If it keeps popping up or stays on for the entire trip, you’re among the 100 people with an airbag light problem. When it comes on at the start of the vehicle and disappears, that’s completely normal. If your Acadia computer system runs diagnostics on your airbag system and finds an issue, you will see the airbag light on indicating a problem. Some noticed the problem from the time they bought the vehicle.


Over one hundred GMC Acadia owners reported problems with their airbag lights turning on without any apparent cause. You will spend about $700 to $1,000 on average to fix the problem. If you can’t find any leakage, use an R-134a leak detector to check areas in the system that could be experiencing a refrigerant leak even after running a dye test. Make sure to check signs of leaks in the AC condenser before leaving the garage and the evaporator, which requires the removal of the interior dashboard to replace.Ī faulty AC may also cause problems with acceleration. Replacing the AC piping or the evaporator coil can help fix the problem.

Some drivers report that their AC will work appropriately in the first few miles and suddenly turn off at low vehicle speeds or when the car is idling. Most owners say that fixing the leak doesn’t fix the problem entirely as it doesn’t cool the cabin as it used to. The leading cause of the non-functioning AC in your Acadia is the refrigerant leak that shuts off cooling in the entire vehicle. The 2015 models have the most complaints, with most of the problems cropping between 44, 000 miles and 79,000 miles. In fact, you’re among thousands of buyers dealing with one of the most common problems with the GMC Acadia 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 models. If you notice some hissing sound from the center of the dashboard (probably compressor engaging and disengaging) or your air conditioner is blowing cold air, you’re not alone.
