Car currently in shop having image processing module recalibrated for $1232.22. This is a known issue for other mustangs as indicated by recall 20s26.

The system alerts me this is not working as soon as the car is started via message on dash and several beeps.”
NHTSA complaint #11387702, filed 2021-01, 40,000 miles“The electrical components in the vehicle stopped functioning - for the lights on the interior the overhead stopped working on and off and then dimmed until one day never came back on. At the same time the sensor for cross traffic alert became buggy and then not functional which made all my safety features and cruise control not work. Now I have a TPMS sensor and check engine light with nothing serious wrong”
NHTSA complaint #11766779, filed 2026-09“This issue is when a haze develops on the inside of the windshield in the line of sight of the forward facing camera that detects vehicles, objects, traffic lanes and rain sensing. Since this area of the windshield is enclosed, there is no way to clean it. This is not condensation but dust particles that adhere to the glass, possibly from AC or heat that flows along the windshield and also it possibly enhanced in humid climates. When the issue occurs, the dash warning will appear stating, Front Camera Low Visibility Clean Screen and the outside windshield is definitely not dirty. …”
