The contact owns a 2011 Ford Taurus. The contact stated that while in reverse, the backup camera would either flash blue or appear upside down on the screen. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the backup camera had been defective since the vehicle was purchased. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Rear view camera stopped working a short time ago. Car was completely inspected and I was told that the repair would cost $1136.00 ! Car has very low mileage , no accidents, garage stored etc. I find it hard to believe such an expense on the car. How often will this become a problem? Will I need to come up with $1100.00 or more on a regular basis every few years for such repairs ? Is ford aware of this problem with other cars and have made arrangements to assist in cost of repairs?
Transmission slips out of gear while driving and sometimes while stopped. Rear backup camera comes on while driving forward at highway speeds. Ford has issued tsb but my dealer was unaware of it and did not repair until I took them a copy of the tsb 10-21-2. Very dangerous especially when pulling out into traffic. Somebody is going to get hurt. I found info on tsb through owner message boards so it's not an isolated problem.
