2007 GMC Acadia Air Bags & Restraints Problems

The air bag light is on, when a diagnostic is done a code of B0081-OF shows up, which is passenger presence module erratic.

I bought car from a used car dealer ship. And didn’t really notice it had an air bag light on the cluster . Because newer vehicles the our bags stay off for passenger side if know one is in the seat. So that’s what I thought it was til I had it put on a computer. And it say it’s a sensor for passenger side air bag

THE LIGHT OF THE AIR BAGS IN TURN ON , AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS BROKEN , I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING ON MAJOR INTERSTATE MY SIDE AIRBAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED AND SMOKE FILLED THE VEHICLE AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON DASH APPEARED THEN STOPPED WORKING, NO RADIO OR NOTHING. NO RECALLS OF SUCH ON THIS VEHICLE.

PREMATURE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT I WAS JUMPING THE ACADIA FROM OUR 2012 FORD FUSION DUE TO A NO START - NO CRANK ISSUE. THE ACADIA'S BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DISCHARGED, SO I PLACED JUMPER CABLES ONTO THE POSITIVE END FROM THE FUSE BOX AND THE GROUND TERMINAL. THE ACADIA'S HORN WORKED, INDICATING ELECTRICAL POWER, SO I TRIED TO CRANK IT BUT IT DID NOT CRANK. I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT FOR LESS THAN A MINUTE BEFORE THE DRIVER AIRBAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, THE ACADIA'S ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED BACK IN JULY OR AUGUST. THE CAR DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THE CHARGING SYSTEM FAILED AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THE CAR SAT IN THE YARD FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE I TRIED TO JUMP IT OFF THE FIRST TIME. THE CAR DID START, BUT IT DIED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER. THE CAR SAT IN THE YARD FOR WEEK BEFORE I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN. THIS IS WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. ONE MORE THING: THE ACADIA LEAKED FROM THE SUNROOF, AND THE INSIDE OF THE CAR WAS WET. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONICS. ATTACHED ARE PICTURES AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.

TAKATA RECALL- ON 5-3-18 A CAR TURNED INTO THE PATH OF THE GMC AND THE GMC COLLIDED WITH IT HEAD ON. THE OTHER CAR (2004 TOYOTA CAMRY) HAD ITS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, BUT THE GMC DID NOT HAVE ITS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. OVER $3000 FRONT END DAMAGE OF GMC (BUMPER DESTROYED). VEHICLE DRIVER SERIOUSLY HURT IN GMC. VEHICLE SPEED ABOUT 35 MPH

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A DEALER, I INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. LOVED THE ROOM AND ALL THE FEATURES. I HAVE OWED THIS FOR LESS THAN A YEAR. ONE DAY I HAD NOTICED WATER COMING INTO THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED IT MAINLY UNDER THE DRIVERS FLOOR. IT LOOKED MINOR SINCE THE RUGS ARE BLACK AND I HAVE RUBBER FLOOR MATS. THE REAL ISSUE HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND ON MY MESSAGE CENTER STATED TO SERVICE AIR BAGS. I DIDNT HAVE A CHANCE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE SINCE THIS HAPPEN AROUND THE HOLIDAYS. I DECIDED NOT TO DRIVE MY GMC UNTIL I COULD GET INTO A GM DEALER. I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCALE GM DEALER 2ND WEEK OF JANUARY TOOK TIME FROM WORK TO ADDRESS ISSUE AND TO ADDRESS THE TAILGATE RECALL. I ASK THEM TO FIND OUT WHY MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND IF SERVICE WAS NEEDED. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE TECH THAT THERE WAS HEAVY WATER IN MY VEHICLE THAT LEAKED INTO THE AIR BAG MODULAR THAT IS LOCATED BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX. IT ALSO DAMAGE THE AIRBAG SENSOR LOCATED IN THE FLOOR UNDER THE RUG. MY HUSBAND ADVISED A REP AT THE DEALER THAT THE ISSUE MAY BE THE WATER CHANNELS. BUT PER THE TECH IT WAS DETERMINE THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS CAUSE OF THE WATER PER THE TECH THE DRAINS ON MY SUNROOF WERE WORKING AND WAS NOT THE ISSUE FOR THE WATER. I WAS ADVISED IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $4200? TO HAVE THE AIRBAG FLOOR SENSORS, AIRBAG MODULE REPLACE, NEW RUG INSTALLED AND WINDSHIELD REPLACED. IT COST ME $3200 TO FIX WITHOUT HAVING THE RUG REPLACED SINCE MY CONCERN WAS THE AIRBAG COMMUNICATED WITH THE VEH. NO VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS, RUG AIRED/DRIED BY DEALER AND FIXED. I GOT VEH BACK ON FRIDAY LESS THAN 72 HOURS LATER CALL TO GM DEALER. WATER IS STILL LEAKING IN SAME LOCATION SAME ISSUE, WATER IS NOT RESOLVED AFRAID THAT THE WATER IS GOING TO CAUSE A FURTHER DAMAGE TO VEHICLE AND AIRBAG. IM SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE?
