Airbag warning light came on for 2 days. Went out before scheduled service at dealer. No diagnostic code was returned. Dealer advised to return car immediately if light went on again. Approximately a week later light went on again, car was returned to dealer with light on and an "unknown code" was returned by diagnostic unit. Approx 3 weeks later, without warning, passenger side front airbag deployed spontaneously. Car filled with powder making visibility impossible, and the force of the airbag deployment shattered and pushed out the passenger side of the windshield, scattering shards of glass all over the front seat.
