No matter what speed I am driving at or whether or not there is a passenger my service safety restraint system light comes on randomly and shuts off randomly. I called the dealership and they brushed it off saying it just means the airbag wont deploy if I were to get into an accident. Great thanks that makes me feel real safe! I see several people complaining about this as well and think it might be time to look into what the problem is and do a recall.
Airbag light on dash comes on solid. Dealership had vehicle for 3 days and repair made to seat belt tensioner, days later, airbag light returns on dash. Other GM vehicles were recalled for airbag problems but maybe should include the Acadia.
The vehicle was traveling at a very low speed in a parking lot and impacted a light pole. All front airbags deployed and the drivers steering wheel airbag deployed severely breaking the drivers arm, causing shoulder injuries, and neck injuries. The occupant would have been completely fine had the airbags not deployed.

We bought our car on 11/7/2020,2 days after starting the messages appear on the screen (service safety restraint system) car and on my phone, this always happen when in motion, on a city or highway doesn't matter where you're driving. We have no idea what could cause the problem cause only had 2 miles when took it out from the dealer. I feel that is a defective product installed on the vehicle. Also the passenger seat doesn't move to be adjusted. Went to the dealer a week ago but still waiting for call back to made the repair.
