The windshield wipers work but the washer does not squirt the windshield washing fluid out and it the reservoir is full of fluid but there are certain days in which I need that to work because my visibility is greatly reduced which has made the risk of accident that much greater. it says there is a recall pertaining to this problem and the fix was a relay However nothing comes up for my specific car when I enter the Vin but I would like this problem fixed and I-??m not sure how to go about

All of the windows have bubbles and ripples in the factory tint which causes poor visibility. The windows have to be rolled down to to see oncoming traffic. The ripples and bubbles are so bad that you can't see out of the rear view or side view mirrors which could easily cause an accident.

When driving any time the sun is out, reflections from the dash against the inside of the windshield are very pronounced and can significantly effect visibility. I have been driving for more than 50 years and I know all cars have the phenomenon on occasion. Unfortunately this Mazda 3 restricts vision as I have described every day the sun is out for 90% of the driving time. It is more than a distraction, I believe it is a hazard and accidents will occur because of it.
