2008 GMC ACADIA Air Bags Problems

Lift gate closes by itself I have to put a pole to hold it up and it won’t hit me, it says the air bags needs to be serviced, stabilitrak keeps going off, ball bearing needs work. Radio won’t turn on no sound on air signals, the body chasis something popped while driving, the tracking control keeps turning off, the seats move while driving, catalytic converter are moving car only go 12 mpg.

Deer hit me on the highway at 2am on December 26th. No air bags deployed.

The air bags light came on with no reason truck never being in a crash, the abs and the off road light is on too, the break lights are on while you don't step on the pedal and they go off when you step on it...

Passenger Airbag warning light has been showing on my dash since I purchased the vehicle in October of 2021. I brought the vehicle to an auto repair shop to have it checked, and was told that the airbags would malfunction if I were to get into an accident that called for them to deploy.

It was in a front end Collision the airbags didn’t deploy my insurance said they totaled the car out due to needing a lot of money to fix it and I contacted gm about it they said there was no recalls and no repairs were don’t to it

The service stability track warning will come on while driving. It will then make the SUV shut off. This is really terrifying since it happens while driving. After the SUV shuts off, you have to wait a couple minutes before you're able to restart. The last two months, the service airbag warning will come up on the screen out of no where. It will come on while driving and setting stationary. Water will pour out from the glove box while driving.

THERE IS WATER THAT COMES DOWN INTO THE WIRING HARNESS OF ALL OF THE DOORS. I AM ABLE TO TAKE THE WIRING HARNESSES OFF AND TONS OF WATER DUMPS OUT. THIS HAS CORRODED MANY OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THE CORROSION HAS LED TO LOCKS WINDOWS MIRRORS AND SPEAKERS NOT WORKING. PLEASE RECALL THIS.....

THERE IS A AIRBAG NOTIFICATION THAT COMES ON ALSO IM HAVING ENGINE ISSUES WHERE MY FUEL RUNS OUT EXTREMELY FAST WITHOUT NOTICE. I CAN DRIVE LESS THAN 30 MILES AND MY VEHICLE WILL BE ALMOST OF EMPTY FROM A FULL TANK. IT JUST HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE. MY FRIEND ALSO HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND SHE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH HER CAR. I REALLY NEED THIS FIXED ASAP.*DT*JB

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT COMING ON WHENEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT IS PULLED TO HARD OR EVEN IF I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE PASSENGER MAKES THE SLIGHTEST OF MOVEMENT IN THE SEAT. IT OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE AS TIME GOES ON. IT HAPPENED TODAY JUST GOING TO THE TOP OF MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS LESS THAN A MILE LONG AND BACK TO THE HOUSE. ALSO, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TAILGATE RANDOMLY FALLING WHEN HALFWAY OPEN OR FULLY OPEN. THE TAILGATE HAS ALMOST CAUSED INJURY TO MY HUSBAND, BOTH OF MY BOYS AND MYSELF. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS STATIONARY WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS AND DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE TAILGATE IS OPENED.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN MARCH OF 2020. I HAVE JUST REPLACED MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS OCTOBER OF 2020 AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHTS DOESN'T WORK. ON THE DASHBOARD THE LIGHT THAT'S SUPPOSE TO SHOW WHEN YOUR BRIGHT'S ARE ON, DOESN'T COME ON ANYMORE AND I WAS IN MOTION WHEN I REALIZED THEY HAD STOPPED WORKING.

'SERVICE AIR BAG' HAD BEEN ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN FOR A FEW DAYS AND ISN'T GOING OFF. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND THEY TOLD ME IT MEANS SOMETHING IS UNPLUGGED. I TOOK IT BACK ONLY TO HAVE IT COME BACK IN MONTHS LATER. IT SOMETIMES HAPPEN AS I'M DRIVING BUT LATELY IT'S THERE WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION. I ALSO HAVE SHIFTING PROBLEMS OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND SOMETIMES SECOND. I WAS TOLD IT'S THE WAVE PLATES AND IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE. HOW ARE THESE VEHICLES STILL BEING SOLD WITH THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER! THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AS I'M DRIVING.

