After 90k miles, the airbag light came on. I took the car into the dealership, the diagnostic required me to replace the sas module. I would need to re-calibrate the airbag sensors, if this was unsuccessful then I would need to spend another $2400 replacing the airbag sensors. The car has been in no accidents and no fender benders, seems like a manufacture defect.
