I know other people have posted about a washer fluid leak from the front camera, but I have a leak on the passenger side around the front door area. It is dripping out if the body/frame. Gonna have to take it in.

Either the washer fluid reservoir or the rubber hose going to the back window. Consider yourself in luck the leak is outside. I believe the hose enters the cab around the firewall and travels behind the headliner to the rear.

we are having this same issue. same side around the back door passenger side. once the spray is used (front or back), it creates suction and will drain the reservoir. we do not have any water in the cabin

did they cover it? where does the hose run? i would try to fix it or advise a local mechanic to do it for us vs. the dealer cost.

any insight is appreciated!

Had the same issue with a 2019 Platinum. Was a connection at the firewall, covered by warranty.

We have this same issue. Our problem is that the corrugated tube running from the reservoir to the rear washer nozzle has cracked and is leaking out all the fluid in the reservoir. Dealership wants $1500 to fix it even though we have a premium extended factory warranty. Glad to hear this was covered under the regular warranty, hopefully they will wise up.

Some people have issues in all cars when they do not put in -32 fluid when it gets cold. Cracks all the lines and parts.

In Maricopa AZ they are not allowed to sell it due to environmental issues. And its never an issue local. But lots of folks head to Flagstaff and it gets below freezing and then they experience leaks later without knowing where they came from.
