That was such a stupid feature to add anyway, i'm not suprised they had a problem with it.

 

Heated washer fluid, well thats a hell of an idea. Is washer fluid flammable?

 

no

 

At what temp does washer fluid freeze?

Mine has never frozen and ive been in sub 20 degree weather.

 

it contains methanol.

........

 

it freezes reguarly, we have dozens of cars during the winter that it happens, and yes, washer fluid is flamable, but its needs a constant ignitor.

the only way we could make it ignite was to spary brake cleaner on it and light the brake clean.

 

It is here...and anywhere where it is also called w/s washer antifreeze

That being said, my 1989 BMW 535 has heated washer nozzles and they have never frozen up on me...nor have they caught fire

Prolly a good thing we don't have these on our 'Bolts

 

its more for the iced windows and driving in like a sleet storm and stuff like that... my moms volvo s80 t6 has it works awsome.. deff wouldnt added it as an option but its standard on the volvos

 

Thats exactly why they added it, also helps for removing bugs and ****. It heats it to about 150* before it washes the windshield if you have it active. Its mainly on the trucks with Rainsense auto wipers, so I doubt people would use it much, but I dunno, I don't have to worry about ice on my cars down here

 

What is up with GM and fires?!?

 

my dad has this in his new truck...

its really nice...takes ice right off the windsheild..

you know what else would take ice off the windshield..

the car starting on fire....YEAAAAA GM !!
