Service air bag light has been going on and off for a couple weeks. as of 4 days ago it has been on and stayed on. i've been told that it has something to do with the sensor in the seat and from research it looks like this is a very common problem in this vehicle
Started the car on a rainy day and the airbag light came on and a message displayed "service air bag". i turned the car off and started the car again and the message and airbag light stayed on. i have searched several forms where several consumers are having this same issue.
My "service air bag" light and warning came on and we took it to a mechanic who stated it is the wiring under my drivers seat causing the warning light. the light first came on a few days ago when i turned my car on and we have since discovered the light will go on and off if i move my drivers seat forward and back, but this is a temporary fix as the warning light stays on in the seat position i need to keep it in for driving. this is the same issue as the recalled 2008-2013 gmc acadia. mine is a 2014 and not a part of the official recall, but clearly this is the same issue and needs to be recalled and repaired at the expense of gm.
Service aig bag light has illuminated. from the research i have done, when this occurs, it disables the airbags from functioning when the vehicle is in an impact collision. it appears that there was a recall on gmc acadias for this issue through the 2013 model. this is an on-going issue with the acadia that results in a potentially life threatening safety feature not working.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc acadia. the contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 14v614000 (electrical system) by serra buick gmc cadillac (12300 30 mile rd, washington, mi 48095, (586) 331-2540). after the contact retrieved the vehicle, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. serra buick gmc cadillac (12300 30 mile rd, washington, mi 48095, (586) 331-2540) diagnosed that the air bag sensor needed to be updated. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 97,725.
Service air bag light came on. dealer made wiring repair to a sir module and replaced a sir system sensor for approximately $530. immediately after picking the vehicle up from the dealer the "service air bag" came on again. the dealer was able to find a "bulletin" from gmc advising technicians to correct problem by soldering some electrical connections. this appears to have solved the problem. this seems to be a substantial design flaw and serious safety issue for a mission critical system where reliability is paramount. this part does not rotate, it is not subject to any unknown wear and tear, there are no preventative maintenance actions provided by the manufacturer. it also appears that gmc has not adequately advised their dealers and technicians that this deficiency exists and what the proper corrective actions is without exorbitant costs to the consumer.
The airbag service warning came on while driving on highway. please assist asap, we drive our children in this vehicle.
I have approximately 67000 mile on my car and today the service air bag light came on off and on i will put fuel and and the gauge still reads empty or half tank takes restarting car many times before reads accurately also passenger seat belt alarm will go off when no one is in the passenger seat
I'm getting service air bags on my 2014 gmc acadia. there was a recall on airbags previously for this vehicle from 2009-2013 but not this model. i've read enough complaints on the airbags failing and this is a safety concern that needs to be addressed. this car has not been in any accidents or flood damage. there should be no reason why i should be getting service air bag message
Service air bag warning indicator on the dash. i've had my car right at a year when the warning came up on the dash. upon researching i've noticed several people are having the same issues as close as two days ago.. my car has a little over 77,000 miles on it.
I purchased this vehicle used in april 2017, but a few months after i purchased the vehicle i started having a light on in the dash saying "service air bag". i've tried ignoring it & hoping that there would eventually be a recall because the vehicle no longer had a warranty, but we are about to take it in to get it serviced. after searching the internet i am finding that many other people with acadias have had this same issue & have had to take their vehicle & pay to get it serviced. i've also read where there were some accidents where the airbags did not deploy. i have researched only to find out that many gmc models were recalled for the same issue, but it was for year models previous to mine (including but not limited to the year before mine). i have a friend who has the chevrolet traverse (which is the exact same vehicle as mine, just with the chevrolet name) & she had the exact same problem that i'm having. is this not a safety issue? please research this. it is not coincidence that so many people have had this problem! this light comes on at all times as soon as you turn on the car. i have read where some have had faulty wiring under the seat that had to be re-soldered.
The service air bag soon light is on and the car only has 74,000 miles and has never been in a wreck. this is the same issue that there was a recall for earlier model year acadias up to 2013 and it is widely reported that the 2014s have the same issue; that the connector has to be resoldered for the airbags to deploy. this is a known safety issue to gmc and they are charging approximately $400 to fix a known safety issue. now i'm going to have to pay $400 to get this fixed because it is not an included recall on the 2014s and i don't want my wife driving a car without airbags.
There is a water leak every time it rains. once i could not shut off my car had to take it to the dealership. said the drain line for sunroof had debri and water was sitting on fuse box. water leaks in floor board. yesterday, there is no sound in vehicle at all (no radio no blinking noise when blinker is turned on.)
There are hundreds if not thousands of 2014 acadia owners having a service air bag light come on and wont go off. there was a recall for all acadia's of 2013 and earlier that had a recall to fix this dangerous issue. 2014 needs to be included in this recall. this is a safety hazard and possible death upon impact issue if airbag doesnt go off due to gmc's negligence in dealing with the same issue previous models had. gmc could face lawsuits if someone is killed due to this issue on this year acadia. its approx $500 to fix and is a consistent problem across many owned acadias. my car has never been in an accident or had the airbag deployed. this needs to be dealt with immediately.
The passenger side seatbelt warning chimed to indicate a passenger was not wearing a seatbelt and the passenger airbag on/off light toggled back and forth when no passenger was in the car in the seat. this resolved spontaneously by the next day, now the service airbag soon notice and warning light is lit up on the dashboard. the car has not been in any accident that would cause the airbag to deploy or activate. i see that a previous recall was announced in 2014 for the 2009-2013 models of gmc acadia, but my specific acadia is a 2014 model. there are no active recalls listed for my vehicle, however an airbag malfunction is a serious concern for gmc acadia owners. this issue just started and i have not visited a dealer yet.
