2016 Ford F-150 driver assistance problems

Filed Jun 26, 2026 · Driver assistance · KS

Our rear view (back up) camera on our 2016 Ford F-150 is not working properly. It gives a distorted image or not image at all or sometimes works. Our truck only has approximately 60,000 and this should not be happening. This is available upon inspection. Matter of fact, Mel Hambelton Ford dealership inspected it and told us "I'm sorry; there is no recall on your VIN #". I do not know how there isn't! My safety concern is that this can work when reverse and go out at any moment and potentially cause a crash. Not to mention, we bought this truck brand new and expect items to last as we take care of our stuff. This has been going on for at least the last 6 months and as I google and do my own review we are NOT the only people having this problem with our rear view cameras on our 2016 Ford F-150. We need a recall. We have a recall on our 2016 Ford Flex rear view camera and that is working just fine. We had no warning lights or messages in our F-150 it just started acting up one day and not working

Uncommand downshift of the transmission at 50MPH causing the rear wheels to skid. This was accompanied by “Blind Spot System Fault”, “Cross Traffic System Fault”, “See Manual” warnings and a loss of transmission position indications (ie.. P-R-N-D-M-2-1). This appears to be similar to the federal safety agency Recal # 24S37 for 2014 F-150’s

I took my 2016 Ford F-150 Lariat in for repairs. I was getting a dash light on Blind Spot Warning and Cross Traffic Warning. My service advisor called and told me I needed a battery junction box but that part was no longer available and that my truck will begin to break down. It only has 46,611 miles and otherwise in excellent condition. I can't believe Ford does not have access the this part to fix my truck. Any suggestions?
