Seat Belt Problems of GMC Acadia - part 2

I had a driver seatbelt malfunction right after I purchased the vehicle. I now have a second row, drivers side seat belt malfunction. They have not been able to repair or replace the seatbelt for over a year. I was told at the dealership that they were redesigning the seat belt. They would call me when it was avail, and also that it is not under warranty. Still no seatbelt.

Service air bag warning lite comes on. Dealership advises $12-1400 in repair costs. Have had other electrical issues with car. Spent almost $1000 replacing wiring harness to side detection. Had to replace most of dash wiring harness due to water damage which couldn't determine if manufacturing issue or accident repair. That was about $3000. Now after checking kelly blue book potential recall comes up. Don't know if reported prior or fixed by prior owner. Too much coincidence that comes up now and goes from passenger side to now driver side. . Dealership got light to go off for a while. Late last fall came back on again.

The passenger side seatbelt warning chimed to indicate a passenger was not wearing a seatbelt and the passenger airbag on/off light toggled back and forth when no passenger was in the car in the seat. This resolved spontaneously by the next day, now the service airbag soon notice and warning light is lit up on the dashboard. The car has not been in any accident that would cause the airbag to deploy or activate. I see that a previous recall was announced in 2014 for the 2009-2013 models of GMC Acadia, but my specific Acadia is a 2014 model. There are no active recalls listed for my vehicle, however an airbag malfunction is a serious concern for GMC Acadia owners. This issue just started and I have not visited a dealer yet.

I started noticeing when I open my glove box or had someone seating in the passager seat my airbag light would turn on with the engine running. The light would turn on and beep stating service air bag. The light would sometimes stay on or turn off. Once I took my Acadia to the dealership and they ran a bunch of test. At first they couldn't determine what the problem was. They determine it was the airbag and that it needed to be replaced. The back seat fastener on the middle seat failed to lock the buckle in place. Had to replace this.

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.

The side piece of the two font seats broke, I can't sit properly into my car without literally sitting on top of the side of the seat first. It concerns me because the seat belt sometimes gets stuck. Also the electrical buttons are all fallen, hanging from the side of both front seats do to the same issue. .

The casings to the seatbelts in the 2nd row have come off along with a lot of other plastic casing such as the floor vent in the back, the front seat reclining knob and others. The electrical system related to the speaker wires and the power door locks and windows are dysfunctional. The airbag light is on not sure if it is from the recall.

Stationary, new vehicle possibly inappropriately equipped. A vehicle with a 2nd row bench seat providing seating for 3 with a center occupant seat belt but without head restraint (and no provision for head restraint).

The springs inside plastic seat belt retractor p/n 19301109 have pushed through and broken the plastic housing on the male end of the buckle.

Vehicle was southbound on county road and attempted to make a right turn at the intersection, when the car struck the south embankment of the t intersection, as driver was unable to navigate the turn. None of the side or front airbags in the car deployed as a result of the crash. I am also unsure if the seat belt had operated correctly (seat belt was being worn at the time of the crash). The driver's head hit the side window and as a result he sustained a head injury and an eye injury resulting in optic nerve damage and complete loss of vision in the eye. I understand there were problems with the airbags on these vehicles with a possible recall issued. I do have all the corresponding accident reports, medical reports, etc.

In September 2014, recall #14187 was preformed and repair on my vehicle. However now is September of 2015, while driving my vehicle, the service airbag light started coming on. Took to dealership to look at under air bag light special coverage and was told it was not covered. Issue for the service airbag light I was told is due to the front seat belt retractor on the driver side. Call gm to complain. Was told original recall was repaired. It seems that this is still an issue even after the recall was done. Now it is the seat belt retractor instead of the tensioner.

On October 8, 2015, our family was driving on I-85 near huntersville, nc. We were in our 2015 GMC Acadia, which we¿d bought new in August. We were in steady, moving traffic. The cabin was quiet; I was driving, my wife was in the passenger seat, and our two children (ages 9 and 7) were in the second row captain¿s chairs. Both children were watching their ipads. Suddenly we heard what sounded like a pistol being fired inside the cabin, followed instantly by our 7 yr old son (¿son¿) screaming and yelling, ¿it hurts, it hurts. ¿ my wife and I both turned around and saw son clutching his lower back. I negotiated the car to the shoulder and saw that the entire housing/casing of his seatbelt buckle had spontaneously exploded. The buckle wouldn¿t unlatch, but my wife got him out of the seat and examined him. He had a puncture/gash in his lower back, where some of the shrapnel had hit him. We found both plastic and metal shards in the car. To give you an idea of the force the explosion caused, there was also a 2-4 inch hole in the interior door¿s paneling. Online research suggests that a pretensioner may have malfunctioned; a GMC service manager stated that the second-row captain chair should not have a pretensioner.

My wife fell asleep ran off the road struck a utility pole and a large dirt embankment. The air bags did not deploy nor did the belt tensioners,she hit the steering column so hard she it broke the column and broke her sternum. Our granddaughter was in the front passenger seat the air bag nor the tennsioners deployed resulting her back being broken in two places and also her foot was broken. I contacted general motors and they sent a man to download the computer information they sent me a copy of the info and later contacted me saying the info showed everything was working properly. Pryor to the accident I had the auto in for the recall on this problem. I also had it in for another recall for the headlights and they had to remove a large part of the front to do the repair and done a poor job of putting it back together I returned it and they finally got it right,in the mean time the service air bag light came on and they repaired that. Later after the accident I went back to the dealer and questioned the body shop manager about putting it back together properly and then told him about the accident then he had nothing else to say. The auto was a total loss after a length of time wife and granddaughter got out of hospital. This car was recalled for this very reason. My insurance company paid my granddaughter $95,000 for her injuries and commented that they would probably sue gm to get that back.

I purchased a 2014 Acadia that was part of NHTSA campaign number: 14v266000. The car was delivered to me without the recall being performed. This is in direct violation of the stop sale notice on the recall. The dealership now wants the car back ASAP to fix the recall, but the are still in direct violation of the law. Gm is arrogant and denies that this can happen in their system. Gm's system needs to be fixed as well. I have emails and voicemails that back up this information.

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.

The passenger sensing system is not working properly. Sometimes it will indicate that it is on and other times it will indicate that it is off even when someone who weighs over 140 pounds sits on the passenger seat. It won't indicate that the person doesn't have their seatbelt on. Even if driving and person has been sitting, it won't turn on. If an accident occurs the airbags will not go off because it doesn't sense correctly.
