2022 Hyundai Santa Fe: backup camera failure

Filed Oct 31, 2026 · VT

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): [XXX] Vehicle: 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe Component: Rearview backup camera the federal safety agency Recall: 271 (Campaign Number 24V879000) I am submitting a safety complaint regarding the rearview backup camera on my 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe. The backup camera flickers when the vehicle is placed in reverse, causing an intermittent and potentially unreliable rearview image. This is a serious safety concern because the backup camera is an important safety feature that helps drivers identify pedestrians, children, pets, and obstacles behind the vehicle. When the image flickers or becomes unreliable, it can compromise the driver’s ability to safely maneuver in reverse and increase the risk of an accident or injury. I am concerned that this issue may be related to the rearview camera defect addressed by Hyundai Safety Recall 271 (the federal safety agency Campaign Number 24V879000). I would like the federal safety agency to investigate whether this problem affects additional vehicles or whether the existing recall adequately addresses the underlying defect. I am requesting that the federal safety agency review this complaint, investigate the cause of the backup camera malfunction, and determine whether additional safety action or an expanded recall is warranted. A malfunctioning rearview camera should not be dismissed as a minor inconvenience when it directly affects driver visibility and pedestrian safety. The vehicle’s VIN is [XXX]. I ask that the federal safety agency consider this specific vehicle and its reported symptoms when evaluating the scope and effectiveness of the existing recall. I respectfully request that this complaint be documented and considered as part of the federal safety agency’s ongoing vehicle safety investigations and recall evaluations.

Vehicle purchased 9/1/24 from Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa. Dealership failed to file registration/tags until 10/4/24. 7/12/25: Vehicle experienced involuntary acceleration and braking, resulting in impact with my mother’s home. 7/16/25: Dealer issued written report stating vehicle was operating normally and documented a recall-related display/audio/camera software update. 8/14/25: Hyundai engineering inspection performed without my knowledge. No report has ever been released. 8/27/25: Hyundai issued corporate denial, blaming driver error and stating braking/acceleration systems were normal. 12/5/25: Second involuntary braking incident at highway speed on I-275. Five uncommanded braking events over ~20 miles. Service Manager stated failure was due to sensor/camera malfunction and instructed that the vehicle should not be driven and to tow immediately. Despite this, the vehicle had been released into roadway operation. VIN lookup shows an open, unrepaired federal recall (24V879000 / Recall 271) for the rearview camera system, marked Recall Incomplete, despite the dealer’s documentation that recall-related camera/software work was completed on 7/16/25. BBB Auto Line denied my claim only because the vehicle was outside Florida Lemon Law eligibility. No safety determination was made. Hyundai released no engineering, sensor, or camera data despite an engineering inspection. This vehicle has experienced repeated involuntary braking and acceleration at highway speed, involving braking, camera, and automatic emergency braking systems, creating a serious risk of loss of control, collision, injury, or death. Despite repeated failures, contradictory diagnostics, withheld engineering data, and an open federal recall, the vehicle was released back into public roadway operation. I request that the federal safety agency formally investigate this safety defect.

Backup camera no longer works

Filed May 15, 2025 · Transmission · AL

I took my vehicle in on 2/03/25 for a back up camera recall and to have my transmission checked due it not shifting correctly. I was called within two hours and told the transmission needed to be replaced. Weeks later they called and told me they had good news and bad news, the transmission was replaced, however it would not work. They replaced the transmission for the second time and had me pick up the vehicle on April 17th. I picked the car up and immediately went back in and told her it was not shifting right. They told me to drive it home and see how it did and they would have the service advisor reach out. On the way home, the car was at 5000RPM at 60mph. It was not shifting. The check engine light came on the next day. The car was taken back and I was told on April 21st the transmission needed to be replaced again. I was called on April 7th and told that there was a wire they needed to check that went from the transmission to the pcm and they were going to check it and see if that would fix it. That is 3 total transmissions that have been in this 2022 vehicle. The vehicle is unsafe to drive and Hyundai corporate is not doing anything to help.

The reverse camera system did not come on when reversing. It could lead to someone like a child getting hurt if they’re walking behind the vehicle. The problem was reproduced by the dealer and serviced for this issue. They confirmed it was the same problem as the recall. There is a recall for 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe’s that were manufactured in the Alabama plant. This is where my car was manufactured. For some reason, it was not included in the VINs that were recalled.
