Airbag light on on other Acadia years
No other Acadia model year has enough reports of airbag light on for a sheet of its own. See every Acadia year.
What this problem usually is
This is the narrower sheet inside airbag problems for the warning light itself: an airbag or SRS light that stays on, or comes and goes, with no crash involved. The light is the car saying part of the airbag system may not work when it's needed.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the sensor (5 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the airbags cover the 2014 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The driver's air bag inflator may explode during deployment, due to a manufacturing defect.
The side curtain air bags may not be properly attached.

What owners wrote
“Acadia Denali had Takata air bag inflater replaced, service air bag light is still on. Dealer stated there is a side air bag problem as well. 2014 Acadiaâs had previous recall for side airbag issues, most likely is same issue the vehicle isnât listed. Contacting corporate regarding issue.”

“Twice in the past six months, the âService Air Bagâ warning light has come on. The first time, the wiring under the front passenger had to be resodered. Last week, the same warning came back on, and the wiring under both front seats had to be resodered. I feel this is a safety issue, and a design failure in this year and model car.”

“Service airbag light has been on since Iâve had the car. It was not covered by warranty (even though it is important?) in order to fix it I was quoted over $1000 which is ridiculous as I only had it a month before that and traction control became a issue. Warranty covered the traction but not the airbags.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 61 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
