My airbag indicator lit up and I was not involved in any accident or even a fender bender. After this the engine indicator lit up as well, I had to replace the battery, change spark plugs at the local Firestone. Now I have a problem with the theft indicator and the vehicle does not turn on. Several problems have come up since the airbag indicator lit up.

What 2013 GMC Terrain owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
My car is stating that I need to service my air bag.
While traveling approximately 45-50 miles per hour on a two-lane country road, a deer struck my vehicle. The front grille, radiator, and fiberglass were damaged. A strong burning smell became apparent and a 'service airbag' warning message appeared, but the airbag did not deploy.
The airbags light keeps showing up on my board.
After purchasing this vehicle two weeks later I developed a very serious skin rash on my face and neck and severe health issues causing me to have cardiac arrest symptoms in and out of the hospital for the past 11 months my daughter has been in the hospital and my dog is also dying from the same symptoms. My situation is life or death at this moment and my condition is unknown and I'm not sure if I will survive
It started saying service airbags
Was in an accident, hit from behind and the dash stated the air bags were deployed, they were not. The smell of gun powder made it seem like they were triggered but did not deploy. I was at a full stop and was hit on a 2 lane road the driver hit me at approx. 45 MPH
Out of no where my car is telling me to service airbag.
States that air bag need serviced.
The airbag light will not go off..the biggest problem is the acceleration issues..when I give the gas to increase speed it hesitate..and sometimes the engine races for no reason..and when I put the car in drive it will not go..it gets stuck..I have to put it in park for a minute the put it back into drive then it will go.
