I left my car parked in my driveway for five days. Good weather. Upon my return I started it up and the airbag safety light was on and remained on. I immediately contacted the dealer and set an appointment for the next morning at 7:30 am. After some friction about them wanting $85. To diagnose the problem (car under extended warranty), a defective driver side impact sensor was found and replaced at no charge. Unfortunately I failed to ask for the old part.
