2011 GMC Acadia Air Bags & Restraints Problems

My air bag light keeps coming on saying to service it. I saw the recalled issues before with the other Acadias and was thinking maybe my year model would need to be looked into as well. I haven't ever had a wreck for them to come out but the light comes on frequently.

Not sure but the ex owner of the vehicle told me the it had a recall on the drivers seatbelt (wasn’t due to a car accident)

seatbelt locks and does not release

I had a collision with a deer and my airbags did not deploy

B0014 BAD CONNECTOR / CONNECTION UNDER DRIVER'S SEAT (VERIFIED) RECALL FOR PREVIOUS YEARS MODEL, BUT NOT YET FOR 2011 ACADIA

76,000 MILES VEHICLE: AIRBAG SYSTEM SERVICED 1ST FOR RECALL, AND THEN THAT SAME COMPONENT REPLACED A FEW WEEKS AGO - THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS STILL NOT WORKING - "FURTHER DIAGNOSIS" IS SUPPOSED TO TAKE SEVERAL DAYS AND RIP APART THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH NO IDEA ON WHAT TO FIX OR HOW TO FIX IT

I TOOK OUR 2011 GMC ACADIA, MILEAGE 80,637, TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 12/16/2017 BECAUSE THE DISPLAY SHOWED "SERVICE AIR BAG." THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT HE FOUND DTC B0022 AND B0015 STORED IN SDM, TESTED CIRCUITS, GOOD. HE FOUND EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE IN BOTH FRONT SEAT BELT ANCHOR PRETENSIONS AND RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF BOTH FRONT ANCHOR PRETENSIONERS, CPA CONNECTORS WITH LEADS AND REPROGRAM THE SDM. REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $1,164.51. CHARGED $125 TO DIAGNOSE. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE PRETENSIONERS ARE CONNECTED TO AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE AIR BAG. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOUND THE FRONT ENGINE MOUNT WEAK. REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $447.85. THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS AND "SERVICE AIR BAG" APPEAR TO BE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUES. I CONTACTED GMC ON 04/23/2018 TO REQUEST REPAIR ASSISTANCE AND TO INQUIRE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, CASE # 8-4111443314. I WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT IS ON...I WENT AND HAD DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK SAID I NEED A NEW MODULAR WHICH COULD COST OVER 1000.00. HOW COULD THIS GO BAD AND COST SO MUCH. SOUNDS TO ME THAT I HAVE HAD A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG

A CLOGGED AC EVAPORATOR DRAIN TUBE CAUSED WATER TO POOL INSIDE MY CAR AND SHORTED OUT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I READ ONLINE THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I WAS THE 7TH ONE THIS MONTH (ALL ACADIAS) THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX BUT MORE CONCERNING; I HAVE NO AIRBAGS NOW!

I'VE RECEIVED 3 NOTICES ABOUT RECALLS. GM TOLD ME JULY THE PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE, BUT WHEN I CALL MY DEALER THEY INDICATED THEY'LL PUT ME A WAITING LIST FOR WHEN THEY ACTUALLY RECEIVE THE PARTS. WHY ISN'T GM SENDING DEALERS ENOUGH PARTS TO HANDLE THESE RECALLS. MY DEALER IS GREAT IT'S JUST GM THAT IS CREATING PROBLEMS. TELLING US THEY HAVE THE PARTS, THEN THEY DON'T SEND THEM TO THE DEALERS. MY DEALER IS VERY FRUSTRATED OVER THIS AS I AM. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR PUSHING GM A LITTLE TO GET THE PARTS TO THE DEALERS SO THAT I (WE) CAN GET OUR VEHICLES REPAIRED. *TR

MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN I TURN MY VEHICLE ON AT ALL TIME. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN DRIVING IF I TRY TO CLEAN MY WINDOW, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WILL NOT SPRAY OUT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE AND SOMETIMES IT WILL COME OUT BUT IT WON'T SPRAY ON THE WINDSHIELD. IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH PRESSURE TO SPRAY IT ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WHILE I'M DRIVING AND TRY TO CLEAN MY WINDSHIELD TO SEE BETTER. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING WRONG.

THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PARTS FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V118000 (AIR BAGS) WERE UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

THE SECOND ROW MIDDLE SEATBELT LOCKS WHERE I AM UNABLE TO EXPAND AND USE IT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM THREE TIMES AND THEY CLAIM THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED, AND THIS HAS BEEN A ON GOING PROBLEM. THE REASON I BOUGHT THE ACADIA IS BECAUSE I HAVE A LARGE FAMILY AND I USE THE STATES IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN I TRIED TO PARK MY 2011 ACADIA SLE, THE ACCELERATOR BECAME STUCK CAUSING THE FRONT OF MY CAR TO CRASH INTO A HEALTH CLUB WALL. WHEN I SAW PEOPLE RUNNING INSIDE THE HEALTH CLUB I THOUGHT I HAD ROLLED OVER SOMEONE. SO, I TRIED TO BACK UP AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT SHOT BACKWARDS WITH A ROLLING FORCE AND HIT AN IRON POST. TO KEEP THE WHEELS FROM CONTINUOUSLY ROLLING, I HAD TO SLAM THE GEAR INTO PARK AND TURN THE IGNITION OFF. I BELIEVE THIS ACCIDENT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE IS INJURED OR KILLED.
