Consumer Description

I HAVE WASHER FLUID FOR LOW TEMPS. THE WASHER LINES KEEP FREEZING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF WINDSHIELD. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS, ESPECIALLY IN NORTHEASTERN OHIO WEATHER. I CALLED KIA AND WAS TOLD BY KIA THAT THEY HAVE BEEN GETTING CALLS NONSTOP ABOUT IT AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. APPARENTLY THE WASHER LINES ARE NOT NEAR ENGINE BLOCK SO THERE IS NO WARMTH TO PREVENT THEM FROM FREEZING IN COLD TEMPS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR MODEL ASAP. *TR
