Dodge Journey screen failure problems

Filed Aug 16, 2026 · PA

The factory-installed ParkView rear backup camera on my 2018 Dodge Journey is suffering from an intermittent, severe component failure. The video display randomly flips completely upside down while reversing. Frequently, the system fails entirely, leaving a completely blank or black screen on the center infotainment console.

My rear view camera shows a black screen when the vehicle is put in reverse. It is not a fuse problem. That has been checked. I have resorted to “the old fashioned way” of looking behind either side when backing up. It’s just terrifying because you can’t see all that the rear view camera shows and since it’s not working I don’t get the noise alerts when getting close to something

The review camera stopped working in the early Summer 2026. Sporadically, the image would display and then cut out to a blank/black screen. The warning beeps also we're not working all the time. No warning messages displayed. Eventually it almost entirely stopped working! A rear view image that is blank or black reduces the driver's view of what's behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. After receiving notice from family who own a 2019 of a safety recall for this exact issue, we took our vehicle to be inspected at the local Dodge dealership in August. The dealership inspected the vehicle confirming the internal failure of the review camera. Although our 2015 was not part of the safety recall, we felt it was necessary to have the part replaced immediately. I had to pay for the repair since I did not have a recall letter from Dodge for my specific VIN. I called and confirmed with Dodge that our vehicle the 2015 was not part of the series 59 recall. Dodge informed me that there's another recall series 60 in process, but could not verify if my vehicle was part of that recall. They said I could contact the national highway safety agency to report the issue.

I recently received a safety recall in the mail from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles stating that the rearview camera in my vehicle, a 2019 Dodge Journey Crossroad, needed to be replaced, as they were found to be defective and in violation of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. I scheduled an appointment at my local Dodge dealer, Dayton Andrews Dodge, on Friday 07/31 for 0745 on 08/03 for this replacement. After dropping off my vehicle at the appointed date and time and being brought back to my house by their "shuttle," a consumer grade minivan which I shared with four other passengers, I received a call at approximately 12:30 pm, where I was told they had "evaluated" my vehicle to determine whether or not I needed to have my backup camera replaced, determined that it needed replacement, and that they would need to order the backup camera and related parts which would arrive in a few days, at which time I could bring my car in again to actually have it installed. This made no sense, since this was a MANDATORY safety recall, and not replacing the backup camera was never an option for them, yet they booked my appointment knowing they did not have the part in stock. I was never once told that this appointment would be anything but getting the backup camera replaced, and if its efficacy was in question, they could have easily asked me on the phone if it was working properly (it has not functioned properly for years), or looked at the blank screen while the vehicle was in reverse upon my arrival at the dealership, then sent me on my way. Instead, I was duped into wasting an entire day of my life for my vehicle to receive an "evaluation," which I was never once informed of nor gave consent to, but through which they had determined that my vehicle required a fluids flushing and spark plug replacement for approximately $1100. This is obviously fraud being perpetrated to get people to purchase unnecessary, overpriced repairs.
