Backup camera failure by model year
What owners say
The rear view camera ceases to work. It may work for a few days, then not work for a few days. This has been occurring since prior to the end of the warranty period. Dealer would not inspect as it was working when the vehicle was taken to the dealer.
Back up camera issues hardly works
My backup camera continues to glitch/black screen in the middle of me reversing or as soon as I place my vehicle in reverse.
We rented this vehicle from Budget for about two weeks. On two separate occasions the backup camera went blank and the rear parking sensors quit working. I stopped the vehicle and shifted from reverse to drive and back but the rear view camera and sensors did not come back on. After I shutdown and restarted the vehicle, they started working again. We turned the vehicle in on 1/3/2021 and mentioned the issue to the lot attendant.
Periodically the back up camera shorts out and you are no longer able to use it.
