NHTSA Complaint #10608881 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

IN 2011, OUR ACADIA ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. FIRST THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WIRING BURNT. WE HAD THAT REPLACED. AFTER THE HEADLIGHT, WE STARTED NOTICING THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS NOTIFYING US THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. NONE OF THE SOUNDS WHERE COMING ON IN THE CAR. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WERE NOT WEARING YOUR SEATBELT THE "DINGING" DID NOT HAPPEN. I TOOK THE ACADIA IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY CELL PHONE THAT TRIGGERED THE DEFECT. I THANK GOD I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT HOWEVER IF GMC KNEW OF THE DEFECTS WHY NOT BE UP FRONT WITH US. MY FAMILY AND I TRAVEL PLENTY. SAFETY IS THE NUMBER ONE CONCERN, WE BOUGHT THE ACADIA FAITHFULLY AND HOPES GMC PROVIDES THE BEST SERVICE POSSIBLE. *JS
