Consumer Description

DURING THE RECENT RASH OF SNOW STORMS TO HIT THE EASTERN MID-STATES I NOTICED THAT MY WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID NOZZLE FROZE UP. IT WORKED WHEN I LEFT HOME AND STOPPED WORKING ON RT 32, MD. I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID I USED. I HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME SEEING OUT OF MY FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE BACK NOZZLE DID NOT ICE-UP. I NOTICED THAT ALL THE OTHER CARS (EASILY 40-50 CARS) WINDOWS WERE CLEAR, EXCEPT ONE, ANOTHER PRIUS! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES RECENTLY AS WELL AS IN THE PAST. IF ASKED, I AM CERTAIN OTHER PRIUS USERS WOULD REPORT THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR IS AN '05. *TR
