Description of the problem	On september 9, 2015 after starting the car at a store - the airbag light (srs light) came on and stayed on . The owners manual said to contact toyota immediately or take the car in to a dealer. I called stevinson toyota/scion in aurora, co where the car was purchased 10 years ago. The first available service appointment was in two days on 9/11/15. The service representative said that the only problem might be if i got into an accident and the air bag might not deploy but this did not alleviate my concerns so i did not drive unless necessary. At the dealer they told me that i would have to pay $185 to have the car checked out even though i insisted that this was a safety issue and should be under warranty, but to no avail. After checking the car out toyota replaced a spiral cable and charged me $585 total. I again insisted to the service manager that this should be a safety issue and covered by toyota, but again was denied. When i searched the internet for this issue i found that this was a common and recurring problem for scions (especially the spiral cable). Later i contacted toyota directly to plead the case for making this a safety/warranty item i was told basically - tough luck - the car had more than 50, 000 miles and older than 5 years. I believe toyota is wrong on this and because of the huge problems with air bags on their cars they should consider this a serious safety issue and cover it under warranty. As a side note - while driving with the air bag light on - my wife wanted to carry a big knife in the front seat so that we could get out if it malfunctioned!

What is Failure?
