Service Airbag warning light comes on and off. Reading message boards for 2014 Chevy Volt, is seems that this is a defective Passenger Occupancy Sensor that happens on a lot of Volts. A dealer has confirmed that this is the problem and will cost $1,000-$1,200 to fix. Since this is a safety component and is failing regularly on all Volts, I believe the manufacturer should recall this item to be replaces.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 chevrolet volt. The contact stated the air bag warning light illuminated intermitantly for several months.

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.
The airbag warning light comes on fairly constantly. The dealership says the passenger seat sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced. It is an expensive repair at over $1,000.
The airbag indicator for the passenger seat will ding intermittently no matter what is placed in the passenger seat. This leaves in question whether or not the air bag is engaged or disengaged properly.
We have a 2014 chevy volt with approximately 88,000 miles. It is out of manufacturers warranty and recently our service airbag light came on. We took to dealer and they are asking us for roughly $850.00 to replace a passenger seat sensor. They tell us that our airbags will not work in an accident if we do not replace this sensor. I did a search on-line and this seems to be a common problem with the chevy volt. We purchased this car new and it's still in very good shape besides having this issue. Just wondering if any pressure can be placed on gm to step up here and fix what seems to be a flaw in their manufacturing process or product? After reading how many others have had the same issue and knowing that the airbags will not deploy if involved in a serious accident, it seems there's most certainly a safety issue here. Can anything be done about this?
Service airbag light warning. Repair shop says the passenger side seat 'passenger presence module' needs to be replaced. What is the safety risk of not paying the $500?
