A/C causing vibration

I have this problem when my A/C is on. When I turn the A/C on my G starts to vibrate. It starts to vibrate even more when the fan kicks on. Its annoying me very much.The dealer says its a worn out bearing in the A/C compressor but not too sure though. What should I do? My service advisor won't honor my warranty and claims that it wears out so its considered normal wear and tear. What should I do? My car has 9,751 miles it shouldn't wear out that fast should it? And I'm suppose to get my sound deadening done so I got a lot on my plate atm.

AC is not a wearable item. That's bs. You should find a better dealer.

That's odd, never knew worn out bearings fall under the wearables

Ya that just sounds like another idiot who doesnt know what he's doing. Normal wear and tear shouldnt include anything having to do with the AC, especially at your low mileage.

And, it is likely the balancer on the compressor not the bearing. This may be as easy as a loose bolt.

Jesus, some of these Infiniti dealers are worse than my old GM service reps.

TOTAL BS! If the warranty does not cover that, what the hell does it cover?

I have a similar issue. When I turn on the AC I can hear the compressor spin up and the fan gets kinda noisy but the car doesn't vibrate. I wonder if this is the same thing?
