Service airbag warning pops up when passenger is seated and moves in seat. Sometimes turns off their airbag. Recently within the past year the driver side is also malfunctioning saying to service due to seat sensors. Vehicle can be stationary or driving when this occurrs.

The passenger airbag wont work because the sensor in the seat is broken. Chevy is charging over $1,000 to repair. There has never been an accident. It happened out of nowhere. When reading online this is happening to a lot of people and the repair cost is extremely high for something that is completely chevy's fault.

Car was purchased used on 9/12/18 with 50k miles and soon after purchase the service airbag warning pops up intermittently everyday during short or long drives. Common complaint is passenger airbag sensor but I have not taken it to be diagnosed since common repair costs is over 800 dollars.

When passenger is seated, randomly a message stating "service airbag" seems to only happen with people who's weight is over 180 lbs.

Passenger front seat sensor for airbag system malfunctions, resulting in passenger airbag being turned off while adult passenger is in seat.

This vehicle has approximately 62,000 miles.

The passenger airbag seatbelt sensor faulty and gives notice on display. Intermittently stops turning on passenger airbag when someone is sitting in it. I has been doing this for about 3 years and does it everytime while driving. I have seen hundreds of posts online with the same issue. This is the second time I have filed this same complaint with no response.

Passenger pressence module sensor gets detoriated when the passenger seat moves back and forth. Basically ruining the too short wiring connecting to the sensors. This makes the airbag nondeployable. The computer thinks no one is sitting there, essentially. This occurred while driving and goes on and off, but has stayed on consistently.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Volt. The contact stated that the air bag wiring connection under the seat had a short, which caused the sensor mat not to function. Henderson Chevrolet (240 n gibson rd, henderson, nv 89014, 702-558-2438) was notified. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer issued three tsbs for the air bags. The failure mileage was not available.

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.

Service passenger airbag warning came on continuously. Two trips to the dealer, first time they tried to fix by cleaning a connection $196 and it did not work. Second time they had to replace the passenger presence sensor $636. 70. This was not covered under warranty I was told. Car had 68514 miles and was in service 4 years.

My sensor on the passenger seat is faulty my airbag service light keeps on turning on and off consistently. Never had an accident or spills on the seat.

My "service airbag soon" light has come on for the passenger side and requires a replacement of the passenger presence sensor and module. I have been quoted by the chevy dealer at $897 before tax. This has been reported by many other people before. Due to the sensor malfunctioning and not knowing if there is or isn't a passenger in the seat the airbag may or may not be active. This is extremely dangerous.

Passenger airbag sensor light came on and turns on and off randomly whether or not passenger is occupying the passenger seat. Unsafe if there is an accident as airbags won't deploy.

My airbag sensor intermittently comes in and off. I took it to a Chevrolet dealership and they said it was the passenger seat airbag sensor and that it would cost about $900. I have read on a Volt forum that this is happening to many of us. This should be covered by gm.

Constant service airbag warnings, started as intermittent, now it's constant. The passenger seat sensor is defective and would be extremely expensive to repair, this is an obvious design flaw with this vehicle, there's thousands of reports of this from other owners, it's something chevy should recall and repair free of charge.

Passenger seat belt sensor went bad and was required to be replaced by gm.

At 40,000 miles approximately, the check airbag sensor light came up. The dealer said that because it was out of the 36,000 mile warranty, it was not covered and it would be about $850 and there would be no guarantee that the sensor change would fix it. I refused the work for that price. I have driven another 135,000 miles and it is still on. Safety has been reduced due to the high charge for a manufacturing defect.

"service airbag" sensor issue on the 2013 chevy Volt. Is seems to be a common issue per the prior complaints I see. As stated by others, no water damage or anything has occured on the passenger side of my vehicle. In fact, I've only had people actually ride in the passenger seat 5 times in total in all the years that I've had it. So basically it isn't used. The issue is an airbag / sensor issue and there should be a recall by chevy to fix said issue! as others have stated. It does come and come but has been more frequent as of late even though the car passenger seat is not used!.
