I've had an issue since I got my truck in March. About a month or so after I got the truck, I got the low washer fluid warning. I thought that maybe the dealer forget to top it off when they gave it to me. It wasn't until June that I got around to filling it up. Next month, got the warning and sure enough it was empty again. I only use it maybe once a week so there is no reason for it to be empty in a month.

I'm due for my first oil change so I'm going to have the dealer take a look at it and see.

I've had my Maverick 10 days and I got the indicator warning today. I only used the washer once. I added about half gallon of fluid. (All I had in my garage). I'll fill it mañana. Mmmmm?

This happened to me today on a straight level road. I've had my truck 7 weeks. I had used the washer fluid earlier in the day, because while running the wipers in the rain it appears the passenger windshield is etching/scratching the windshield where it stops on the driver side. I have not had the opportunity to check the WWF level yet, but when I went on a quick errand several hours later the Low Washer Fluid light wasn't on anymore. No notification was triggered on my FordPass app either.

The low washer fluid light comes on randomly when its first started and remains on for the drive and then won’t come on again for another random 15-20 +/- starts.

Is this low enough to trigger the low fluid light? This is how it came from the dealer. I’ve been meaning to get some more fluid to fill it but I never use them so the only time I think about it when the light comes on. Steep inclines/declines don’t seem to have any effect on the light coming on/off.

This happens to me too. So far the only issue with the vehicle. I'll take it.

I've had my brand new Lariat Tremor for 7 days, and the "low washer fluid" light has been on for the last 3 of those days. Popped the hood today and it looks full to me, so I'm not exactly sure what the issue is.

Guess this issue is happening to others and not me, I would say that I'll bring it up during my next oil change but I do that myself, I suppose I can just wait to see if @Ford Motor Company comes out with an official statement.

I would like to see something done about this, @Ford Motor Company - how about an option to just turn off the warning? Or display it once per drive and be done with it. I have had it come on and off dozens of times while driving over the past few days.

Come to think of it, I haven't even checked to see if the fluid is low, but that's beside the point. haha

Happened to me the first day I took possession of my vehicle. Had dealer top off reservoir. Happened again a few days later, but has since been fine. Weird.

My 24 Eco boost Lariat has been doing this since I got it a few months ago. I've only used the fluid a few times.

Simple fix. The dealer replaced the pump. No more warnings.

Hi there! I can look into your Maverick's error message concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Maverick's VIN?
