2017 GMC Acadia Air bags Problems

“The 2017 Gmc Acadia horn takes an unreasonable amount of force to engage. This has been noted by several users. My spouse had a semi truck come into her lane a day ago and could not get horn to sound to warn other driver. Gmc dealership investigated and said its just the way the assembly works in this model. I believe this represents a safety issue as it makes the horn unusable when you need it quickly and without taking your eyes off the road. Gm is saying to bad.”

“I started noticeing when I open my glove box or had someone seating in the passager seat my airbag light would turn on with the engine running. The light would turn on and beep stating service air bag. The light would sometimes stay on or turn off. Once I took my Acadia to the dealership and they ran a bunch of test. At first they couldn't determine what the problem was. They determine it was the airbag and that it needed to be replaced. The back seat fastener on the middle seat failed to lock the buckle in place. Had to replace this.”

“My husband and I were in a very serious car accident and I'm concerned because our air bags did not deploy. We were traveling on a diagonal street in chicago and he was going straight. My right front fender hit his right front fender. His air bags deployed but ours did not. The er told me it was likely I hit the steering wheel and it could take up to nine months to heal from having whiplash in my shoulders and neck. My husband has been diagnosed as having a contusion. We hit really hard I was traveling about 25 MPH and he was probably doing 45 MPH. This is a real safety issue. …”

“Horn is so hard to push no one in my family can sound horn guys at dealer could not get it to sound without excessive force this is highly dangerous no one at the dealer or Gmc will fix it they say it was the way it was designed again very dangerous some one needs to fix this flaw before someone dies in an accident because they were unable to sound horn to avoid collision I would have never imaged buying a brand new car I would have unresolved safety concerns with the answer from Gmc and the dealer being we aren't fixing it so I guess you shouldn't drive it that's the fix not to drive my one…”

“The airbag light on this car has been going off and on since it was purchased in october 2017. Every couple of months there was another problem with the airbag. The dealership could never diagnose the problem. They initially claimed the sensors were unplugged as a result of moving the seat back and forth. Now that the car is out of warranty, they want to diagnose the problem as a faulty sensor. Additionally, the automatic transmission shift to park issue is occurring. …”
