Urgency:Safe to keep driving
Is it safe to keep driving?
Yes. It only becomes a safety issue when you need to clear the windshield and cannot.
Likely causes
- Washer fluid used up
- Reservoir leak
- Faulty level sensor
Typical repair cost (US)
$3 – $8
A gallon of washer fluid.
A typical range, not a quote. Actual cost depends on the car, the shop and the fault.
What to do now
- Top up with washer fluid — in cold climates, use a winter blend that will not freeze.
