Air Bag Service code shows up. It can be removed briefly by moving the seat back and forth. I did some research and this is similar to the recalls for older years previously issued with the wiring harness causing the air bags to malfunction. This is extremely dangerous and is well known on many car complaint sites. Why has nothing been done? Thank you.
2014 GMC Acadia airbags complaints
Page 8 of 9: complaints 191 to 220 of 246, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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
Service side blind detection started going off then the side blind detection stopped working completely. Now the entire electrical system is not working correctly and was told the side blind detection monitors can cause the entire electrical system to malfunction.
Service airbag notification remains on due to unrepaired sensor. I paid the dealer once to make the repair and the service notification came back on a year later, but they want to charge me for the repair again. I have not been in a major accident so I'm not sure if the airbags will work. However, this has been a concern. I purchased the vehicle brand new from the dealer and this problem began within a few years. However, they refuse to help me without charging me hundreds of dollars.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc acadia. The contact stated that she saw the air bag indicator light illuminate in her vehicle. The contact recieved an email for recalls alerting her for the takata air bags however the VIN tool showed no recalls. The dealer bryner chevrolet, inc. 1750 the fairway, jenkintown, pa 19046 (215) 886-3140 did not see the air bag indicator light illuminate and could not duplicate the issue. The contact stated that she did not know if the dealer did anymore diagnostic work to check the issue. The issue recurred again recently with the air bag light illuminating. The manufacturer stated that there were no recalls. The vehicle was unrepaired. The failure mileage was 85,000.
Air bag warning light is on. The light stays on all the time.
Timing chain/belt. Suv is making a loud rattle when turning vehicle on. I got this issue "fixed" last yea right at 79,000 miles. Warranty paid for it. 20,000 miles late I am having the same issue again, rattle noise, engine light on, air bag light is on. It worries that this will be a major if it gives out while I am driving with my kids.
2014 gmc acadia went abruptly into what they call limp mode. The engine lost power, with a massive shutter throughout the vehicle, numerous warning lights on dash, saying reduced power, low voltage, traction control/stability control and check engine light. I have done some online research and seems to be a big issue for the acadia! A recall to general motors is in order so all these safety issues get addressed as soon as possible. There are stories that the dealers have fixed them but a week or two later the issues returned. Please help us
The service air bag light just came on this gmc has been well maintained and clean no damage at all to the car it just came on , I googled it and have seen complaints apon complaints about it but nothing done I put my children and girlfriend and myself in this car and it makes me sick to my stomach now to know the airbag or something is wrong
"service air bag" light kept coming on and staying on. Took to dealership we purchased from and they told us the problem was under the seat and he reconnected the wires and told us if it happened again that they would replace it. It happened over and over. If you move the seat, it would turn on or off. Took to dealership to have it replaced but instead they told us that was not the problem that it was in the door. We paid the $450.00 and 7 days later the "service air bag" came on again. We are taking it back tomorrow. This issue, to me, is a big safety issue. If an accident occurs, and the airbags did not work because of this not being fixed correctly.... Could cause a death. This began in late 2019. It comes on at start up, or while driving down the road. It comes on anytime and has stayed on and unable to clear it until we figured out to move seat and it turns itself off, sometimes.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc acadia. The contact stated that while driving 35-40 MPH, the air bags warning indicator light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to phil moore buick gmc (5728, I-55, jackson, ms 39211, (601) 376-9934) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the wiring underneath the front driver's seat was loosened and needed to be adjusted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.
So when I have only had this vehicle for two months now and this morning when I left for work the "service airbag" light and warning display came in y. I have attempted everything to have it go off that was recommended by other acadia owners. Nothing had worked ...I have read several complaints about the exact same thing and feel that because to be addressed by gm. I do not think that I add a single mother and grandmother should be out 590 to 600 dollars for something that is obviously a malfunction that gm cannot get right. Period is in the prior vehicles.
After start up (while driving or with vehicle at rest) service airbag notification pops up and remains on dash center notification area along with airbag system light on dash. Dealer wants over $1,000 to repair something that should be covered under recall or warranty special coverage. This type of very common occurrence shouldn't be limited by a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. Owners manual states that air bag may not deploy. Gm customer service number claims that the system fault will not prevent air bag deployment, but I wouldn't trust that girl on the phone to be able to change her own wiper blades, let alone explain the functionality of the airbag system. Gmc needs to issue a recall for this problem that people are having at alarming rates with their 2014 gmc acadias. This is not limited only to the 2013 and older gmc acadias.
First, 2 days after we purchased the car, the engine light came on. Then the front camera needed service and the side warnings stopped. Then the seat heaters quit. The fobs both quit working, would. It properly unlock the doors. We got an airbag needs service warning. A check gages warning. A service tire monitoring system warning. Finally, the engine locks up and won't start, turn over, or anything. Several hours later, the car starts. Then it goes through the whole cycle again over the next few weeks til it doesn't start again and leaves us stranded. Again. The first time, the mcdaniel gmc service department changed out the battery and believed that would fix it. We paid $190 for that. It didn't work. It went through the same cycle again within a month. Now they expect us to pay to have he module fixed, even though they knew there was a recall for it when hey sold it to us.
While driving, both a service air bag message and the airbag readiness light are periodically displayed on the instrument panel and do not reappear when the engine is turned off and back on. After a full diagnostics check completed at the dealership, the technician indicated that the warning messages are due to faulty connections in the wiring harness that need to be re-soldered to ensure a proper connection.
While driving on the highway going 65 MPH, engine light came on, then reduced engine power alert. The car went down to 8 MPH and hard to steer. I was barely able to pull off on the side without getting hit. Turned off the car (45 mins) as I was waiting for my spouse and when I turned it back on, it started without an issue. The engine light has come on a few times and then it turns off on its own. The car has shut down a few times when driving slowly - turning from a stop or in drive-thru. Took it to the auto repair shop and mechanic was unable to replicate issue and find anything wrong with it. I also get the airbag sensor light turn on and off randomly.
