I purchased this vehicle from a dealer, I instantly fell in love with it. Loved the room and all the features. I have owed this for less than a year. One day I had noticed water coming into the vehicle. I noticed it mainly under the drivers floor. It looked minor since the rugs are black and I have rubber floor mats. The real issue happen while driving my airbag light came on and on my message center stated to service air bags. I didnt have a chance to address the issue since this happen around the holidays. I decided not to drive my gmc until I could get into a gm dealer. I called to make an appointment with a locale gm dealer 2nd week of january took time from work to address issue and to address the tailgate recall. I ask them to find out why my airbag light was on and if service was needed. It was determined by the tech that there was heavy water in my vehicle that leaked into the air bag modular that is located behind the glove box. It also damage the airbag sensor located in the floor under the rug. My husband advised a rep at the dealer that the issue may be the water channels. But per the tech it was determine that the front windshield was cause of the water per the tech the drains on my sunroof were working and was not the issue for the water. I was advised it was going to cost me $4200? To have the airbag floor sensors, airbag module replace, new rug installed and windshield replaced. It cost me $3200 to fix without having the rug replaced since my concern was the airbag communicated with the veh. No vehicle for 5 days, rug aired/dried by dealer and fixed. I got veh back on friday less than 72 hours later call to gm dealer. Water is still leaking in same location same issue, water is not resolved afraid that the water is going to cause a further damage to vehicle and airbag. Im surprised that there has never been a recall for this issue?

I continually have a message in my display to service airbags; I have taken the car in at least 3 different times and paid each time for the service department to determine what is causing the problem. They have been unable to find the problem and the message continues to display. I'm concerned because of all the ongoing problems with vehicle airbags. It isn't fair to have to pay for so many inspections with no results and especially for such a serious condition.
2007 gmc acadia slt-1 passenger air bag light goes on and off while driving. And the display in the dash says passenger air bag needs servicing. I contacted gmc and they said they had no recalls listed for my vehicle based on my VIN number but have found several websites that says there should be an open recall based on my vehicles year, make, and model.
Seat belt sensor warning light comes on at start-up. Goes off and on when moving. The patterns are unpredictable. Sometimes it consistently turns on and off. Other times it may not display at all. I did discover a recall related to this model - recall id # 47176, effective feb 21, 2007. The local dealer however reported my model is not covered.

Airbag light on for passenger side airbags. Has taken to dealership, unable to fix. Current recall does not cover 2007, but 2007 has the same problem as 2008 and beyond.

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.
I was coming home with my five children when getting close to home my truck just would not go over 10 MPH I would pull over for cars behind me to pass after I tried turning it off and restarting but it would do the same glad I was close to home that I was able to get their. I got home shut the truck off and tried to turn back on and it wouldn't I have been told that it was a sensor and replaced it and it still didn't work know I have been told that it is the motor that is bad it is embarrassing to have a truck in your driveway that you have not been able to use and still owe have the amount of what it was sold to us. They also told me that this was common on 2007 because of the faulty motor that was put into them as I read some of the reviews it should be considered as a recall because of the price these trucks go for new or used suppose ably it is a high quality vehicle and its sad that their is so many bad reviews and nothing has been done to help all the people who are having this issue as gm knows this isn't something you can say I will get it fixed right away you are talking thousands of dollars for repairs.
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.
