Got a record of what whey replaced this time?
It seems to be fine if it is parked on a flat surface. I ran the wipers and put it in the garage and no issue there, but expect it to work on a hill as well. It should be able to go down a hill without losing fluid.

Here is the latest repair. I believe this is an unfortunate design flaw and not bad parts. I believe my Ford technician are doing what they can. I am not sure they can modify the design to fix the issue (but I don’t know).

lol, they replaced basically everything except Washer Hose - Ford (M1PZ-17A605-D) it looks like, unless 605 is a sub code of one of those. I’m 99% certain that line where the problem is, and why a 2$ part fixed this in my write up

I whole heartedly believe that $2 part would do the trick (it is in my Amazon shopping list). I just need to not void my warranty since I have 2 years left. I may ask them about it. They keep telling what the problem is and I have no idea how they are coming up with the list of items they are repairing. I may have to remove the cover at the front to get a look at where you add the check valve before I start tinkering with it.

While I like the idea of a warranty, I do not like the idea of replacing perfectly functional parts.

Oh yea I’m with you! I just wish they would replace that damn hose so we could tell if it’s the problem, they already have the bumper off and it’s a like 30$ part

Final fix (cross your fingers). So far so good, tried it out and no leak so far.

Ford picked up my Bronco today and fixed it after I asked if there were technician notes on how to fix this problem. They got back to me and said their service technician got a fix from Ford. Here what was done this time. My car was returned with a broken grill. A nice slice straight through. Called immediately about this since I want to drive it without being blamed for the damage.

Part number would be nice but hey, it looks like they finally replaced the hose. Here’s hoping I was right and that’s the fix!
