Rear Window Defogger Problems of Infiniti G35

There is an apparent known defect in the 2003 Infiniti G35 models. The radio and climate control will apparently lose all indicators, as if there is no power, but will continue to function, staying frozen on at their last settings. The radio volume or channels cannot be changed and the air conditioning/heater,etc. Are stuck on their last settings and cannot be changed without turning the car off. This is caused by a defective control board behind the dash. Infiniti/Nissan is aware of the problem, and has issued a voluntary service campaign (# itb03-007b) to repair the 26,300 vehicles listed by VIN # on the service bulletin. This is a hazard , as in the winter, the front or rear defrosters cannot be turned on, or the air conditioning turned off, causing a hazardous driving condition. Infiniti says my 2003 VIN # does not fall into the bulletin parameters, (VIN # is higher), and they will not cover the repairs, even though it is the same problem. Infiniti states the cost to repair. . . . . . . . . $2600. 00. It is apparent that the bulletin did not go far enough to cover this defect on a larger quantity of vehicles than Infiniti wants to admit.

The rear defrost interferes with the radio. You can't play the radio if it's raining. The jim colman Infiniti dealer ordered the part that took 3 months to come in. When they finally installed the part it did not fix the problem. I was told they would have to replace the rear window, however they can't because my basic warranty had expired. I was still covered under the warranty when they ordered the part that didn't fix the problem.
