Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On several occasions, when placing the truck in reverse, I get a blue screen when I should get camera feed from the rear camera. I have owned the truck 2 months and this has happened 3 times. While I showed the dealership a photo of the problem, they have been unable to replicate and it there has been nothing done to address this safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11731315, filed 2026-04“The back up camera display intermittently shows a blank blue display instead of the camera image while the vehicle is in reverse. This has occurred 4 times over 5 months of ownership of this brand new vehicle. The issue is usually resolved after a complete power cycle of the vehicle. The rear visibility of the vehicle is poor without the added benefit of the back up camera. The problem has not yet been brought to the attention of the dealership as it is very intermittent and has not been inspected by anyone but myself. There are no warning indicators.”
