The washer fluid does not squirt onto the window. At best, the fluid sometimes dribbles out and hits the lowest part of the window, but only after holding the washer fluid button for up to 30 seconds. The dealership told me that the line was probably frozen and there was nothing they could do. They recommended i check the fluid line for blockage or heat it up with a hair dryer.

A crack appeared in my windshield. It looks to have originated from the base of the windshield and nothing has damaged my windshield prior. It looks like it's cracking from the inside of the glass.

The same thing happened to my friends 2007 hyundai sante fe a while after she bought it last year. *tr
