Air Bags

A warning light came on my dash. when i took it to the dealership they told me my airbag module would need to be replaced based on their diagnostic. they told me my airbags are possibly not working at this time. i feel this is a huge safety issue. since i am unable to afford the $2919.90 to have it replaced i am driving a unsafe vehicle.
