Starting out from a dead stop, struck a very small traffic island while driving approximately 5 -10 MPH. Without front end impact, dual airbags deployed. Dealer took vehicle the next day to inspect it, and stated that original claim will cover damages. About 3 weeks later, an outside company claimed a scrape was found on the frame, and warranty would not cover damages.
