Example complaints

“I'm receiving intermittent warnings to service the airbags. This comes as a surprise since this is fairly solid state and not something that gets depleted such as oil, brakes, or tires. I have no idea who the manufacturers are of the airbags but would like to know if they are takata. Chevrolet should not be dodging responsibility with safety equipment.”
NHTSA complaint #11140776, filed 2018-10, 51,917 miles“Airbag sensor light is on. Garage has already replaced left front and right rear impact sensors. Problem still exists. Garage has already spent 2 days trying to figure out problem. No luck. I just discovered, via a google search, that this is a common problem with my VOLT. There should be a recall!”
NHTSA complaint #11372420, filed 2020-10, 88,270 miles“Car tells me that the airbag needs to be serviced every time the car turns on and continues to alert me as I drive, even after I acknowledge the error. Apparently the front passenger detector for turning on the airbag must be replaced. The previous owner says he's driven with this problem for over a year. Over $600 to replace. From reading forums online, I see that this is not an uncommon problem. The part should be recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #11220628, filed 2019-06, 67,000 miles“Air bag sensor and computer system malfunction the driver side sensor at times malfunction and so the software disable the air bag system as a whole. The service air bag message comes on for few minutes and then disappears assuming everything is ok. Took it to the dealer and they informed me that I need to change whole airbag sensor kit and would cost me more than 1300 dollars. This should be a recall as this relates to safety”
NHTSA complaint #11019602, filed 2017-08, 5 miles“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. …”
