Car battery drained while car was unoccupied (in a garage) for two weeks. After jumping car operated as normal except for airbag light. Infiniti dealer informed me that the airbag diagnostic unit had failed and airbags would not deploy until a $1500 repair was done. Dealer noted that the unit likely failed when the battery was at low power or when jumping (jumped car exactly according to owner's manual).

The airbag light is blinking. I took the car to infiniti and I'm told that the there is a failure code b1018 stored due to internal failure of occupant airbag detection sensor. They are charging $6,653 to replace this part. $348 is labor and the remainder is the part cost. The car has 47,800 miles and is out of warranty by 3 months. Infiniti USA told me that the air bag would not deploy on the passenger side and that I should replace it immediately as it is a safety hazard for passengers which are mainly my children. Due to the fact that this part is priced so far out of reach for most normal consumers, I asked infiniti USA for some consideration as this is my only car. They declined any type of assistance in replacing the part. In other words, its dangerous enough for me to pay almost $7000 to replace it but not dangerous enough for them to help fix it. I was told at the dealership that they are seeing this sensor issue more and more on cars 3-4 years old and that they are not making them like this anymore.
