“The A/C switch that controls the rear fan speed on the front dash does not work. The internal plastic has broke and the nob just turns. The only way now to use the rear A/C is to stretch way back in the rear and turn it on. I went to test drive a newer QX56 and that nob was also broken. I test drove another one and the rear air was continuously running. I took my 2005 QX56 to an Infiniti dealer and they said the entire panel has to be replaced at $565.00 even though only one nob is broken. Please help.”
