Default Speakers go out with rear defroster??

I know this will sound strange but I have noticed that every time I turn on my rear defroster, my front speakers will go out. From there, if i turn the radio off then turn it back on, there will be no sound at all. I have to literally turn off the car and turn it back on to get everything back to normal, but if I turn on the rear defroster again, the same thing will happen and it happens every single time. Any suggestions/comments?

That's what warranties are for. I'd bring back to the dealer.

One of your harness twines (probably for your speaker harness) probably is pinched and it is touching the vehicle ground.
