What 300 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 GMC Acadia Limited

MY CAR HAS A WARNING ON IT TO SERVICE AIR BAGS! THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $150 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT! I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY A FEE FOR THIS! IT IS NOT LIKE I HAVE OVERUSED MY AIRBAG!

GM RECALLED AND FIXED THE AIRBAGS IN THIS VEHICLE. NOW 3 MONTHS LATER THE ERROR LIGHT IS COMING BACK ON. LAMBERT BUICK GMC IN CUYAHOGA FALLS OHIO IS TELLING ME THAT A COMMON FAULTY DESIGN ISSUE WITH A SUNROOF DRAIN IS LEAKING ALL OVER THE ELECTRONICS AND SHORTING OUT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM (2/5/2016). ERROR CODE B0088 - "SERVICE AIRBAGS SOON". THEY WANT ME TO FIX IT - GM IS NOT COVERING.

AIR BAG SENSOR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, CARRIED IT TO FOWLER BUICK GMC IN AUGUST, 2015, SYSTEM WAS RESET. 2 WEEKS LATER, LIGHT CAME BACK ON, WENT BACK TO DEALER, HAD AIR BAG SENSORS REPLACED IN DRIVERS SEAT AND PASSENGER SEAT, WHICH COST $1310.00. 2 WEEKS LATER WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING. DEALER SERVICE CANNOT FIND CAUSE BUT INFORMS ME TO THAT AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN WARNING LIGHT IS ON. 2012 ACADIA HAS 81,000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OPTIONS I HAVE SINCE THERE APPEARS TO BE NOR CALL FOR THIS PROBLEM

I PURCHASED MY GMC ACADIA DENALI IN AUGUST OF 2012. WITHIN JUST A FEW MONTHS, THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE. IT NEVER WENT OFF UNTIL I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT SERVICED. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED IT UNDER WARRANTY AND WITHIN A FEW WEEKS IT CAME BACK ON. SERVICE TRIP #2 THEY GOT IT TO STAY OFF FOR A SHORT TIME AGAIN. SERVICE TRIP #3 THEY DECIDE THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE DRIVERS AIR BAG TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SINCE THE REPLACEMENT I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE BACK IN AT LEAST 2 OTHER TIMES.ON MARCH 25, 2014 I GOT MY VEHICLE SERVICED AND THE LIGHT HAD BEEN ON THE WEEK PRIOR BUT WAS OFF ON THIS DAY. I DID ADVISE THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THE RECENT RECALL. WELL TODAY 4/4/14 THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. I JUST CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID I WOULD GET MY NOTICE IN THE MAIL FROM GM AND THEY ARE ORDERING PARTS. WHATEVER THAT MEANS. I ONLY HAVE 11463 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE TO ME. *TR

WITHOUT PROBATION, AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON EITHER UNTIL I TURN CAR OFF OR IF CAR SITS OVERNIGHT. I DO BELIEVE THE AIRBAG CAN DEPLOY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON IF WE WERE INVOLVED IN A CRASH. *TR
