Air bag light kept coming on, was advised this would have to be replaced. I feel this should be something that is within manufacture standards. The car has never been in an accident, thus why do I have to spend $542 to have a drivers side air bag replaced?

I have a 2001 Pontiac Bonneville. The air bag warning light displays check air bag. The dealer says it has to be replaced for $650. The same day the left rear window fell down and the cost to repair is over $500. Neither the airbag nor the window have ever been used. The car has never been in an accident or off the road. Two parts failed for no reason.
