This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Chevrolet dealer.
This vehicle is equipped with an option that actually heats the windshield cleaning fluid, then the wipers turn on and the frost or ice is melted from the windshield. There is a light on the button that lights up when turned on. We are experiencing sporadic operation of this feature. At times the light does not illuminate when turned on, leaving you to think it's not operating, suddenly it's working (without the light). Then there are times when nothing happens after attempting to turn on, and still other times when it works properly. We have not had this problem repaired because it's difficult to schedule and it's a fairly minor problem We will definately have repaired before winter is over - and based on our history with this vehicle there will be other electrical problems needing attention. Just yesterday the cruise wouldn't set. Love driving the Tahoe, just getting fed up with all the warranty trips to the dealership!!!

They replaced the part under recall/warranty. Since then I haven't been able to use it. So I paid for something that has NEVER WORKED PROPERLY AND WILL NEVER WORK AGAIN. SERIOUSLY, this is what I get for spending a small fortune on a SUV?
Update from May 22, 2014: Chevy recently sent me a postcard saying it was recalled YET AGAIN. I thought this issue was fixed in 2010 but apparently they found a new remedy to fix it. "We will fix this by replacing the part" Afterwards I checked online to see what they did, and WOW! I find out that they just took the part out, they don't know how to fix it so they just remove it. I looked at my original paperwork when buying this truck and I paid a LOT for this, the truck was $55 pif@time of purchase and now I find out 6 yrs later that I paid for something they just took out, and that I've never been able to use, as the dealer in Ft Hood TX said "try not to use this unless it's absolutely necessary." Why doesn't CHEVY/GM Just ask the dealers what they have to fix and then send out the recalls? Wait, they get the list of complaints thru the dealer but they don't do anything....they just brush it under the rug and hope that we continue to buy their products. Since no one was killed it doesn't get fixed? Will I be getting a refund for the part they made that broke and never worked after fix, and than was removed? No I won't, thank you AGAIN GM!
