An acceleration sensor apparatus for a vehicle capable of properly detecting an acceleration acting on a vehicle body in a predetermined direction even when the mounted orientation of the acceleration sensor apparatus changes relative to the vehicle body, and capable of providing an output operation when the vehicle body tilts more than a predetermined angle. A sensor housing is fixed on a vehicle body such as on a seatback. A sensor bracket is swingably supported by the sensor housing about an axis parallel to an axis of tilt of the seatback. An inertial body is movably supported in a support depression of the sensor bracket. An output interlock member provides an output operation in an interlocking relation with an ascending movement of the inertial body along a slope of the support depression. An upper weight is located above a swing center axis. A lower weight is provided so that the center of gravity of an assembly swingably supported about the swing center axis is positioned below the swing center axis. Further, when the sensor bracket swings more than a predetermined angle, a forcibly driving member provides an output operation so as to restrain the webbing from further being released from a retractor.
