“Backup camera intermittently goes black and blank. It gives a warning that the camera is not available. Took it to the dealer when it first started happening in 2019, but they wanted over $1000 to fix it. There is a recall for the 2020 with this problem due to an electrical issue. Why is the 2014 not included?”
NHTSA complaint #11416618, filed 2021-05, 49,800 miles“Rear backup camera can show distorted images or suddenly go dark when engine is running and put into reverse when backing up. Camera image is sporadic. It will sometimes flicker and go out or not engage at all showing either a black or blue screen and saying rear camera not available . Happens w/o warning. Warmer weather effects it more often than in cold or when foot is applied to the brake. I purchased car brand new from Ford dealership and this started happening after warranty was up. Took to Ford dealership to diagnose cost estimate over $800 to fix. …”
NHTSA complaint #11375814, filed 2020-11, 65,000 miles“The backup camera works periodically. Over a year ago, I went to Fiesta Ford to complain but it would cost me over $1000 to repair the camera. Many rimes it will start to work and during my back up, the screen would go black. There were several times when this occurred where I almost backed into another car backing up at the same time. The message on the screen says camera currently not available.”
NHTSA complaint #11746923, filed 2026-06“I have a screen in my car that connects with my rear view camera that shows me where I'm going when backing up and alerts me when objects are near. My rear view camera is malfunctioning where the screen is black without an image of what's behind me and no notification of nearby objects when backing. This issue has not been reviewed by a mechanic or anyone else. …”
NHTSA complaint #11515404, filed 2023-04“The back up camera view is distorted, the image is upside down. This causes a visibility issue. I cannot use the camera to back up, I’m dependent on the side and rear view mirrors. This car has several blind spots that make using the mirrors difficult when backing up. I have nearly hit numerous cars.”
