Wiper Problems
#16
Speaking of wipers does anyone else suffer from "the case of the disapearing wiper fluid"? It was discussed on FJ years ago but never resolved to the best of my knowledge????????

In winter I can use a full resevoir in one trip Toronto ----> Hamilton yet in any other car I can do the same trip for days and days? In the case of other cars the resevoirs have in general been smaller than the Focus one which takes (to the best of my knowledge) almost 5 litres.

There is a leak somewhere but it is one of these vauge/hard to diagnose/pinpoint problems you hate to go to a dealer without insider info like a TSB. Any help out there?

While on the subject of wipers, another pet peeve; "the drip". Why after every sweep is there a dribble right down the centre of the windshield? Again a minor thing but an annoyance I haven't had with other cars.

Finally, most of you are getting warranty service no question asked for any model year because of the "once bitten twice burned" rule. There was a recall of MY 2000 cars because the motors was a fire risk. Now any mention of Focus wipers evokes panic and any and all repairs are done without question.
