“The backup camera on my 2021 Jeep Wrangler unlimited rubicon just stopped working. I got in, started the car as usual, went to back up and the screen is completely black. I've gone 3 different places today and the camera has not worked all day. I literally bought this car brand new 3 weeks ago. This is a safety hazard. Someone will wreck when this goes out on them. It looks like a very common problem when I google the issue!”
NHTSA complaint #11397225, filed 2021-02, 300 miles“My 2021 Jeep Wrangler unlimited sahara's back up camera failed within 3 weeks of my purchase of the vehicle brand new. It was in the shop for two weeks as they couldnt recreate the problem as the back up camera works intermittently. I proved pictures of the blank screen while the vehicle was in reverse. They decided to replace it even though they say Jeep wont replace anything unless they can recreate. On saturday march 27th when I went to put the vehicle in reverse the new back up camera failed to work again. …”

NHTSA complaint #11405967, filed 2021-04, 2,097 miles“Within a few days of buying it brand new off the lot the back up camera quit displaying the line assist intermittently when vehicle is placed in reverse. We had it reset at the dealership. The issue continued. A few weeks later the back up camera is now failing to display any picture and appears as a black screen when vehicle is in reverse. This happens when vehicle is stationary and put into reverse to back up. It continues even if you attempt to put it back in park and then reverse again.”
