will not properly detect an occupant and will trigger the airbag on and off. This is extremely dangerous as it will not always properly detect if the airbag should be on or off which in the event of a crash could be fatal. Something this dangerous involving the airbag system should be part of a recall. I would like to Chevrolet to fix this ongoing issue that so many Volt owners are having. This repair is estimated at $800 and is very expensive to me for a safety feature that should work properly. I take great care of my car and have never spilled anything on the seat and have never been in an accident.
