Description of the problem | I owned a new 2014 chevrolet impala. The 2014 impala had a backup camera system which was outstanding. I never had a problem with what i saw on the rear view monitor screen which was on the dash of the impala. I traded in the 2014 chevrolet impala for a 2018 and now there are two major problems with the 2018 impala back up camera system. First, if there is a light rain to a heavy rain you lose 80% to 90% of the clear vision on the monitor screen. Not once did i ever have a problem with my 2014 impala. Second, i have lost 20% of my rear view vision because 20% of the monitor screen shows the rear view bumper which reflects the sky. These are two major safety defects with my 2018 impala. Not once did i ever have a problem with my 2014 chevrolet impala. I have attached to iphone photos to illustrate the safety defects. I will put today's date to go to next part of form. Problem started when i first got the car. I was told that the camera on the back of the car was relocated as compared to the 2014 chevrolet impala camera location. |
