"Washer fluid level low" indicator came on and off randomly

[mata]

2.0 eco boost lariat tirm. The low washer fluid level indicator just came on and off randomly while I was driving. Sometimes it also sends an alert to the ford app. I refilled the reservoir and it was nearly full. It looks like a faulty sensor or software issue. Does anyone have a similar issue?

Funny ya mention it just started on mine 3 days ago, but I haven’t checked the level yet I forget to stop and buy some washer fluid.

Good morning! Can you send us a private message with your VIN and Ford dealer info? I can take a look into your sensor concern on my end.

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me?

Is that wrong that Ford quickly responded and is proactive in looking into the concern?

Literally had the same thing happen to me yesterday... Came on and then stopped appearing after I turned the car off and back on again.

Mine did that this last weekend too. Hybrid Lariat. It was the first and only time. I figured maybe a sensor somewhere got out of whack since I'd just driven up a mountain.

Just happened to me last night.

I got this warning recently when the truck was stopped facing downhill. Once it was on a level surface it went away after a few minutes but I never got a FordPass notification.

Happened a few days in a row at the same location so I finally got more fluid to put in. Turns out it was practically empty even though I rarely used the washer fluid. Seems like Ford barely filled the tank originally as it took close to an entire gallon until it topped off.

Doesn’t seem to be OP’s issue though if it keeps coming back after topping off. I’d take it to the dealer and have them check it out.

I have the exact same situation. I can understand the level sensor might be triggered on a slope. It should not happen after topping off the reservoir.

IM the ford guy above and call your dealer. Could be something really simple like a loose connector.

I had the same thing occur this week. Checked fluid, levels were fine, error never came back.

Mine did it once 1st or 2nd day. Put about a liter of fluid in, hasn't done it since

Same random error msg. About 5X since January. In record Drought for months so don’t recall even using the wipers til trip to dealership for dead 12v battery issues was first rain in June.
