Wiper problem #1

Windshield washer system only sprays the very bottom of windshield and cleans the bottom of the windshield completely smearing the remaining portion making it difficult if not impossible to drive and see the road and objects causing a significant safety issue for occupants of this vehicle as well as the traveling public. I found this defect while traveling at highway speeds. I attempted to increase speed to no avail. Ive made several inquiries to the dealership and to corporate with no resolution or suggestions. The dealership did bring a same type vehicle, year and model, and placed it along side my vehicle and the windshield washer system operate identical to mine. This defect was reported to the dealership shortly after I purchased. All documentation is in dealer and corporate computors.

Sun/moon Roof Assembly problem #2

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph, there was a loud booming sound coming from the vehicle, and the sunroof glass exploded. During the failure, the sunroof cover was closed. Upon inspection, the contact discovered shards of glass inside the sunroof location. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 202,000.
