All the buzzers and bells, but......

Quite a surprise, all the warning stuff in my SS, but nothing to tell you that your windshield wiper fluid is low or out.. Found out the hard way I had no more fluid.

In over 3 years I think that's the only thing I've never used on my Camaro.

Yeah, I kind of figured there would be a low fluid message. Just looked in the owners manual. No message for that. My 2000 silverado does. Well, you just can't have everything I guess.

with all the dust and dirt that settles on my windshield from the wind and oklahoma red clay... I use my windshield wiping fluid a lot. Then again, I don't have a garage to store it in either.

Weird... hopefully when I get a Camaro it'll be minimal rain driving... also I'd just keep the windshield clean - I know it's not always that easy though lol

You've got a 2012 and you're out of fluid already. Are you driving that thing through tar pits or what? I've never used it on my '11.

Mine is a garage queen and I use it a lot. Haven't ran out yet though.

It's funny though my Pontiac G6 has a low wiper fluid warning and the Camaro doesn't.

In '86, Firebirds with digidash had a low fluid warning. I'm pretty surprised the Camaro doesn't.

I top mine off whenever I check the oil. Never ran out yet...

I use my wipers all the time. I drive mine too though, like really drive it.

I never thought about having a sensor for that, mainly because my last vehicles never had it I guess.

Yes, just realized it about 2 weeks ago on mine - nothing, just was pulling it toward me - bone dry! I have always had sensors - I've owned VWs before, and one Sebring convertible...
