What 260 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 GMC Acadia Limited

The PASSENGER side air bag system on my 2015 GMC Acadia is issuing a warning light as of yesterday. The current recall is for the DRIVER seat airbag which I was told by the dealership there is no fix for as this time. I am concerned that the same potential for harm or death is present if the passenger side airbag malfunctions and would like to report the condition and request that a formal recall be created. I am also requesting information regarding when a fix will be available for the current recall.

My vehicle was recalled for exploding airbag inflators but the manufacturer has no remedy. They suggested i get a loaner car as it isn’t safe to drive. I asked if they would supply a loaner car until they have a remedy and they refused stating that it would be my responsibility to pay for the loaner but again suggested my car is unsafe to drive. I cannot afford to rent a vehicle everyday for an unknown period of time while I wait for my vehicle to be fixed. Please help

A warning light is coming on telling to have the side detection module serviced. Brought it to a dealer and was quoted a cost of $1274 to repair. It is a complicated repair and if not repaired will affect other safety systems of the vehicle because all sensors are linked. I did some research and this issue is common for this make, model and year GMC Acadia. I would like some help getting assistance for payment of this issue - one that is common and represents a safety problem if not repaired. Issue is described as Side Detection Modules and Harness. If this is a common occurence and is a safety issue, a recall or other means of satisfaction should be offered by GM. Thanks, Brad Nylander 218 343-8780

Airbags - I received a service notification that the airbags needed to be serviced. I was told by the dealership there weren’t any outstanding recalls on this vehicle. When I researched myself, I saw that in fact, there is an outstanding recall for the airbags. The dealership is trying to charge me for the repairs on an outstanding recall on this car. If I had not researched on my own, I would be out of pocket hundreds of dollars. I transport myself and children I. This vehicle that I thought was safe. This is concerning. Struts - According to the car fax provided at the time of sale, the struts were replaced at the dealership 3 months before purchasing the car. 2 months later the struts have failed and the dealership will not cover the cost of the repair. There was only a 1,000 mile difference from when the struts were repaired until the time I purchased the car.

RECALLED. GMC NOT OFFERING ANY SOLUTIONS. I have two jobs, and two children. Got a notice saying recall "An Infaltor rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants." I noticed there have been TWO recalls on this. The first one was in 2022, and I was never informed. I need a solution. A refund for the loan amount or something. I can not put my children in the car, and I have no transportation and no solution.

The airbag recall was a month ago and according to two different GMC dealerships, GM has not yet provided the replacement for our vehicle and no ETA. Why issue a very important recall and not have the part on hand to repair a dangerous issue?

My steering rack and pinion as well as my power steering pump have gone out completely potentially put me in harms way By impairing my ability to drive defensively. by greatly reducing the vehicles reaction time . A worn steering rack can cause you to lose partial or complete control over your car steering wheel, which can lead to fatal accident. That goes without saying that steering rack is a major car maintenance procedure and is expensive. When they perform defectively, it can spell trouble and make your steering faulty and unreliable—this is what happens when the rack and pinion goes out. And I believe it goes without saying that the power steering pump is just as an intricate part of your design as is the rack and pinion they go hand-in-hand, and the potentially damage each other. In this case, they both went out.. I believe it’s well documented across many platforms, similar issues with the same model. document to the skyline motors in Rawlins, Wyoming. At the time there was no warning lights are indicators on the instrument panel whatsoever.

Side Object Detection Indicator failure. This was a recall in 2019 after my system failed causing the entire electronic dashboard to go black while driving on the highway. I had no indication of speed while driving. Once I pulled safely off the road and turned the vehicle off, it would not start and needed to be towed. I had it fixed and within months GMC recalled the module kit due to poor design resulting in failure to protect the module from expected weather exposure. The module was replaced in 2019. Again, in 2023, exactly 4 years again, the Side Detection Indicator has failed, due to expected weather exposure which resulted in corrosion. GMC denied replacement because I have already had it replaced. GMC is unable to confirm the module kit placed on my vehicle was an improved design and was the same kit design that has been known to fail. GMC engineers need to reassess for a second recall as the issue is not resolved and could lead to devastating injury or death.
