2011 Lincoln MKX: backup camera failure

Filed Oct 23, 2025 · Visibility · IA

My backup rearview camera blacked out one day. Then it came back upside down. Then one day it went back to a right-side up view. But then it is upside down again. It is EXTREMELY difficult to see anything now when I back up with the view being upside down. There is a recall 25S42 from April 2025 for something similar, but it includes a 2015 Lincoln MKC but NOT the 2011 Lincoln MKX. They need to add the 2011 Lincoln MKX to the recall. I'm a Lincoln fan and i really don't like to see them including some cars and some don't. it has been the same issue for all of them and that will increase the possibility of accident

The back up camera is not working. Sometimes ithe view is perfect color, etc. Other times the view is upside down and other times, toitally out of focus or the screen is black & says check with dealer. It is a safty hazard, expecially at night when backing up. The Ford dealer says the camera needs replacing.

My backup camera has stopped working and turned black just like other lincoln models that are being recalled and I believe my car should be included in the recal... Also my transmission leaks fluid just like other lincoln's that are being recalled for the same issue, I feel like mine should also be included in that recall as well

Navigation no longer working- they are requiring me to purchase new sd mapping system. This should be illegal- how can they make me spend more money on a new mapping system when the navigation is working? It's a way to make me spend unnecessary money. I do not mind having outdated maps. Also the backup camera is no longer working, it is not that old of a vehicle. I have older iphones with camera's working.

Radio and AC settings change every time the car is restarted. Can not make a call using the voice command system. Call will not route through the car's speakers. Stereo will not come back on after a call. Stereo freezes up and shows that it is on sirius, but is really on an fm station. Stereo stays on when the car is turned off and door is opened. Sync screen blanks out and stays off. Performs "system maintenance" frequently. Says that the navigation card is faulty. Back up camera does not come on, but system says it is functioning. Has been taken to the dealership twice for repairs. They have performed a reset both times which temporarily restores function. Was told that nothing further could be done unless lincoln came out with an update.