DASH LIGHT STATING "SERVICE AIR BAG" COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. WHILE TRAVELING AND SOMETIMES AT STOP

THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CAME ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE LAST MONTH AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WONT TURN ON. *TR

THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON IN THE DASH WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS MOVED IN OR SAT IN A CERTAIN AREA. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING OR SITTING STILL. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND DOES NOT GO OFF. TRACTION STABILIZER LIGHT ON TO AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON. *TR

STABILITY TRACK WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT IT COULD BE THE SENSOR SO I HAD IT REPLACED WITH A FACTORY BRAND GMC SENSOR AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG KEEPS SAYING IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED BUT IT'S NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED AND NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER FOR WHY THIS WARNING KEEPS COMING UP THE STABILITY TRACK WARNING COMES ON AS I'M DRIVING EVERY TIME AFTER ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING COMES ON AS SOON AS I START THE VEHICLE ENGINE. AND ALSO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CODE P0700 IT KEEPS TURNING ON MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND I HAD IT FIXED BUT IT STILL KEEPS TURNING ON . RATTLING NOISE IN IDLE

VEHICLE WAS SOUTHBOUND ON COUNTY ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT THE INTERSECTION, WHEN THE CAR STRUCK THE SOUTH EMBANKMENT OF THE T INTERSECTION, AS DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO NAVIGATE THE TURN. NONE OF THE SIDE OR FRONT AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH. I AM ALSO UNSURE IF THE SEAT BELT HAD OPERATED CORRECTLY (SEAT BELT WAS BEING WORN AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH). THE DRIVER'S HEAD HIT THE SIDE WINDOW AND AS A RESULT HE SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY AND AN EYE INJURY RESULTING IN OPTIC NERVE DAMAGE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF VISION IN THE EYE. I UNDERSTAND THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS ON THESE VEHICLES WITH A POSSIBLE RECALL ISSUED. I DO HAVE ALL THE CORRESPONDING ACCIDENT REPORTS, MEDICAL REPORTS, ETC.

SERVICE AIR BAGS LIGHT CAME ON. OCCASIONALLY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF AND BACK ON WHILE DRIVING WHEN TRACTION CONTROL RETURNS WARNING LIGHT DISAPPEARS. SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND HAS NOT CAME OFF. ALL OF THE ABOVE HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY GOING NO FASTER THAN 55MPH DRY CONDITIONS. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE OWNED BY CURRENT OWNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHEN THE CONTACT OPENED ANY OF THE VEHICLE DOORS, THE INTERIOR LIGHTING FLICKERED ON AND OFF. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STABILITRAK AND SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT AN OBD CODE READER DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V118000 (AIR BAGS) AND 10V240000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) WITH THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE SEAT BELT AND SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SCHUMACHER BUICK GMC OF NORTH PALM BEACH (561-282-1957, LOCATED AT 3720 NORTHLAKE BLVD STE C, LAKE PARK, FL 33403) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

MY LIFT GATE DOOR FELL AND HIT ME IN THE HEAD OUT OF NO WHERE AND MY CAR IS NOT ON THE LIST FOR THE RECALL FOR THAT EXACT PROBLEM. MY AIRBAG INDICATOR GOES OFF ALL THE TIME EVEN IF NO ONE IS IN THE FRONT SEAT. MY SPEEDOMETER BARELY WORKS, IT GOES COMPLETELY AROUND AND I CAN'T GET IT TO RESET. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP JUST TO BE TOLD IT'S A SENSOR THAT CAUSES IT ALONG WITH THE SLOW CRANKING BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHICH ONE IT WAS BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 4.

WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN LESS THAN AN HOUR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT , TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR POPPED ON. THE CAR WOULD HAVE A SLOW TAKE OFF AND SHAKE AS YOU ACCELERATE ON THE CITY STREET. WHEN I DRIVE THE FREEWAY THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND TAKE 15 SECONDS BEFORE IT SWITCH GEARS TO CATCH UP TO SPEED AND JERK. THE SERVICE AIRBAG,SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM, SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL ALERT MESSAGES ARE ON THE MESSAGE CONSOLE.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. ON 8-15-19, I ACTIVATED THE ON STAR AND WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG AND THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN CLOSED. CAN THEY ACTUALLY REFUSE TO "FIX" THIS?

CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. THE SENSOR HAS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG CONTINUOUSLY DEACTIVATED, EVEN WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON NOW AND IN THE DASH IS SAYING CHECK YOUR AIRBAG SERVICE NO ISSUES BEFORE

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT ALWAYS ON. REPORTED ISSUE TO GMC THEY STATED THAT YES THE 2008 GMC ACADIA HAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBER AND THAT ALTHOUGH MY ACADIA HAS ALL THE SAME EQUIPMENT AND AIRBAGS AS THE RECALLED ACADIA'S BUT BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST AND THAT FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE ISSUE WHICH IS SPECIFIED BY THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN SPECIFIED FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL WOULD BE AT MY COST. IF THE RECALL DOESN'T AFFECT MY VIN NUMBER WHY IS THE REPAIR EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE RECALL? THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES

AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ALWAYS ON WITH SERVICE AIR BAG

THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND/OR A 'SERVICE AIR BAG' MESSAGE WILL APPEAR IN VEHICLE'S DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER, THE AIRBAG TOGGLES OFF AND ON WHEN I HAVE A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. I FOUND THE FOLLOWING ON YOUR WEBSITE: 15536 - SPECIAL COVERAGE. CERTAIN 2008 – 2013 BUICK ENCLAVE, 2008-2013 GMC ACADIA, 2008-2010 SATURN OUTLOOK, AND 2009-2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED TO ADDRESS CORROSION AND/OR LOOSE CRIMPS IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER-SEAT MOUNTED SIDE-IMPACT AIRBAG (SIAB) WIRING-HARNESS CONNECTORS, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN INCREASE IN RESISTANCE THAT MAY DISABLE THE SIAB, FRONT-CENTER AIRBAG, IF EQUIPPED, AND SEAT-BELT PRETENSIONERS. GM HAS RECEIVED REPORTS THAT, IN SOME CASES, THE REQUIRED REPAIR MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY PERFORMED BY THE DEALER SERVICE TECHNICIAN. THE GM RECALL NUMBER WAS N14030 (GFPE NUMBER N-140030) NHTSA RECALL 14V118. DEALERS ARE TO REMOVE THE SECTION OF THE WIRE WITH THE FAULTY REPAIR AND RE-CONNECT WIRES

SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG LIGHT DOESN'T SAY IT'S ON WHEN I HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE, IT WILL STILL SAY THEY ARE OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING ANYWHERE.

MY 2008 GMC ACADIA HAS HAD A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR. A NOTIFICATION IN THE DASHBOARD SAYS "SERVICE AIR BAG". I TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT IN RICHMOND VA SOON AFTER PURCHASING. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT CONTINUED TO BE A PROBLEM. THE GMC DEALERSHIP IN MANASSAS VA SAID THEY FIXED IT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THEM LATER. I TOOK IT BACK A MONTH LATER BECAUSE THEIR "FIX" DID NOT WORK AND THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" INDICATOR STILL COMES ON. BEFORE IT WOULD COME ON PERIODICALLY, BUT NOW IT IS ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME. MY CAR DOES NOT PASS INSPECTION NOW AND THE GMC DEALERSHIP WANTS $1000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALER.

THE AIR BAG SENSOR/MODULE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY WITH THE PASSENGER IN THE SEAT FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS, BUT IS NON-FUNCTIONAL NOW (DOES NOT DETECT THE PRESENCE OF AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) RESULTING IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING DISABLED AT ALL TIMES. I HAVE GOTTEN ESTIMATES FROM 3 DIFFERENT PLACES RANGING FROM $800-$1200.00 TO CORRECT. THIS ISSUE HAS NOW MADE OUR VEHICLE COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO DRIVE AND RIDE IN!!!!

MY 2008 GMC ACADIA BEGAN DISPLAYING SERVICE AIR BAG AND TURNING OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INTERMITTENTLY WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DUE TO THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER A FEW MONTHS IT NOW STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. GMC SAID IT'S NOT UNDER A RECALL BUT I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT WITH THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL STATING IT'S A RECALL THIS HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AND WHILE STOPED

TAKATA RECALL- I PURCHASED A 2008 GMC AWD ACADIA ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A WHINY SOUND THAT I INFORMED THE DEALER ABOUT UPON RETURN. THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME IT JUST NEED POWER STEERING FLUID. SO HE FILLED THE FLUIDS AND I HEARD NOTHING FOR A MONTH OR SO. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK FOR MISC. REPAIRS TWO OTHER TIMES AFTER THAT REGARDING SOUNDS THAT I WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AFTER THAT THINGS SEEMED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS OR SO. EARLY SEPTEMBER, THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DASH WAS READING 60MPH BUT I WAS REALLY GOING 30MPH. THEN WHILE EXITING TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING BEGAN ACTING UP AND WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. I ALMOST RAN INTO THE WALL NOT PREPARED TO USE SUCH FORCE. AUGUST 29TH I WENT TO...

THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY WITH THE PASSENGER IN THE SEAT FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS, BUT IS NON-FUNCTIONAL NOW (DOES NOT DETECT THE PRESENCE OF AN OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT) RESULTING IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG BEING DISABLED AT ALL TIMES

SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE I GET AN ON AND OFF MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE AIR BAG. ALSO WHILE I AM DRIVING THE TRUCK OVER HEATS AND WHEN I COME TONA STOP AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND COMPLETELY REMIVE THE KEY. THE ENGINE STAYS ON AND WATER PUMP STARTS TO BUBLE AS IF THE WATER WAS BOILING AND AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES THERE IS NO WATER IN THE PUMP AND WHEN YOU ADD WATER THE WATER GET EXTREMELY HOT. I HAVE SEEN IN OTHER FORUMS WHERE ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE FOUR SMALL CHILDREN AND DON'T FEEL SAFE HOWEVER THE TRUCK IS FINANCED AND I HAVE NO OPTION.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON, NOW THE TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE LIGHT IS POPPING ON AND ALSO SERVICE THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGT IS COMING ON. ME MY FAMILY HAD TAKEN A VACATION TO FLORIDA AND THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO STARTLE ALL THE WAY BACK TO TENNESSEE LEAVING US IN A DEVASTATED SITUATION . I WAS HOPING THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION AND AND AIR BAGS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS MANY OTHERS HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES IN THE PAST CONCERNING THEIR 2008 ACADIA VEHICLES THIS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY EXPRESSWAY WITH A HIGH VOLUME OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND O' REILLY AUTO PARTS TO HAVE CHECK ENGINE TEST AND THE FOLLOWING CODES APPEARED DTC P2762 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH,P0700 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL,P0171 FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM. AND COMPUTER...

CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. TOOK TO DEALER TO HAVE CHECKED FOR $100. STAYED OFF FOR A WHILE BUT NOW COMES ON SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF. MAKES ME WONDER IF MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY IF THERE IS AN IMPACT. SOMETIMES IT IS OFF WHEN CAR IS FIRST MOVING THEN COMES ON. ITS RANDOM. STARTED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. BUT IT IS ON AND OFF. MY HUSBAND HAS CHECKED IT AS WELL AS THE DEALER. THERE IS NO RECALL ACCORDING TO WEBSITE, BUT THERE SHOULD BE

MY CAR HAS BEEN RIDING CRAZY. IT KERKS WHEM DRIVING AND THIS IS ONLY DONE WITH SERVICE STABILTRAK AND TRACTION CONTROLL SENSORS COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. TOOK TO A MECHANIC WHO REPLACE PART CONNECTED TO BRAKE THAT SUPPOSE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. WND ISSIE IS THE AIRBAG SYSYEM KEEPS FLASHING OFF AND ON. I CHECKED NHSHF WEBSITE FOR REACALLS AND IT SAYS A RECALL. BUT WHEN I CONTACTED CHEVE THEY SAID NO RECALL. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THESE ON THIS CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE

DRIVING AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF WITH NO WARNING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO RUN INTO A STREET POLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (PREFERRED CHEVROLET BUICK GMC, 1701 S BEACON BLVD, GRAND HAVEN, MI 49417) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT INDICATOR MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED A 2008 ACADIA IN NOVEMBER 2016. THE SELLER STATED THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER A AIRBAG AND REPLACE THE OLD ONE. ALONE WITH THE SEAT BELT. I DIDN'T GET THE CAR UNTIL A MONTH LATER. WHEN I GOT THE ACADIA IT WAS MAKING SOME WHINING NOISE, WOULDN'T CRANK BACK UP, RATTLE AND CLATTER, DRAGGING IN THE TRANSMISSION LIKE DRIVING IN A CERTAIN GEARS, NOISY IN NEUTRAL. AIRBAG, SEATBELT AND STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CONTINUE TO COME ON. NEEDED A ALTERNATOR AND NOW THE ENGINE GONE. I BEEN HAVING PROBLEM'S WITH THE CAR SINCE I GOT IT, AND IT BEEN ONLY 13TH MONTHS. WE WERE DRIVING TWICE AND THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN ON US ON THE IN-STATE. WE HAD TO GET IT PULL BACK HOME. SEVERAL TIMES DRIVING ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND STREET IT WOULDN'T GO IN GREAT. I DON'T PHOTOS AT THIS TIME. I WOULD HAVE TO...

