The driver air bag light went on and my car it's never been in an accident. I think this should be a manufacturer defect.
2010 GMC Terrain airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
We started the car and went to take off and our airbag signal light started flashing and beeping. Once we got home and parked it, the light went off. Well about a month later while driving to ct from fl the dinging and flashing light started again. And stayed on from about va to ct. It had since went off and now comes on and off often. And on our way home our windshield wiper was not working properly. As if it had to have a rest period. (not an option in the rain, on the highway).
While driving my 2010 terrain, my service airbag light repeatedly came on.I took it to the gmc dealership for repairs,I was told the airbag connector wires were defective. This is the statement the dealership put on my repair invoice : diagnostics.& history code b0014.found document # 2601877.suggest following this document before doing anything else.more may be needed but this is a place to start.replace airbag connector ends and terminals on both front seats.as described in doc. #26011877. More work may be needed.this could be a starting point...what a statement to make ,when it comes to a safety issue which cost $359.58 to repair.the defect was in the installation & the wiring of the connectors install in the vehicle. As stated above gmc knew this problem existed according the code b0014 & doc.#26011877 supplied to the dealerships.
Involved in a 21 car pile up in the upper peninsula during a complete white out. We were only traveling approximately 25 miles per hour but, we did have serious impact in the front, after hitting a trailer and also serious impact from behind when hit by a truck and trailer. No airbags deployed. The truck traveling ahead of us, that we hit, the airbags did deploy. My father and brother, who were also both driving chevy trucks, and also had serious front end damage during the same accident, their airbags did not deploy either.
I hit a bump about a month ago, and now my "service airbags" light keeps coming on. I have not had a collision, but now everytimes I hit a bump I get a ding and the "service airbags." not sure if any recalss on are for this problems.

A (service air bag) light came on in my terrain.I feel this a gmc defect and should be covered by them. I have only 44,000 miles. They said it will cost me $250.
I started receiving a warning to service passenger air bag whenever my oldest son sat in passenger seat. It did not occur whenever anyone else sat in the seat so I did not immediately act upon warning light/buzzer. Recently I had a problem with the air conditioning compressor, so when brought to the dealer, they found a bad electrical sensor connector under the passenger seat that was only activated when my son's weight was in the seat. A heavier person closed the connector circuit, a lighter person was not registering in the seat. If an accident had occurred, a passenger air bag malfunction could have occurred with serious consequences.

Traveling on a highway about 50mph a car turned left in front of us. We t-boned the car. The passenger air bag failed to deploy. The driver air bag shot off to the left. This was a 2010 terrain.
My new 2010 gma terrain will randomly display passenger seat belt is off while there is an adult passenger (+150 pounds) sitting there. In addition sometimes it has also caused an error code to appear and sometimes does not produce an error code. Additionally I have also received warnings on my dashboard that seat belts are not on and airbag errors. My dealership acknowledged that the airbag warning meant the airbags might not deploy in a crash and provided no fix, just a reset. This has occurred several times and I have to move my passenger to the back seat when this error occurs. I have also had the sensor replaced in my passenger seat with no change in what is happening. I have been told that the only notice they have about the passenger seat is that electronic devices can cause the airbag to be activated when no one is seating there. However that was not my complaint. Since my airbag problem started happening I have now also had the passenger light (and sounds) start randomly while I've been driving with no passenger present. My dealership told me I couldn't have any electronic device in the car on to fix that error. But I was told there is nothing they will do about my airbags at random times not working. Additionally I felt that having to turn off my electronic devices while driving is not fair, especially if I have passengers who want to use them. I have been terrified to drive with passengers present and have come close to being in accidents when my car randomly produces sounds for seat buckles (starting even after driving for 20 minutes and it doesn't stop). This has been recorded four times or so at the dealer but had happened at least a dozen times, even after I finally feel that it wasn't going to happen again. I have been told there is nothing to fix, even when my dealer sees the error codes.
I purchased a 2010 gmc terrain from rossi dealership .I had the truck for a day and the service airbag came on in the dash. I called onstar and they said to take it to the dealer. I was told it was a sensors for the airbag .the next day they tell me it's an airbag module. I still don't have the truck and they still don't know what is wrong with this truck.
