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.
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.
Vehicles airbag was activated, brought to chevy dealership was told it was a wiring issue involving passenger side. Was told there was. O warranty or recalls to cover problem and would require complete rewire of harness as they were unsure which wire was causing the issue ($2,000). Through research found that it is a known problem for 2008-2011 Acadia's but our VIN wasn't designated as being involved in recall. How gm can claim that a vehicle wxperiencing the exact same issue as the recall isn't covered under the recall is ridiculous. This appears to once again be gm disregarding safety caused by their failures in production so that they can make more money.
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.
"tamara recall". I received several notices. Initially auto dealership denied recall existed. Now claims it doesn't apply to my car. Original owner and live in south florida. What engine the heck is going on? do we have to have a fatal injury to get their attention? engine mounts keep breaking, 16,000 mile intervals. First time dealership replaced. Now at 33,000 miles my phone problem? guess we need catastrophic failure before manufacturer engineers better engine mounts?! low mileage vehicle, careful driver on good roads. Please send feedback.
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.
2011 GMC Acadia. Consumer writes in regards to corrosion and/or loose crimps in seats mounted side impact airbag wiring harness connectors recall notice. The consumer stated he received a second recall notice, for additional repairs. However, the dealer stated the repairs were done, and gm sent the notice in error.
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.
