3 Sensing System Camera problem of the 2022 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 11/20/2024

The backup camera isn't working properly; it's very dim and glitchy. This was a known and recalled issue for 2021 - 2022 Ford Edges, but because of my VIN number, they won't fix it without charging me. If I'm having the same issue as the other recalled ones, why won't you service mine?.

4 Sensing System Camera problem of the 2011 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 08/30/2024

Nhtsa request #1576215 | Ford motor company [xxx] I am filing a complaint as suggested by the u. S. Department of transportation’s vehicle safety hotline information center. My 2011 Ford Edge is experiencing the same symptoms as indicated in a safety recall for failure of the backup camera, however my vehicle/equipment is not included in the recall. The camera was replaced and paid for out of pocket in 2021 due to the same issue. I requested that Ford motor company provide a customer satisfaction program for my vehicle's back up camera. We paid $1,072. 46 ($485. 00 for the camera + $587. 46 in labor charges) to replace the defective back up camera 1/28/2021 after the technician at mike marone Ford in longmont, CO verified our concern and confirmed that the backup camera was inoperable and had failed. This repair came with a 2 year unlimited mileage parts and labor warranty. When the camera failed again in 2023, I called the same dealership to ask about the repairs and was told the warranty had expired a few months prior and there was nothing they could do other than have us pay to replace the camera again. They performed an inspection and confirmed the camera is inoperable. Shortly thereafter we received safety recall notification 23s23/NHTSA recall 23v342 for an inoperative rear camera for our 2020 Ford explorer. I was hopeful that Ford realized the camera was defective and would replace the camera in our 2011 Ford Edge as part of that same recall, as the safety notification stated "the loss of the rear camera image while in reverse increases the risk of a crash". I called Ford motor company I was told by the customer service agent I spoke with, that this was a VIN specific recall notice and she could not honor the recall for 2011 Ford Edge. Followed up with Ford asking them to reconsider their decision, and was told they could not overrule the initial decision. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

5 Sensing System Camera problem of the 2022 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 03/15/2024

Bought this vehicle from bayou Ford in laplace, la around 2 months ago. The back up camera stopped working correctly after first month. Paid to have reset at Ford dealer in slidell, they said wasn't on recall. It's got squiggly lines when selecting reverse on shifter, unable to view behind me. This is dangerous as it's a large vehicle and I fear running over something or into another vehicle out of view. This is the exact problem as the recall indicates. The slidell dealer said it would be over 1k to replace a camera and I don't have it after just buying thr vehicle. This should not be happening with a 2 year old vehicle. Can someone please help me? debra hunt 985-400-8620 , dsh0512@gmail. Com.

15 Sensing System Camera problem of the 2013 Ford Edge

Failure Date: 04/01/2017

The backup camera stopped working properly years ago. When in reverse, the camera is either completely a black screen or upside down. I have been quoted many times by Ford that it would be $500-1,000 for me to fix this. This is a common issue with this vehicle make/model. Many other people have notified NHTSA of this issue, as well and Ford says this is very common yet they take no responsibility to fix it. This creates blind spots and a safety issue while backing up.
