Went in for my 10K service and mentioned that the only problem was that the washer fluid had recently stopped coming out.
I assumed the nozzles had gotten plugged.
Turns out they got plugged and then the pump pressure blew the hose off. I had been jizzing fluid all over the engine compartment.
To clear the back nozzle they had to take the hatch apart. Turned into a two hour oil change.
All warranty work so perhaps they just wanted something to do.
Anyway the moral is to run the fluid every once in awhile so they never get plugged up with grit. And if it stops, check it out.
