The dashboard airbag warning light comes on, car chimes, and front passenger air bag status changes between on/off intermittently when there is someone sitting in the front passenger seat. I'm afraid the airbag system is faulty and won't deploy when needed. This is an ongoing problem.

The air bag service light would come on if the passenger leave the car in parking mode, the light will clear itself after some time. Search online and found it's a very common problem in 2012/2013 chevy volt because of a faulty sensor under the seat, I think GM should do a recall for this since it's a design/manufacture fault.

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.

My car has about 76K miles on it and suddenly gives a warning about "service airbag" on 4/4/2021. I have not been in a wreck, sped over potholes, or have any damage to my car so I am unsure why this light has been activated (I received this warning prior to leaving my driveway that afternoon). It is the passenger airbag that is having this problem.

- Marietta, GA, USA

The airbag sensor warning for the front passenger seat goes off every time I drive regardless if there is a person occupying the seat or not. Have been to the dealer who says it is out of warranty but that the airbags work fine and the only repair is to replace the seat sensor for $1000. Question is will the airbags work properly or not in the event of a crash?? I hear there is an investigation open for this issue PE19013.

My 2013 Chevy Volt passenger airbag light warning came on my cluster indicating that it needed service which I was told that it was the passenger seat sensor but the cost to fix it's outrageous so I haven't fixed it and it's a safety issue and I believe that Chevrolet should have a recall on this matter because it's happening to many Chevy Volt owners.

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.

Within a year of owning the car the passenger airbag sensor is apparently failing. My check airbag light turns on and off when passengers or mild or heavy objects are sitting in the seat or even shifting position in the seat makes the check airbag notification appear on driver information screen. It's an annoying notification at least. And not sure if all the airbags will deploy if the need to. I've addressed this before without word from this government organization.

Service air bag came on display. Seems like this is a common and costly problem with 2013 Volts. Is there any way this fix can be covered?

Repair air bag warning light keeps going on. It is due to the passenger seat sensor. If there is no one on the seat, the light will remain off but the moment any pressure is applied to the seat, the warning light comes off. It appears the seat airbag sensor mat is failing which is concerning because this is a significant safety issue that is costly to repair. The light will turn on regardless if the vehicle is stationary or moving. Per online research, it appears this is a well known and documented issue that other Volt owners are reporting. They have an open investigation still going from 2019, how can this problem be fixed without unnecessary high costs? this is a problem.

Getting a message alert "service airbag" for the passenger airbag. It will turn off and on when a passenger is seated. Extremely dangerous and seems to be a common issue. I think Chevy is at fault and should fix the issue at their expense.

- Compton, CA, USA

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.
