2019 Ford Edge: backup camera failure

Filed Jun 5, 2026 · Electrical · MO

Computer screen does not work all the time, and the backup camera does not work, and when it does, it will stay on while moving forward. The computer screen freezes up and will not allow me to adjust the temperature or the radio and other options that are normally on the screen.

The transmission/torque converter completely failed after being maintained while driving on the highway without any warning. The transmission began jerking and bucking, almost sending me into the oncoming lane while driving. Coupled with the lane departure avoidance system automatically turning my wheel, the vehicle became uncontrollable. Even though i removed my foot from the gas an tried braking, the transmission would not disengage for a few seconds causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle. Then the transmission just gave out and I was unable to pull off some where safe without issue. There were no warnings on the vehicle, no lights, nothing signaled an issue until after i was able to get the car to stop at the side of the road. The vehicle had to be towed due to not being able to drive at all. It has been inspected and I have been told the transmission just completely went out, possibly due to a leak in the linkage I was not aware of, and was not caught during my last inspection/ fluid change. Multiple items failed on the vehicle including the recently recalled back up camera/sensor issue that I was never advised about by the manufacturer.

Back up camera often gets stuck on and will show what is behind you while driving forward. Or the screen will be blue and not show anything in forward or reverse. It has happened approximately 35 times since purchasing it in March 2025.

The car's back up camera fails (no picture, only snow) when below 40 degrees or above 90 degrees. This has been occurring for years. There is a recall for 2021 Ford Edges for back up camera failures - it should be extended to 2019 or earlier.

Infotainment system blacked out while driving and then began showing rear camera intermittently while driving. SB issued suggests this issue requires AIN software update. Dealer says SYNC module, TCU and rear camera need to be replaced. Seems to be discrepancy in whether or not this is a covered recall. Please advise.

The start/stop technology works from time to time. Example. At a complete stop icon appears and show’s technology off- the device is NOT off. At times the technology will engage at a complete stop then suddenly turns off with in seconds. At times when this device is on one can hear a rattling noise. When leaving from a complete stop and applying the gas petal lightly the vehicle jumps/hop roughly 6” to 1’ without adding additional pressure to the gas petal. When using the advanced cruise control with NO vehicle in front of mine and have set the mileage which can been seen on the control panel the vehicle will keep the mileage speed for 3-6 seconds then decrease in speed up to 10-12 miles. If applying the brake when using cruise control and re-engage the speed (res button) the vehicle speeds up continuously at a very fast unsafe pace. The advance lane shift will warn me (turn red based on which lane it thinks I have crossed) I have steered out of my lane (low setting) but haven’t cross any lanes. Will use turn signals to change lane and lane shift turns red again to inform me I have steered out of my lane. This should not happen. Back up camera at times screen is black. Rear sensors when backing up even with large objects (persons- adult, another vehicle, garbage truck) will not notify me of objects. Now I can see the objects and don’t proceed but the sensors don’t go off and there are four. Brought vehicle to Akins ford in ga. Went for observation ride. The foreman noticed many issues including cruise control, after braking- suv leaping, sensors, backup camera. but felt there were no safety issues.

This incident is related to the rear view camera and the sync/radio interface in my vehicle. The recent recall for ford explorers in relation to the rear cameras are also present in the ford edge. In addition to these issues, when I am driving my rear view camera will turn on while driving. This has occurred on the freeway and has impacted how my car reacts to collision assists, lane keeping/departure functions. I have taken my car to ford and they have neglected the issue and said there is nothing they can do. I have left voicemails to get my car looked at again and reported to ford but seeing the recall headlines today about ford suvs I wanted to report that this is also happening yo ford edges and has caused issues for me. I believe this to be a glitch in the sync software. This has been an ongoing issue but has most recently occurred to me yesterday. I have video of this behavior as well but included a photo - you can see the car is in drive and the rear view camera is active.
