Consumer Description

CAR IS GARAGED (UNHEATED). THIS AM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID WOULD NOT SPRAY EVEN THOUGH I HEARD THE SPRAY MOTOR RUNNING. I TRIED THE SPRAY IN MY WIFE'S 2017 ACCORD AND THE SPRAY WORKED. IN MY 60 YEARS OF DRIVING WITH MANY DIFFERENT CARS, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND WE HAVE HAD PLENTY OF FREEZING DAYS OVER THE YEARS. THE SPRAY LINES MUST BE IN AN EXPOSED POSITION AND THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WITH CARS AHEAD OF YOU ON THE ROAD THROWING UP SNOW, SALT, ETC. ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND YOU CANNOT CLEAN IT, THE VISIBILITY WILL BE OBSCURED. IF THIS IS NOT CORRECTED, THOSE WITH CRV'S WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO DRIVE ON SNOWY DAYS.
