FRONT WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLE FAILURE, BOTH (LEFT AND RIGHT). 1ST EVENT NOTED IN 2009 WHEN VEHICLE HAD 32000 MILES, THIS IS THE 2ND EVENT. NOZZLES STOP SPRAYING WASHING FLUID EFFECTIVELY, PREVENTING DRIVER FROM CLEANING THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IN HIGH DEBRIS CONDITIONS, REDUCING VISIBILITY AND POSING A DRIVING HAZARD SPECIALLY IN HIGH DEBRIS / INSECT AREAS IN NON-OPTIMAL LIGHTING CONDITIONS SUCH AS NIGHTTIME DRIVING OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ALIGNED TOWARDS THE SUN OR OTHER LIGHT SOURCE. PREVIOUS EVENT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE NOZZLES, IT IS NOT CAUSED BY OBSTRUCTION AS PLENTY OF FLUID STILL FLOWS OUT OF THE NOZZLE (JUST NOT IN THE NECESSARY PATTERN). *TR

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY. TWO MONTHS AGO AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK THE GAUGE INDICATED NO FUEL, AND THEN IT WOULD FLUCTUATE, FROM FULL TO EMPTY. NOW IT IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE.
