Rear View camera image is upside down / distorted. Looks to be acknowledged by Ford and the federal safety agency as a recall yet Ford Dealers are making me pay to have it fixed.

What 2019 Ford Flex owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Back up camera is inverted. Its been 8 months sinse recall. Nothing from Ford. 2 Computer screen will not update,
My vehicle keeps stalling while driving down the road. The vehicle suddenly loses power and stops on the roadway. No indicator lights come on and after several times pushing the push ignition button the car will start. This has happened on several occasions.
Along with problems from the current recalls (that still don't have remedies), our 2019 Ford Flex also has a faulty gas gauge. Not sure what component it would be considered, but even when we fill the tank up with gas, it doesn't register properly how much gas we have in the tank. It shouldn't be a guessing game as to how much gas is in the vehicle. I used to love Fords, but the combination of safety issues is concerning.
I have recieved the notice from the manufacturer as expected. I have been notified by my local dealership of the recall. I have attempted several times since notification to have it corrected. I have been told on every occasion the parts were not available. Yet, a bit of searching on Ford's own parts website, I can order the part and have it delivered by Feb 26. At every service visit, the dealership has kindly reminded me of the needed recalls. I question, no parts? Is ford just thinking I will get tired and just stop. No parts in stock should mean, NONE in Ford's entire inventory. The part in question is only used on Ford Flex. No other models use this device. The reserved devices cannot be "for new car builds". I believe we are on the edge of a "BAD FAITH" arguement. An issued "Safety Recall" should not mean "Suggested when you have time Recall.
Received recall notice - safety recall notice 24S75 / the federal safety agency recall 24V951 in January 2025. This recall has still not been completed by Ford. This has been over 1 year. Do they get indefinite time to repair recall
Rear Camera recall has not been remedied it has be 9 months
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Flex. The contact stated that while driving at 70 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the exterior of the vehicle. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, and upon inspection, the contact became aware that the keypad had detached from the door and was hanging down. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic to be repaired. The contact taped the keypad to the door to avoid water from entering the keypad. Three-quarters of the keypad had detached and flown off while driving. The buttons on the keypad still functioned as intended. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.
The back up camera in the vehicle almost never works properly. The majority of the time, while in reverse, the screen is blue or black. It will sometimes show the camera video feed but it will be upside down before the screen turns to black. It will than say that the camera is unavailable. If the back up camera is not operation, it can be very difficult to see small objects or young people directly behind the vehicle. The symptoms are the same as described in the federal safety agency recall number 24V951 which affects the same vehicle line and model year as this vehicle. This VIN is not affected by recall 24V951.
While car is in reverse the rear view camera cuts in and out more than 75 %of time while. This has resulted in several near miss collisions while backing up. But when I checked my vin it was included in the current recall for the same issue and concern.
