| Description of the problem | When the temperature is below 30 degrees, the windshield wiper fluid does not discharge to clean the windshield. The dealer says that this will happen because the windshield wiper fluid resorvior is close to the bumpber and therefore it freezes. Driving in snow condition is extremely hazardous as you can not clean the muddy windshield. It's matter of time when humans will start to get hurt due to this flaw. Honda needs to own the issue and come up with solution. The wiper fluid will start to work after at least 1/2 hour of driving. The only explanation i got from the dealer that this issue is resolved once the engine warms up, which is not a fact as in my experience the vehicle needs to on for 1/2 hr or more. |
