Backup camera failure by model year
What owners say
Back up camera intermittently does not work. When it does work it intermittently flips the photo. Objects that are on the right side appear on the left side.
Back up camera and warning stop not working while backing up. Most F150 pick ups are in the recall but mine is not for some reason even though it fails almost every time I back up. There is many children using the side walks in my neighbor hood creating a serious situation.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while reversing, the rearview camera image was blank, distorted, or flipped to the opposite side. The driver was concerned about crashing. The contact shifted to park and back to reverse several times, but the camera was still inoperable. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was contacted and informed the contact to purchase a new camera. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
Our 2014 Ford F150 is doing the same back-up camera distortions as the current recall and the Ford dealer says it's our problem. The back-up camera on lots of other Ford models need to be recalled.
Backup camera started out intermittent loss of image some times distorted now no image. Filed a complaint with Ford Motor. Case number is: [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Our truck also has a blank or distorted screen when using the rear backup camera. It happens quite often.
Rear backup camera shows a blank screen intermittently / unpredictably. The dealership was unable to replicate it (because it occurs intermittently) while in for another repair so no repair attempt was made. It makes backing out of parking spaces safely difficult. It's been like this for about 5 years. I can make it available for inspection.
Rear view camera inverts the image on screen when the camera is on. No warnings.
Backup camera only works intermittently. Most of the time the display just says "rear camera unavailable," sometimes just a blue screen, and occasionally will display the image briefly, then go bluescreen/camera unavailable. Turning ignition off, then restarting may reset camera and briefly display the image, then bluescreen/unavailable again.
We are the original vehicle owners. The backup camera was replaced at a Ford Dealership on 3/26/20 because the screens were showing blank images and sometimes distorted images. at that time the mileage was 82564. Now the backup camera is doing the exact same thing, and the mileage is 144236. This is a safety issue backing up and can cause an accident. There have been recalls on most models but 2014 was not included. Ford has stated that the recalls are tied to the VIN., thus even though we paid Ford and replaced the camera in 2020, the camera is not covered although it is the same parts of model year VINS that were recalled. The 2014 should have been included in the recalls, as well as specific part recalls.
We replaced the back up camera on 3/26/20. It was showing blank images and sometimes distorted images. Now the vehicle has 144,236 miles and the same issue is occurring. There are numerous year model recalls for this exact issue, yet the 2014 was not included. This will be the third back up camera. This is dangerous and should be recalled.
