Anemic washer jets??

[aft981]

Is it just my car, or does anyone else have problems with pathetically low pressured washer fluid dribbling out of the jets when you try to wash the front windscreen?

The reservoir isn't low, I topped it up, but it just spurts out and only just makes it to the windscreen. The left ones (drivers side) are worse. The ones on my prior Murano were fantastic, but I've never driven a car with such lame washer jets as the Ex.

Mine spray fine, it sounds like something is wrong with yours.

They sound like they have a weak stream.

The east coast is rather cold.

Is your vehicle kept in a garage? Are you letting the engine warm up for a bit before you are trying to wash the windshield?

You might have a small ice bubble in the line that has frozen. That would be my guess.

I have noticed the same problem and I am in a nice hot climate..

Mine work very well. My last vehicle was also a Murano and these washer jets are much better. They are ajustable with a needle. Just check that they aren't clogged up by some kind of wax from a car wash.

I agree with washer jet strength. Its pretty weak and feel I have to use more spray to clean the windshield because of that. In addition, I think the wiper quality isnt that great either, I get a lot of squeaks and choppy wipes many times. My last car was a Saab, and while the EX35 is definitely in a way higher class, the Saab got the wipers and washers right, as a a high pressure stream would come out from under the hood nozzles and the wipers were very strong and had great tension onto the windshield. Maybe its the Swedish/Nordic origins(although GM now). I could wash the windshield of the car behind me with the jet stream coming out of that Saab. However thats one of the few high points of that car, while the weak wiper stream in the EX is one of the few negatives of this car. Minor negative at that, but it is true.

My washer jets are very weak also. I've just been too busy to take it into the dealer, but soon!!

Of the people who've had this problem, have you taken your car into the dealer with this complaint? If so, what was the outcome?

Hi all! Just a week ago I had 1 driver side jet not spraying on my Murano. Placed key on ACC and press for spraying to test if motor is working. He was alive. So,even though I 'm using -40C fluid all year around, still added little bottle of gas antifreeze , for insurance. Either that or my strong words, it helped. Try to use same fluid all year around to avoid freeze-ups. Hope it helps.

Good thought, but since I'm Canadian, I use -40-degC fluid year-round. No sense trying to save a few bucks, while compromising safety.

Yeah, it's not the weather. I do keep mine in the garage (I actually made the effort to clear some junk out of there so I could squeeze the EX in), and for the last couple of days it's been in the low 50s here, but the jets are still only spitting out just enough to actually make it to the windscreen. I've actually noticed this over the summer and autumn too, I just never needed to use them as much as I have over the past few weeks. I should be taking it in for a service soon(ish), I'll pop it on my list.

I totally agree with you. EX35 washer jets like a joke. I haven't seen washer jets this lame. Old eastern block cars like Lada had these kind of lame washers. I haven't seen any modern car with washer jets like this. They are beyond any excuse; as an engineer I pity the Infiniti engineers who put those on a $45K car, it's a shame. They are like designed for a battery powered ride on vehicle for kids. My wife's 07 Toyota Sienna could be good example for Infiniti's retarded engineers to understand why they are called washer "jets".

Too bad you're holding back any strong feelings about this!!
