Since we're complaining about wipers, I've never seen such a honkin' big warning right in the middle of the instrument cluster for running low on washer fluid! Then when you clear it off the dash, you get a warning on the infotainment system with a button to call the dealership. Really?? I stopped at the first place that had washer fluid and filled it up just to make it stop LOL
The fluid for the driver's side does not spray out until the wiper is all the way to the left making that spray ineffective. And I agree, the fluid splash left on the passenger side is very annoying.
I thought I was the only one this bothered. Yes, the cleaning performance is worse than the previous model. In the right third, there’s always a stain/streak about 20 cm long. The windshield is never completely clean. Also, all the dirt gets pushed onto the driver’s side window and runs down the entire window. In winter, I can’t even see the rearview mirror anymore because of all the smearing.
And if anyone else has noticed: the automatic detection doesn’t work properly either, even on the most sensitive setting. I can barely see through the windshield because of dirt and water, yet my RX500h doesn’t start wiping. Very frustrating
