I purchased a 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid truck on [XXX] and have discovered a safety issue. When I operate the windshield washer, the washer fluid tank fully drains in about ten seconds. I can visually see the fluid level fall rapidly. Washer fluid sprays at a high velocity on my windshield until the tank is empty. There is no evidence of a fluid leak. Last week, I took the truck to a local Ford dealer. They were the ones who discovered the rapidly draining tank and they escorted me from the lounge area to the shop and showed it to me. Both the service writer and three mechanics standing at my truck stated that they had never seen anything like that occur before. The service writer brought over the service manager, who took a look and suggested that perhaps there was a problem with the nozzles. He also stated that he had never seen this issue before. The dealership ordered new nozzles. I returned to the dealership this afternoon to have the replacement nozzles installed. When the function of the windshield washer was tested, the bottle again drained in about ten seconds. One of the technicians then tested a new Ford F150 that is in the shop today and it also drained rapidly. I asked that a new Maverick on the lot be tested, which the dealership immediately did, and it also drained in about ten seconds. Evidently, Ford has an issue with this function on some of their new vehicles. Windshield washing is an important safety feature and it is not functioning as it should on these three tested vehicles. This problem was observed and verified as never having been seen before by a Ford service writer, three Ford mechanics, and a Ford service manager. The selling Ford dealer is Crossroads Ford of Wake Forest, NC and the servicing dealer is Deacon Jones Ford of Goldsboro, NC.
