When I stop....washer fluid squirts out

When I apply the brakes washer fluid will either dribble out of the nozzle or shoot out onto the windshield depending on how hard I brake. Anyone have any idea as to why that is or what I can do?

I have an issue with my washer too....... When i apply them and then let off , I get a slow steam and my hood then is filled with washer fluid.

I had Mits change out the sprayers,,,,,,, they then gave me my car back and said all done.

I squirted the washers,,,,,,, same damn thing,, leaky short stream when I let off the washers,,,,,,, They then said well it has to travel from the trunk,,,,,,, and I was like ya,,,,,,, but it shouldnt leave washer fluid all over my hood and pool up by the vent.

He was just stuptifyied,,,,, I then left.

I wonder if its a bad pump or somthing.

Having a white car with blue all over the hood really sucks!!!!!

I took it to the dealer but they said that they couldn't duplicate it, it was raining out. It sucks because every time I wash my car within minutes of driving it my hood has fluid all over it. It's only on the driver side though.

That sounds like the story of the civic and his friends hooked his brakes up to his horn so whenever he hit the brake his horn went off lol.

Maybe someone at mitsu thought it was funny to route plumbing from you bpv to the windshield resevoir.

it's like that episode of Pimp my ride. The legend.

The dude turns on his turn signal and his windshield wipers starts to go.

There's usually some sort of backflow valve which stops the washers from dribbling, maybe its that?

Sounds like a personal problem

I don't have that problem on my EVO but I do have it on my truck. Can't figure out the problem. I'll just be driving a long and without any warning the window washer fluid will start squirting all over my windshield. Let me tell you the first time it happened I nearly ran off the road it surprised me that bad. Now my friends just get a kick out of it everytime it happens.
