'service airbag' appears on display when front passenger steps out of vehicle. when passenger steps back in vehicle and fastens seatbelt airbag off displayed on overhead display indicating airbag would not work in the event of a crash for passenger. message usually disappears after cycling power on vehicle. also with lightweight items on seat (10 lbs or so) message also appears and does not automatically remove without cycling power.
Warning of faulty air bag on passenger side. warning light will come on at times even if passenger seat is empty. this warning comes on at times when the vehicle is in motion and at other times when stationary.
Airbag light is on. faulty seat sensor.
My passenger airbag light came on and it's been on for a while now. i went to a chevy volt forum on google and apparently it's a problem that my chevy volt owners are having so i think that this should be a safety issue since it involves the airbag.
The front passenger air bag frequently signals that service is required. occupied, unoccupied, bag of groceries, or occupied when occupant shifts around a little. similar reports indicate that service requires expensive calibration with little confidence in a lasting corrective outcome. can be stationary at beginning of trip, during trip while moving - no obvious correlation. happens more and more frequently, beginning at least a year ago.
My 2013 chevy volt has recently experienced some airbag warning light issues. the airbag light comes on for stretches of time and then disappears on its own. i drive 90% of the time without a front passenger and the airbag light has no pattern to when it comes on or goes off. it is completely random. so i stopped into my local dealer who stated there was no recall for this issue, so i went home and did some online research and found the following article: http://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/09/chevrolet-volt-under-investigation-for-airbag-warning-lights/ obviously there is an issue that chevy needs to address, so i am filing a formal complaint regarding this issue and am requesting some help as how to address this with chevrolet.
The passenger airbag sensor triggered a warning (vehicle in motion). took vehicle to dealer and they tried the typical loose connection check, water damage check, etc. removed sensor and tested it - not pulling any current, so must be bad and need replacement. total cost to replace $1,200!! if it's not replaced, airbags are disabled to protect against accidental deployment. i decided to pass and pretend that the car was built in the 1970s (ie, no airbags and just relying on seatbelts).
The service airbag light turns on intermittently. it only happens when something is either set on my passenger seat or if someone sits in that seat. it will happen at anytime, generally when going from park to driving.
Starting in august of 2019, our 2013 chevy volt air bag indicator light went on and off intermittently when the car was running. this usually happened while the car was moving, but sometimes when it was in park. it also happened whenever changing the speed using cruise control. we researched the problem and discovered it was related to the sensor in the passenger seat. when we did, we found that there are many other mentions of this problem online (especially given that there aren't many models of this car on the road), and that the solution is to replace the sensor in the seat. we took the car to a chevy dealer to assess the problem, and were told that even though it is a safety issue, that it was not covered under warranty. we were also told that when the sensor does not work properly, that the airbags likely won't inflate in the case of an accident. therefore, we asked to schedule the repair, but were told the part could not be ordered due to the gm strike. in late december, we heard from the dealer that the part was in ...
Service air bag system message comes up on dash briefly and goes away again quickly. after some research online, i'm finding this is most likely cause by the passenger seat airbag sensor or seat occupancy sensor. it has only happened in our volt when i had a front seat passenger so this makes complete sense. this is a very common issue on 2012, 2013 and 2014 chevy volts at least and should be recalled and repaired by gm. this is a safety issue. the repair is around $800 and that should not be the case with a safety issue on many vehicles u see 100k miles. we have 81k on ours. i saw the issue happened to other volts in my research as low as 27k miles. when this happens, i have just started the vehicle, it is stationary and people are getting into seats and buckling belts. longest the message has come on was about 45sec with most occurrences more like 10-15 sec before message clears. this were all in suburb type settings and not the first use of the day for the vehicle but rather later on ...
The car regularly gets an airbag light relating to the passenger seat presence sensor. the airbag light will randomly come on and then turn off as i drive.
Same problem most everyone else is having. service airbag message comes on frequently and red airbag light stays on. started at around 85-90k miles. and no accidents. this is a safety issue and there needs to be a recall. how many complaints will it take? its a great car otherwise. ford is much more proactive with safety recalls than gm.
(chevy volt 2013) a warning message "service airbags" intermittently shows. the car has not been involved in accidents. it appears to be a very common issues among chevy volt owners (including 2 people in my family who own the same car model) the warning shows while driving and disappears after a few seconds.
Continuously receive a "service airbag system" warning. began happening for no apparent reason. warning stays on all the time (as soon as vehicle is started). dealership investigated and determined that the passenger side seat sensor for the airbag must be replaced, at a high cost (~$800). without this repair, it is possible that the passenger side air bag may not deploy in the event of an accident (sensor does not indicate that someone is seated on passenger side, so only driver's side may deploy).
I started receiving a passenger airbag warning light on my dash. it seemed to happen mostly if i set something on the passenger seat and then removed it. i took it to the dealer and they said a sensor in the seat needed to be replaced and it was $1100
