Low Washer Fluid!

[ChasingCoral]

But, do your washer fluid jets spray full blast for more than 5 seconds at a time, or do you need to stop spraying so they can recharge? Just curious ?

That's only a problem on GTs. It looks like the OP has a Rapid Red Select, so all should be good.

This raises a good question: someone with a GT needs to test to see if the washer squirts for more than 5 seconds in Unbridled Extended.

There's still an issue you're all missing. It's not mentioned in the owner's manual either and really should be. If the washer fluid is low, so is the Blinker Fluid. Fill them both up. Safety is always the forum's top priority. You're welcome.

ID-10T use only! ? ? ? ? ?

Just add a set of rain gutters along the roof edges with collection hoses so the rain water feeds into the washer fluid reservoir by itself. ?

Red Green fan?

I do appreciate a whole gallon fits in the container. Reduces the clutter in my garage. Small step in the right direction for me.

7000 miles here and I've been low twice. The dealer filled it for free for me when I went for an update and a separate time again when I was in for a tire rotation and another update. Not any different from my ICE cars.

That, or a Layer 8 issue

You’re right. That’s dreadful. For$60k the car should come loaded with a lifetime supply of washer fluid. Time to get rid of the car.

Once the washer fluid runs out, you can call roadside assistance. Within 5 hours they will deliver a squeegee man to smear dirt all over your windshield. ?

Motion sensitive sensor ?. You mean to tell me they didn’t instal a baffle in the reservoir???

5 hours? The maintenance plan I was upsold on said 2 business days. I got ripped off!

2 days is only when you're stuck blocking traffic on a freeway. 5 hours is when you're in a parking lot or at home.

My issue is the washer fluid smell in the car everytime I clean my windshield. Never had that happen in any car I've owned before.

Happens with my Fusion Energi. In the summer, it's an easy fix to have the HVAC on recirculate but, in the winter, recirculate fogs up the windows quickly, so the use of the washers is minimal.

I really hope you still think it’s a joke (it is).

ID-10T (idiot) use only

It is. A Joke. You can actually buy that container on Amazon. It's empty. because it's a joke. Please don't buy it. Unless you're doing it as a joke. Then it's ok.

I’ve heard when the temperature drops your washer fluid capacity decreases as well - so that may have som bearing on why it was low.