While driving my acadia south on interstate 5 in washington, the dashboard "service air bag" light came on, and would not shut off. i took the car to my gmc dealer. the service department told me that there were no recalls, the factory warranty had expired, and my extended warranty did not cover airbags. i am quite disappointed that this electrical problem is not covered and will cost me over $400.00 to have repaired. the dealer said the cause was a problem with the connections under the passenger seat, that the gmc technician had to cut and resolder the connections and reattach them, in order to solve the problem.
Starting vehicle air bag light came on and stays on.
The service airbag notification came on as well as the airbag light. i have not been in an accident of any kind.

Takata recall - i have a service air bag warning light which stays lit
Takata recall message air bag comes on. i took my car to the dealership and they said it was caused by the driver side airbag connector had high resistance (code b001e-0d). dealership removed airbag connectors, traced wired, and spliced wires together. this is the same issue i read about for the 2013 acadia models. my acadia is a 2014 model and we had to pay for this repair out of pocket. i feel that we should be re-reimbursed for this repair, it was very costly for the dealership to just cut and splice wires.
Car says to service air bag and when i take off at times or put it in drive the car pulls on me like the transmisin is slipping
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc acadia. while the cruise control was set at 53 mph, another vehicle ran a stop sign and crashed into the driver's door of the contact's vehicle. the air bags failed to deploy. the contact sustained a fractured rib, a bruised heart, left thigh, and hips, a broken left arm, and cuts and lacerations from the glass injuries. medical attention was required. a police report was filed. the vehicle was towed to an impound lot. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
We have had the vehicle back to the dealer 3 times for items related to the air bag system recalls since 2015. at one point we were asked to turn the car off and see if the light goes out once the car is re-started. well, the air bag light is back on and once again it won't go out. i am waiting for it to randomly deploy while my wife or myself are driving it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc acadia. while driving 25 mph, the driver's side and passenger side curtain air bags deployed without warning or impact. a police report was filed and no injuries were sustained. the vehicle was towed to a dealer where a gmc manufacturer representative inspected the vehicle. the failure mileage was 30,000. ..updated 02/03/17 *bf *tr

The "service air bag" light continues to go on and off. we have been to the dealer several times and they can't figure out what's wrong with it. they replaced one air bag 1st, fixed the contact 2nd and installed some kit the 3rd time. the light continues to go on for days and then go off. this started not long after i got the car. i will take it in again but there is something wrong they don't know about.
Vehicle was stationary and in motion display read airbag malfunction warning light. took vehicle to randy marion gmc in huntersville, nc to be fixed. electrical connecter problem "due to corrosion " was "fixed" only to have error light come on again 24hrs later. this is a new vehicle with only 24,000 miles on it and is garage kept. randy marion gave is a loaner vehicle and was going to order new connectors for the airbag. we dropped truck off on saturday, december 12th and finally had it returned to us the following friday afternoon, december 18th "fixed again." this morning, driving family to the store, my father-in-law said that his seat was not stable. we discovered seat was not bolted down and returned truck back to randy marion buick-gmc. service manager apologized and said it was an oversight and not bolting the seat back down. waiting to get our truck back in working a safe condition. terrible!!!
For the 3rd time in <1 yr, the airbag light came on. the 1st time they had to replace the passenger side air bag,lay 15k miles, the 2nd time, they repaired the electrical connection at 19k miles, this last time they had to replace the tensioner kit at 22k miles. these air bag issues should not be happening this often when i've only had the car for 15 months and bought it new.
Drivers seat air bag was replaced 2 months ago after service air bag light came on. service air bag light came back on today.
The air bag light will constantly come on and go off. sometimes it will stay on for a day, week, month. i received a letter from gmc about the problem but they will only fix the problem if the vehicle is under 72,000 miles. i bought mine used at 82,000. i don't understand how this is not a safety recall. was told by tech, when i called to see how much to fix, that if the light is on and i have a wreck the bags won't deploy. letter states that the problem is the "pretension wire harness connectors experiencing intermittent high resistance". this problem has been happening ever since i bought the vehicle used in july 2015
Service air bag light went on and off for a few weeks, then it went off for a while, and came on again and stayed on. drivers seat air bag was diagnosed as being the problem and was replaced.
Vehicle slid on ice off the road at a relatively slow speed (15-20 mph). the vehicle went into a snow embankment. because there was minimal if any impact; the vehicle did not have even a scratch on the exterior. however all the airbags in the vehicle deployed. this includes the drivers side, the passenger side, and all curtain airbags on both sides all around the vehicle. the front passenger airbag hit the passenger in the forehead causing a small contusion. we had 2 glass bowls on the back seat behind the driver that didn't even move, further substantiating the lack of impact. gm has had a history of issues with airbag deployment in their vehicles and we feel this is an incident of a faulty deployment. had there been a child in the backseat the situation could have been very different and had a very bad outcome related to the airbag deployment in this situation. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc acadia. the contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer. the technician diagnosed that the switch needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 10,400. the vin was not available.
I was hit by a ford f-150 that was going approx. 55 mph. it hit me on my rear driver's side directly by the back door and gas tank. i was the only passenger in the vehicle. none of the airbags deployed even though my acadia was spun and the driver's side door was impacted by the passenger's side door causing it to be unusable and unable to open. my head hit and shoulder the driver's side window and hip and left leg hit the driver's side door leaving pulled muscles and bruises and a slight concussion. esis/gm told me that gm would is not responsible for the airbags not deploying due to "being hit incorrectly by the other vehicle". *tr
