Question Windshleild Wiper Fluid Question...

okay, so a couple weeks ago i noticed that when i used my rear windsheild wiper fluid, not only would it squirt out the back (which it is supposed to) but it also splurts a little out of the front one at the same time (it shoots out like one of those tiny squirt guns kids can win at Chucky Cheese). My dealer thought it was a broken valve, but after replacing it, the wiper fluid began having the same problem again. They concluded that this is just a querk to my particular type of vehicle (because some of the other jk's on their lot acted the same way).

Does anyone else have this issue - is this really a quality of the 2008 jeep wrangler?

I've never seen mine do that. My dealer tried to convince me that every JK had a
click, about as loud as a turn signal click, whenever the brake was stepped on. I
raised the BS flag and got them to fix it.

Mine does that - just barely spurts a wee bit up front when the rear is engaged. Started about 8 months into ownership.

In the grand scheme of things pretty minor.

2009 Rubi Unlimited, 21000km, does the same thing when using the rear window washer, squirts a little out on the front windshield. Must be a check valve issue.
