general problems of the 2010 GMC Acadia

The abs and the traction control light came on all of sudden when I was driving down the interstate and it just stays on.

The driver info screen alerted to service airbags. Airbag instrument panel light illuminated.

When starting the vehicle I get a "service airbags" warning. I push the dash button that clears the display and it does not come back on. Only when I am stationary and have just started the engine. I mentioned it to my dealership and they said, "OH, that could be expensive. " I have yet to get it serviced because others have stated the problem and spent lots of money to no avail. I am concerned that this is a factory defect and could be life threatening if ever involved in an accident. I have 159,000 miles on my vehicle and the warning began in the last 18 months.

"takata recall" we were notified November 2015 that our air bags could cause sever injury or death! what in the world are you waiting for. . Another lawsuit!!!!! when will this be repaired or given a safe vehicle to drive in the interim?????!!!!!.

The GMC Acadia has recently had a recall for a piece within the seat for air bags. However there is another piece called the passenger presence module (part #20933923) within the same seat that is also defective but not covered in the recall. This piece basically determines if someone is sitting in the seat and if the airbags need to be deployed if in an accident. If this piece is not working properly the person sitting in the passenger seat may be at risk. This car has never been in an accident nor have the airbags ever been deployed.

Starting in July 2013, after driving my 2010 Acadia for over 90 miles and stopping it for an hour or so I restarted the Acadia and the air bag service light appeared and stayed on. I stopped for gas after 60 miles and when I restarted the car the light did not come on. I stopped again after 25 miles and when I restarted the car the light came on. I restarted the Acadia the next day and no air bag service light. This again occurred numerous times after a 1 hour drive or longer. Recently, October/November 2013 the air bag service light appears after much shorter trips (less than 10 miles). Up to now, when I first start up the car in the morning, the air bag service light does not come on. But now it comes on after more frequent stops and restarts. Current mileages 33,143. 3 year warranty period expired 5/2013 however, I have not reached the mileage warrant period.