Service air bag light has been going on and off for a couple weeks. As of 4 days ago it has been on and stayed on. I've been told that it has something to do with the sensor in the seat and from research it looks like this is a very common problem in this vehicle
Started the car on a rainy day and the airbag light came on and a message displayed "service air bag". I turned the car off and started the car again and the message and airbag light stayed on. I have searched several forms where several consumers are having this same issue.
My "service air bag" light and warning came on and we took it to a mechanic who stated it is the wiring under my drivers seat causing the warning light. The light first came on a few days ago when I turned my car on and we have since discovered the light will go on and off if I move my drivers seat forward and back, but this is a temporary fix as the warning light stays on in the seat position I need to keep it in for driving. This is the same issue as the recalled 2008-2013 gmc acadia. Mine is a 2014 and not a part of the official recall, but clearly this is the same issue and needs to be recalled and repaired at the expense of gm.
Service aig bag light has illuminated. From the research I have done, when this occurs, it disables the airbags from functioning when the vehicle is in an impact collision. It appears that there was a recall on gmc acadias for this issue through the 2013 model. This is an on-going issue with the acadia that results in a potentially life threatening safety feature not working.
There are hundreds if not thousands of 2014 acadia owners having a service air bag light come on and wont go off. There was a recall for all acadia's of 2013 and earlier that had a recall to fix this dangerous issue. 2014 needs to be included in this recall. This is a safety hazard and possible death upon impact issue if airbag doesnt go off due to gmc's negligence in dealing with the same issue previous models had. Gmc could face lawsuits if someone is killed due to this issue on this year acadia. Its approx $500 to fix and is a consistent problem across many owned acadias. My car has never been in an accident or had the airbag deployed. This needs to be dealt with immediately.

On saturday evening august 3, 2019 my wife, who was driving our 2014 gmc acadia, reported to me that a red air bag warning light and the message "service air bag" came on and remained on while driving. On sunday august 4, the warning light and message went off during the day when I was driving the vehicle, but later came on when my wife drove the vehicle during the evening. On monday august 5 while I was driving the acadia, both the warning light and message "service air bag" came on and stayed on while driving. On monday august 5 I drove the acadia to a gm dealership as soon as it opened. The dealership said there were two diagnosis codes for two separate failures relating to the air bags. The first was code b0022 (which the dealership said was related to a wiring failure). The dealership advised this failure code of b0022 was covered under warranty pursuant to gm special coverage adjustment number 15804. The dealership said that the second diagnosis code was b0058 (which the dealership said was a failed sensor). The dealership said that both of these problems needed to be fixed in order for the airbags to work. The dealership said, however, that replacement of the sensor was not covered under adjustment 15804. The dealership did offer a discounted charge for replacement of the failed sensor and as of this writing the vehicle remains at the dealership to make all repairs necessary for the air bags to work. I have advised the dealership of my intention to report the sensor failure issue to ntsb so that ntsb and gm are aware of it. I have also reported the above to gm customer assistance and am awaiting a return call from a "senior advisor". I have also requested that gm cover all costs relating to the sensor failure as well as the wiring failure as I have been informed by the dealership that both relate to the failure of the air bag system.
Air bag warning light in the display intermittently comes on and remains on for several days to several weeks then clears for a period of time then repeats. Have not been able to replicate the issue when presenting for diagnostic repairs.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc acadia. Upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to berlin city nissan of portland (227 maine mall rd south, portland, me 04106, 207‑390‑8982) where the contact was informed that they were not equipped to repair the air bags. The contact took the vehicle to another dealer (bill dodge gmc buick, 2 saunders way, westbrook, me 04092, (207) 420-8987) where it was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 84,090.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 gmc acadia. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v614000 (electrical system) by serra buick gmc cadillac (12300 30 mile rd, washington, mi 48095, (586) 331-2540). After the contact retrieved the vehicle, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. Serra buick gmc cadillac (12300 30 mile rd, washington, mi 48095, (586) 331-2540) diagnosed that the air bag sensor needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 97,725.
"service air bag" light came on. Dealer made wiring repair to a sir module and replaced a sir system sensor for approximately $530. Immediately after picking the vehicle up from the dealer the "service air bag" came on again. The dealer was able to find a "bulletin" from gmc advising technicians to correct problem by soldering some electrical connections. This appears to have solved the problem. This seems to be a substantial design flaw and serious safety issue for a mission critical system where reliability is paramount. This part does not rotate, it is not subject to any unknown wear and tear, there are no preventative maintenance actions provided by the manufacturer. It also appears that gmc has not adequately advised their dealers and technicians that this deficiency exists and what the proper corrective actions is without exorbitant costs to the consumer.
The service air bag soon light is on and the car only has 74,000 miles and has never been in a wreck. This is the same issue that there was a recall for earlier model year acadias up to 2013 and it is widely reported that the 2014s have the same issue; that the connector has to be resoldered for the airbags to deploy. This is a known safety issue to gmc and they are charging approximately $400 to fix a known safety issue. Now I'm going to have to pay $400 to get this fixed because it is not an included recall on the 2014s and I don't want my wife driving a car without airbags.
I'm getting service air bags on my 2014 gmc acadia. There was a recall on airbags previously for this vehicle from 2009-2013 but not this model. I've read enough complaints on the airbags failing and this is a safety concern that needs to be addressed. This car has not been in any accidents or flood damage. There should be no reason why I should be getting service air bag message
The airbag service warning came on while driving on highway. Please assist asap, we drive our children in this vehicle.
