Consumer Description

DURING FIRST WEEK IN MARCH 2020, LOW WINDSHIELD FLUID LIGHT CAME ON, TRIED TO REFILL BUT WILL NOT HOLD FLUID LEAKS ON GROUND. CAR ONLY HAS 56000 MILES, WITHOUT THIS IT MAKES MORE DIFFICULTE TO SEE OUT. THIS UNIT TAKES UP TO 3.5 HOURS TO REPLACE. IT MAY NOT BE VERY CRITICAL TO SAFETY BUT I DON'T EXPECT MANY TO BE REPLACED AT THIS PRICE.
