My appointment is in two weeks, is this safe to drive my family in?

I think you'll be OK to drive, but I would recommend doing the following:

1. Disable Auto Lower (Controls > Dynamics > Auto Lower) to prevent use of the air suspension
2. Remove any "auto raising locations" that may be set (if you've set them)
3. Inspect the Right Front Strut. Check the damper valve for physical binding, damage, or debris. Inspect the wiring and connectors for corrosion or loose connections (if you're able to see it)

So in the past when I’ve had safety related issues like seatbelt, brakes or suspension, I took the car to the SC and they got me in same day regardless of when the service appointment was. One time they did it for AC as well (live in Phoenix)
I’m not sure if that’s policy or because of a longstanding relationship with my local SC.
I think it’s worth a try. If you do that, please report back what they told you. Interesting to know.
