Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2007 GMC Acadia

While driving on major interstate my side airbags suddenly deployed and smoke filled the vehicle and all the lights on dash appeared then stopped working, no radio or nothing. No recalls of such on this vehicle.

I was driving and the side airbags exploded for no reason I was driving on 225 in houston texas and they just exploded.

Passenger side air bag/ the defectiveair bag sensor in the passenger seat will not turn on the air bag when a parson is in that seat. The GMC dealer said the car is out of warranty, so will not fix the problem at no cost. I believe this is safety issue, GMC should repair this safty violation at no charge.

Passenger side air bag will turn off & on - sensor in seat will not recognize when someone is sitting in it or if they shift their weight or move in any way it will turn the airbag off.

I bought this vehical from our local GMC dealorship and two weeks after driving away from the lot, the front air light indicated that the passenger side air was not active even with a person sitting in the seat. I contacted the dealorship and they said they I would have to pay $800. 00 to fix this item. Keep in mind, I just bought this vehical from them and did a quick google search and this appears to be a common problem with this model vehical yet not recalls have been issued. My wife was 8 months pregnant at the time and refused to ride in the vehical until I got it fixed. We are also having transmission issues which appears to happening to 100's of thousands of other Acadia owners. Why has this vehical not been recalled yet? I dont understand how they can get away with selling these items knowing that there are so many safety issues with them.

I was in a auto accident in Feb/2012. I pulled out in front of someone and they hit me at the left front fender and drivers door. I was stopped and the other vehicle was traveling between 55-60 mph. No air bags went off in the vehicle. I feel that at least the side airbag should have went off.

Vehicle is a 2007 GMC Acadia. The passenger side airbag turns off when there is a person sitting in the seat whenever they move. Sometimes the airbag remains off for 10 to 15 minutes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed as a bad occupancy module and loop connector. There is already a recall for these issues, however my VIN number is not included in the recall. After talking to GMC, they said that there was nothing they could do and I should pay the $1700 to correct the problem and hope that I get reimubursed at a later date.

On 4/20/201, I was driving my 2007 GMC Acadia on a residential street at or near the posted speed limit of 35 mph when the side/curtain airbags spontaneously deployed on both sides of the vehicle. The only sound I heard was the deployment of airbags. I immediately pulled to the side of the road. Onstar came online and notified the local police. When the police arrived, the police investigated the scene, including surveying the road behind me to see if there were any potholes or debris. Nothing was found in the road. An incident report was filed but no accident report was filled out. Aaa was called and showed up with a flatbed truck and towed my car to the dealer. When the car was offloaded from of the tow truck, the front passenger wheel was damaged. This damage did not occur at the scene of the spontaneous deployment of the airbags. Gm has denied taking responsibility for the malfunction of the vehicle. Gm claims operator error and that the airbags performed properly. Their claim is based upon the damage to the wheel and they claim that the airbags deployed because the vehicle tipped beyond the 48 degree threshold for the firing of the airbags. These claims by gm are false. I was traveling on a residential street at approximately 35 mph, I did not hit anything and the car did not, at anytime, tip anywhere near 48 degrees. This is not the first problem I have had with this vehicle and I am now scared to drive this vehicle again. Updated ivoq 08/12/jb.
