Hey Everyone,
I have a 2014 Volt with about 40K miles on it. Last month I had my first issue with the car, where a Service Airbag light code B0017 came on. The dealer fixed the issue by apply dieletric grease to one of the wires on the drivers side to help with the "low resistance" issue.
Well the light is back and it stays on a majority of the time, unless I run over a speed bump or pothole - then it is intermittent. Took it back to the dealer and now they are proposing to replace the airbag, the module, and a bunch of other stuff.
They are looking at me to pay for the repairs because it is out of warranty. This is in the hundreds of dollars (if not thousand) range for an issue that isn't a wear and tear item. It just seems like basic safety items like airbags etc should not be pushed onto the owner to pay for especially with this little miles.
A couple questions to forum members:
1. Has anyone had this recurring issue with the drivers side airbag? How was your car repaired?
2. Has anyone had success in getting GM to cover the repair cost for the safety system?
I've called 877-486-5846 and spoke with a GM rep and opened up a Case. I was under the impression that this number would be for a Volt specific advisor but it didn't seem that way. Have things changed over the past few months in regards to the Volt advisor team, etc?
Thanks in advance.
