My 2017 chevy volt gives me 'service airbag' warning all the time. And the dealer says it is not covered under warranty, but the car has never met with any accidents or spills. So there is no reason for customer damage.

My volt was t-boned on the passenger side of the car by a red light runner. I had just started to enter into the intersection a second or so after my light turned green, so not going very fast. The other car was going 25-35 MPH (approx.).

The service airbag indicator and airbag light illuminated on my dash. I took the vehicle to the dealership and was told the passenger presence module needs replaced. Without this repair, all airbags in the vehicle are disabled when the light is on.

The vehicle’s service airbag warning light is illuminated. The dealership diagnostic indicates that the passenger seat sensor needs to be replaced. Based on my research, this was also an issue with the Volt’s 1st Gen models.
