Description of the problem | After about 8 months of purchase of this vehicle the backup camera began to act up. The camera would occasionally go to static or a completely black screen. I had finally managed to have taken a video and produced it for the mechanic to see. They said that they could not recreate the issue so they had blamed the problem on the heat. While i agree it is hot in the state of arizona, this is something that should have been sorted out during the development cycles of the vehicle and the camera. Arizona the last i checked is a part of the united states where ford exists as a company and road tests vehicles on account of the heat. These are situations that should have been figured out already. You are not expected to rely on backup cameras, but in a vehicle like this it is an important way of being able to see out the back of the car and is a premium item. This is one of four complaints i have had about this vehicle that have not been resolved. |
