The ford dealerships in Cullman and Decatur were unable to resolve my software recall and rear camera issue. They attempted 4 times

My screen suddenly went black and now I have no back-up camera. My VIN is not associated with the recent camera recall, but it probably should be. This car has been reprogrammed several times for various different recalls (6).

Vehicle completely died in the middle of operation. All lights came on and then the vehicle completely shut off. Reverse camera comes on and stays on while driving forward from time to time. I have this on video as well.

Since performing a manufacturer update to the Sync technology system, my touch screen has not functioned properly, including the back up camera. The screen goes black or freezes on the rear view camera even when in drive and moving forward. Each time this happens, the system has to be rebooted.

Around 08/22 backup camera failed and now there is a dent in the tailgate area. I have documentation from the dealership, finally that the backup camera was not working properly. On about May 23, 2023, I stopped at a local grocery store for just a few items. When I came back out my car would not even attempt to turn over (approx. 24,000 miles). Had to wait three hours for roadside assistance to use a jump box to get it started (would not jump-start like a normal vehicle). The next morning it was dead again, and I had to call an Uber to get my child to school, not acceptable. I took it to the dealership again, and after three days they replaced the battery.....I had not even owned the vehicle for two years, it had 6 miles on it when I bought it, and it needs a new battery? Now it is 09/22/23, the dealership has had my car since the morning of 09/13/23 and I still don't have it back. There are issues with the safety features (lane departure doesn't work, front crash assist goes off randomly, backup camera STILL doesn't work half of the time, keep hands on steering wheel alert when both hands are on steering wheel, key not detected alert after I've been driving and the key is with me, stereo still playing when I disconnect the phone and exit out of all music apps on phone it just still plays music even music that I have never listened to). There is more but I cannot remember it all at the moment, and I don't have all of my records because they are with my car that I have not had in my possession in quite a while. DON'T BUY A BRONCO! BUY A JEEP!!!! That is what I have learned from this, my first and only Ford and I can't wait to go back to Mopar products. I have truly bought a lemon!
