Warning Light On Problems of Chevrolet Volt - part 2

Paid dealer $160 to find out passenger presence module had failed. They're asking for another $820 (mostly labor) to fix the issue by replacing with part #22968438 in the passenger seat. . . So I'm driving around with a bad airbag I guess. Can't see spending 1000. 00 right now to fix a blinking warning light. I see on the web that others are also having this problem, and wonder how many Volt owners are driving with bad airbags waiting for a recall to be announced. Seems like a part that just shouldn't have much wear-and-tear, and should maybe never become an expensive repair issue. Engine, tranny, tires, etc. - sure. But not the dang airbag system.

My passenger occupancy sensor is malfunctioning resulted in an airbag warning light appearing. I understand this is a common problem with this model of chevy Volt. The replacement part is prohibitively expensive ($800+). Is there a recall in the works? thank you. Matt b.

Passenger seat presence sensor is faulty, causing "service airbag" warnings and airbag warning light to illuminate. Problem is intermittent, but once sensor is tripped, errors and warning messages appear until vehicle is powered off. Happens frequently - many times per day. I don't know if this issue is actually affecting the airbag's functionality. I have learned that this is an expensive repair - about $500 for the sensor, and $500 for labor. There are many others with 2013 Volts who are experience this problem this should be fixed under warranty, as this is a safety issue that has been happening on my car for years.

The passenger presence sensor failed in my Volt several years ago. Since it's no longer under warranty, the dealer quoted me $1000 to fix this issue. This is a critical safety issue and chevy should recall these because it's a very common problem. The airbag is often not activated when I have a passenger due to the fact that the sensor has failed and can't sense a person in the seat. Critical safety issue! not to mention, the airbag warning light is intermittent and extremely obnoxious beeping multiple times every time I drive now. This seat has never been wet and the car has never been in an accident. Also, I rarely have passengers.

When a cell phone is placed on the center of the passenger seat, the passenger seat belt warning light illuminates and arms the passenger air bag. No weight required.
