Consumer Description

WINDSHIELD WASHER UNIT DOES NOT WORK WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 38 DEGREES. IT APPEARS TO BE A VEHICLE FEATURE AS OPPOSED TO JUST A FROZEN WASHER UNIT AS I HAVE TESTED IT MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS CAUSES MAJOR PROBLEMS WHEN DRIVING IN SNOW OR SALTED ROADS AS VISIBILITY IS ALMOST ZERO. *AK
