Example complaints

“Rearview camera is displaying a distorted image and is sometimes black, with no image, when reversing. This happened for about a month until I paid for replacing the rearview camera. I want to be reimbursed but no parts are available for over 9 months and I can’t get a refund unless parts are available. This is way beyond a reasonable amount of time.”
NHTSA complaint #11749386, filed 2026-07“While in reverse of my vehicle, the back-up camera display either goes completely black, displays an error message or glitches turning itself on/off at random. Referencing recall “25v695“ this recall has been on notice with no follow up since I received the notification letter on October 2025. This is a very high safety risk when in reverse potentially causing a crash with other vehicles, striking nearby objects or worse.”
NHTSA complaint #11755618, filed 2026-08“The contact owns a 2015 Lincoln MKZ. The contact stated that there were air bubbles in the windshield and all windows of the vehicle. As a result, there was a glare on the windshield diminishing the contact's vision. The vehicle was taken to a dealer multiple times who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The contact was aware of NHTSA campaign number: 14v484000 (visibility); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 6.”
