“I have took it in to get it repaired about a year ago the sensor went off and got them fix but when I explain what else was happening they found nothing months down I has other people and couldn’t find the problem with my vehicle which is now a risk to drive the steering wheels gets stiff and hard to turn I have to wait for the system to kick back originally I was told it was a O2 sensor”
NHTSA complaint #11748165, filed 2026-07“My front camera is often unavailable. I took it in multiple times and they couldn’t find an issue. Recently my back up camera has been acting up. It is unavailable most of the time, other times the screen is black, sometimes it’ll work and then cut out. There is a recall on other ford vehicles for this issue. I looked up if it needs a software update and it doesn’t. We’ve checked the camera and wiring harness and they’re both intact and in good condition.”
NHTSA complaint #11664207, filed 2025-06“The rear view camera operates intermittently. Sometimes it works fine, other times the picture is blank or is extremely blurry with horizontal lines through it or the screen just displays snow. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. it can work in the morning, but not when I leave to go home after work. It can works for days, then not work for days. I called Ford due to an article that came across my news feed about rear camera recalls, but Ford said I'm not covered. This has been going on for several months now. …”