TAKATA RECALL MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ON JUST AS ALL OF THE OTHER GBMC 2008 MODELS THAT WERE RECALLED BUT ACCORDING TO MY VIN MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

MY WIFE FELL ASLEEP RAN OFF THE ROAD STRUCK A UTILITY POLE AND A LARGE DIRT EMBANKMENT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY NOR DID THE BELT TENSIONERS,SHE HIT THE STEERING COLUMN SO HARD SHE IT BROKE THE COLUMN AND BROKE HER STERNUM. OUR GRANDDAUGHTER WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG NOR THE TENNSIONERS DEPLOYED RESULTING HER BACK BEING BROKEN IN TWO PLACES AND ALSO HER FOOT WAS BROKEN. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SENT A MAN TO DOWNLOAD THE COMPUTER INFORMATION THEY SENT ME A COPY OF THE INFO AND LATER CONTACTED ME SAYING THE INFO SHOWED EVERYTHING WAS WORKING PROPERLY. PRYOR TO THE ACCIDENT I HAD THE AUTO IN FOR THE RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAD IT IN FOR ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY HAD TO REMOVE A LARGE PART OF THE FRONT TO DO THE REPAIR AND DONE A...

CURRENT SYMPTOM: SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE COMES ON PERIODICALLY WHEN DRIVING. THE LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN I TIGHTEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WIRE HARNESSES. THE NEW FIX PER RECALL BULLETIN NO. 14030B: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS AND SPLICE AND SOLDER THE WIRES TOGETHER. THE OLD FIX BEFORE THE FORMAL RECALL: DEALERS REMOVED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS CONNECTORS AND SPLICED AND SOLDERED THE WIRES TOGETHER. PRIOR TO THE 2014 RECALL, GM THOUGHT THAT ONLY THE PASSENGER WIRE HARNESS WAS FAULTY. IN 2011 I PARTICIPATED IN GM'S VOLUNTARY FIX (JUST THE PASS SIDE) BEFORE THE FORMAL RECALL ' NOW GM STATES THAT MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE CORRECT RECALL FIX OF BOTH WIRE HARNESSES. THEY STRONGLY RECOMMEND I PAY $350 TO HAVE THE WIRE HARNESS REPAIRED THE WAY THE RECALL OUTLINES.

THE SUNROOF DRAINAGE TUBES GET CLOGGED AND LEAKED WATER WHICH CAUSED THE FUSE BOX IN THE DASH TO BE FILLED WITH WATER. ALSO FLOODING ALL THE FLOORS AND THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT INSIDE THE CAR. WHICH IN RETURN CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT SHUT OFF WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY OFF AND TAKE IT OUT. IT ALSO CAUSES ALL KINDS OF SENSORS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TO COME ON ON THE DASH LIKE SERVICE AIRBAG SERVICE STABLE TRACK CAUSES THE TRACTION CONTROL TO TURN OFF FALSELY TELLS YOU THAT ENGINE OIL NEEDS CHANGED ALSO CAUSES THE BATTERY TO GO DEAD FOR NO REASON ALSO DISPLAYS AC OFF ENGINE HOT

PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR IS ALWAYS ON "OFF" NO MATTER WHO SITS FRONT PASSENGER SEAT - LARGE HEAVY MAN OR LIGHTWEIGHT ADULT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ACADIA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CABLE DAHMER CHEVROLET IN INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT SENSOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE HAS GONE OFF AND ON FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. NOW MESSAGE IS ON CONTINUOUSLY.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY (STARTED IN JAN 2017). LIGHT ONLY CAME ON FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS THEN THE AIR BAG INDICATOR WOULD LIGHT UP. TOOK TO DEALER 2/2/17). DEALER INDICATES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR. IT GOES ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY. DEALER STATED THAT PUTTING ELECTRONICS ON SEAT CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MANUAL ABOUT NOT PUTTING CELL PHONES/PADS/ETC ON THE FRONT SEATS. UPON RESEARCHING ISSUE ON INTERNET, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2008 ACADIAS. PER DEALER, THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTIES, RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS. SEEMS TO ME THAT A FAULTY AIR BAG SENSOR SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE UNDER A RECALL. ISSUE HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE.

WHEN DRIVING MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON AS I MOVE AROUND IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. NOW IT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME.
