Side airbags and curtains should not deploy in frontal impact. They won't do any good and if other car comes at you from the side (right after you crashed) they will be already used and won't protect you. GM saving puting one sensor 4 all?

[chad8329]

@leonmobileca its keeps your head from hitting the B pillar and/or the door and roof line

[leonmobileca]

@chad8329 I guess you are liitle bit right but different manufacturers use only front airbags in case of front impact.

[alvastornado]

Looks like this car is just as safe as Volvo XC90, but i have read GMC Acadia had a issue with the airbag sensors, In worst case the airbags don`t go off in crash and that is scary. I want a XC90 or a Acadia but i am not sure anymore...

[frosterstar]

I was just reseantly in a car crash in a 2007 GMC Acadia and it did it's job me being a passenger in the second row only hit my head on the seat in front of me only endind up with a broken nose. Noone in the vehicle was majorly hurt but going about 55-60 down a highway to a complete stop did but alot of damage on the other car a Nissan altima. But overall the car was great. An Acadia saved my life.

Recently, I downgraded in size from a '04 Yukon XL to an '08 Acadia SLT2, red jewel tintcoat. I love the quiet ride, handling, and interior features, but I wish they would build the Acadia with a V8. Excellent crash ratings!

[carmencolumbusohio]

I TOTALLY agree! I have a Traverse and i LOVE it! It feels big like a truck but low enough to be a car. Yet the handling is GREAT! I am a GM buyer FOREVER :D

[13kmakarenko]

Pretty good, except the Side curtain airbags, they shouldnt have went off... In this kind of crash those side airbags will do more harm then good... That will be a hard smack on the head..

[fordforme]

Sometimes it's a good thing for the side air bags to go off in a frontal crash, as they can keep the driver's head from hitting the door or the roof.

[NotThatBadRSMVs]

i feel so safe in this car

[SCOTTIEHOTTIE123]

I am also so glad i just purchsed a new acadia. I do not feel scared with my kids in the ride.

[GuyaneseJumbie]

DID YOU CATCH THE AIR TIME ON THAT ONE?

[thejerk292]

i am glas i own an outlook

[adam22oflasvegas]

after seeing this test im proud to be an acadia owner

[whattheheck1000]

those curtain airbags worry me a bit. good thing they didn't go off in the nhtsa test

[4MATICbenz]

impressive (especially for a GM product) but this car had alot of rebound, which isnt really a problem i guess. Also why did the side airbags go off in a frontal crash?? whatever, better safe than sorry

[mybenz1994]

its a safety feature, so the drivers head dosen't hit the door frame or anything. Most new cars will do this.

[mybenz1994]

got one for my first car about a week ago LOVE IT!!!!!

[alexkvaskov]

very safe

[caraddict520]

it seems like this car rlly flew for its size

[alexkvaskov]

So...

unsafe GMCs (and there are some out there) are not good?

[alexkvaskov]

The Jimmy, Sierra, Safari, Sonoma

and their respective twins lol

[alexkvaskov]

Well, you just asked me to name unsafe GMCs and I did

[GMminivans9968]

I meant unsafe as in Poor.

[alexkvaskov]

well marginal's not awesome

[GMminivans9968]

Most of the ones you named were from the 1990s, and half the cars back then got Poor, so Marginal is not so bad.

[alexkvaskov]

Toyota had some acceptable and even goods back then though

so compared to the competition - unsafe

[GMminivans9968]

Like which ones?

[alexkvaskov]

Like the 4runner, avalon, camry, corolla, tacoma and sienna

[alexkvaskov]

true, but most gms got a poor rating or marginal at best in the 90s

btw there is no windshield intrusion in full frontals

[alexkvaskov]

true as well

[alexkvaskov]

damn true!
