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.

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?

The air bag light is on now and in the dash is saying check your airbag service no issues before

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

Air bag off light always on with service air bag

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.

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!!!!

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 jiffy lube and had the fluids topped off and power steering fluid was full. i put the truck in the shop for a full diagnostic after the battery went completely dead and the vehicle would not start in october. they informed me that the power steering rack needing replacing and ...

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 error. i don't know if this vehicle ever me recall but i feel me my family could have been severely injured as the fast moving vehicle was coming behind us as our vehicle lost power and connection.

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
