Service Air Bag light is on; local mechanic advised GMC has an airbag recall.
Within the last week, my service air bag light came on and then would go off, either while driving or sitting. I could be driving down the road, the light would come on, stay on for a minute, go off for a minute and come back on. It did this for several days. Now the service air bag light stays on all of the time. The vehicle has not been in a crash.
Air bag light is on, the vehicle hasn't been in any accident. Sometimes the light will go off for a couple of days and then come back on, seems there should be a recall for this problem.
My 2015 gmc acadia has a service air bag light on. This vehicle has never been in an accident of any kind (minor or major). Not sure if it is an electrical short or if it is a bad air bag. Now I have no idea if the airbags will even deploy if we are in an accident. Since it is 3 years old the dealership said they will not cover it under warranty. To me this is a safety hazard that should be addressed with cost to the consumer. I have looked for any recalls but have not found any. I'm sure my vehicle is not the only one with this problem. Can you please look into this for the safety of the public. Thank you
