My vehicle had a recall: Ford recall 22S06 involves 2015-2017 Ford Mustangs due to a potential issue with the rearview camera. The wiring for the rearview camera may be loose or damaged, causing the camera to display a blank or distorted image. This can reduce the driver's visibility behind the vehicle, potentially increasing the risk of a crash. The dealership at Ford Chapman Automobile claims the issue is fixed but they never fixed anything on my backup camera. It was blinking and they said it is normal for this vehicle. My backup camera is not working and they are refusing to fix it. I have contacted Ford but they also refer to the report from the dealership and say according to the dealership the problem is fixed and there is nothing that could do. My car has very limited visibility and this causes problems when backing up.

In October 2021 I attended my sisters funeral in Dallas Tx while in the parking lot I went to back up and backed into my Sons vehicle. No insurance claim was filed but I did pay out of pocket for the damage which was 2800.00. At the time I was unaware of the safety recall. My car still has no reverse camera clock or temperature reading and tpms system is failing as well. Last October I took the car to Johnston Ford in New Boston Texas. They kept the car for two and a half hours and fixed nothing. I repeatedly call back and always say they will return my call but to no avail. Please help I am lost without my reverse camera
