To those in colder areas, have you ever had issues with the windshield washer not working? Im guessing the heated nozzles weren't warming up, so I took it to the dealer, they say the washer fluid freezes at 0°C, which doesn't really add up for me. Anyone else had similar problems in cold weather?
Washer nozzles freezing?

They probably topped it off with the wrong crap and winter fluid is rated way below that. Heated nozzles won't help if the fluid in the lines or reservoir is frozen solid so my best guess is for you to flush it and refill with proper winter rated stuff.

Bro, let me tell you that fluid type is the KEY, it's almost always the number one reason. If you're using anything labeled "all-season" or if it's a cheap blue jug, it probably only protects down to 23-14°F. For real cold, you need true winter washer fluid, rated for -30-22°F or even -40°F. btw, your dealer's comment makes me wonder if they checked what's actually in your reservoir
