THE 2019 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN IS EQUIPPED WITH A WIPER FOR THE REAR WINDOW. ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS GONE THROUGH A CAR WASH OR AFTER STARTING FOLLOWING A DRENCHING RAIN, THE REAR WIPER WILL NOT WORK EVEN THOUGH IT IS SWITCH ON WITH THE SWITCH ON THE TURN SIGNAL STALK. IF THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED, THE WIPER WILL THEN WORK AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. LIKEWISE, IF THE WIPER DOES NOT WORK AND YOU WAIT A FEW MINUTES, IT WILL WORK AS IT NORMALLY SHOULD.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Chevrolet Suburban verdict →
