Backup camera failure by model year
What owners say
My steering column is off center which makes my car or tires shake unless I go a certain speed. My rear view camera never works, screen goes black, but outline shows. The electrical issues with my headlights, rear, brake and reverse lights are always going out. I have to replace them constantly. I hate going to the carwash because I fear that my lights will go out and I will have to replace the bulbs again & again.
I just recently made a post here yesterday ... And after reading comments, I thought I'd add on. My comments have to do with a 2015 kia sorento which needs a new motor because bolts that hold the head to the block are stripped (I smelled antifreeze). Obviously, not my fault. Mileage is 102,000. Kia doesn't want to help me fix this. Telling me I need a new motor at a cost of $7,000+. After reading the comments, I had to add on. Two weeks after we bought the car used, the fuel pump went. That cost was covered. A short time later, the back-up camera went. Kia wanted $1,000 to fix that; we had it fixed for $200 out of pocket. The alternator went on the car (I think we paid for that). My door handle also fell off, we had that fixed out of pocket. From everything I've read, kia doesn't care about the consumer or their safety. I bought a new kia in 2004, traded it in in 2007 for another new kia, which I still have. It has 278,000 miles on it! We bought the 2015 used and it's been one thing after another. Can't sell it as is, gotta fix it. I've been a loyal kia owner since 2004 ...won't be anymore. First opportunity to sell this car, it's gone. And there won't be another one in my driveway. Whoever heard that a 2015 car needs a new motor?!?! And their refusal to help us is unbelievable. I'm so angry.

Takata recall,backup camera not working,
The wipers and headlights would randomly come in and out of working conditions. You don't know when wipers are working until it starts raining so it was very dangerous. We had to pull over and either wait for the rain to stop or wait until the wipers started working again. The backup camera also comes in and out. You can see the screen warning you to be careful but the camera itself is absent. The door handle fell off onto the floor with no prior warning. No one hit it or anything. We opened the backseat in front of our home then drove to the airport and tried to open it again and it fell off onto the ground. The top of the door handle and parts inside that make the handle work. And now most recently our AC is not working properly coming in and out of proper function, nor are our headlights working again. You don't know when headlights are working until you need them so we used fog lights instead as evening just set and we couldn't wait for the sun to come out to continue driving. For a brand new car there are many issues with this car, otherwise we love it and the way it drives and brakes so well.
