The rear camera stopped working, in addition the screen flickers, and is not visible. Last year, I was told the part is estimated to be in around July 2026. It is November 2026 and the update says the parts still not in. With the way this body sits, it's difficult to see all views when reversing. This is a safety hazard

The rearview camera on my 2016 Ford Fusion began malfunctioning intermittently in approximately May 2026. The problem has progressively worsened, and the camera now rarely works correctly. The most concerning malfunction is an incorrect backward/reversed left-right image. The display appears to be working normally, and the image looks accurate at first glance, but its orientation is wrong. No obvious warning accompanies the reversed image. This can mislead me about the actual location of a person, vehicle, or obstacle while backing up, creating a serious safety risk. At other times, the screen is black while the vehicle is in reverse, or an error states that the backup camera is unavailable and to contact the dealership. My vehicle is covered by Ford recall 25SA9 / the federal safety agency recall 25V695, issued October 13, 2025. the federal safety agency lookup currently shows “Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available.” More than a year after the recall was issued, I still cannot obtain the recall repair. I have contacted Ford and the dealership and opened a Ford customer-service case. I was told that recall repairs were available for Mustangs but not my Fusion, with no firm repair date provided. The dealership previously told me a customer-pay camera replacement costing more than $800 was available, but the recall part was unavailable and reimbursement would not be provided. I request that the federal safety agency review the worsening camera malfunction, particularly the misleading reversed image that appears accurate, and Ford’s continuing inability to provide a timely recall remedy. Please evaluate whether an effective interim remedy can be provided while the recall repair remains unavailable.

My ford fusion has had an open recall for about a year now for the back up camera. When I put my car in reverse the image is sometimes reverted, like things on the left are on the right of the screen, sometimes it is all black, and sometimes it has lines down the middle of the screen. I’ve called ford multiple times to see about when I could get this fixed and they keep telling me theirs is no remedy available yet.
