Considering options

I totally agree-up to a point. This is not something that should just wear out with time-this is (at least to me) a manufacturing defect. And if it is something that Infiniti is aware,I feel they have a moral responsibility to make things right. But than again that's my opinion (and everyone has one-as they say). I could be wrong,I've been wrong many times before.

Ill give you that. I agree that its most likely not wear and tear (although these things do happen occasionally due to aging wiring/electronics. Not to mention BOSE never made the best car audio to begin with). But whether its a factory defect or wear and tear, I dont think Infinity is going to bother with a recall on a ~10 year old car for something as trivial as a parasitic drain on the battery. Not to discredit anyone experiencing the issue. God knows I wouldn't want to deal with it. (praying it doesnt start now...)

No need to get all butt hurt, you're not the only one who misspelled the name in this thread. And I have plenty of better and more important things to do, but as a moderator I am required to look through the forum daily and help clean it up. You drive an Infiniti, not a brand of speakers.

I ACTUALLY work for Infiniti, and it happen all the time man, I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a customer to get to our website and order a part, after about the 18th minute, I figured out, that he was putting grubbsinfinityparts.com and not grubbsinfinitiparts.com...... ugh....
OP, are you serious? these responses are just messin with you, there is no imperial court of response for these issues, if you really are trying to contact Infiniti, I suggest trying Infiniti Consumer Affairs, as some have said, I don't think they will do anything, for the age of the vehicle.....
good luck

It's been 2 years, I doubt he ever got a legit response. ...considering he thought posting on an enthusiast forum would yield an official answer.

Not a new battery, I mean fixed. find out the source of the problem and get it fixed. Is it going to be expensive? probably. Is it cheaper than just dealing with it and replacing the batteries? potentially. Its up to you to weight the cost/benefit. welcome to the world of used cars. Its like me asking Mazda to recall the apex seals in my Rx7. is it common for them to go out and ruin the engine? yep. Will they do anything about it? nope. Unless your battery draining somehow leads to a horrific accident and lawsuit, Infiniti is probably going to tell you to suck lead

Side note. I still cant tell if the origin of this thread is actually serious. seems kind of.... trolly....
I had a 74 Mazda RX4 and just kept adding oil when needed. Sure the seals had a problem but topping off the oil was an easy remedy.

yea if the oil seals are shitting the bed just keep feeding it oil. Thats what I did with my current one until i yanked the engine. Pre-mixed it along with the OMP. But all the oil in the world wont fix a blown apex seal.

On a side note, why is this thread still alive..

I am in that boat with you. Now I cannot even use my window defogger (front and rear) and it has become a serious driving hazard. That is,unless of course, I stop every so often,get out of the car,and wipe the windows by hand. It just seems to me that the manufacturers are so concerned about their cost that the cost (not to mention the inconvenience) to the consumers is of no consequence to them.

Than I suggest that you stick to moderating and not spell checking. I came here due to concerns about my car,not my grammar.

There was a time when cars did not have rear window defoggers and no A/C. They drove around fine without calling it a safety hazard. That's not going to justify a safety recall.

Lets be realistic. You have a 10-year old car. The warranty was expired 6 years ago. How much longer can you reasonably expect it to continue to last without any issues? Yes, the radio issue is a common defect but nothing will be realistically done about it on a car so old.
