1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2014 GMC Acadia

Failure Date: 02/18/2021

I have experienced my airbag light going on for the last several years. Due to it being out of warranty, I took it to my personal mechanic to get it repaired. It turned out to be a harness under the driver seat. Less than a year later, it happened again and this time it was the harness located under the right front passenger seat. This has been replaced twice and the light has intermittently appeared again the past 3 months.

32 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2010 GMC Acadia

Failure Date: 08/29/2018

The passenger seat seatbelt and airbag lights come on when no one is in the seat, or when something very light, such as a coke can is in the seat. This can happen at any point during a trip, and I have to buckle the seatbelt to stop the warning bell. It makes me nervous that the seat is so sensitive, and I fear the airbag may be sensitive as well. I make my daughter sit in the back, because I'm concerned for her safety. The vehicle can be stationary or in motion when this happens. It used to happen randomly, but it's been happening even if nothing is in the seat the last four days. There has been no recall on my vehicle.
