Rearview System Braking problems of the 2015 Ford Escape

The back up camera I just picked the date I don’t know what the date was.

The rear camera has increasing failures. It goes to black multiple times while in reverse and takes a few seconds to get the image back. It is available for inspection upon request. It has put my safety and the safety at others at risk due to the sudden changes. There is a recall for other Ford models for the same thing. I think this recall needs to be expanded to include Escapes. There are no warning lights. It first happened a few years ago, but is increasing in frequency.

The rear back up camera is malfunctioning/not working intermittently. Sometimes it works, and then glitches out and is gone, other times it is a completely black screen. This started approximately 4-6 weeks ago. It says "camera is unavailable. Please contact your dealership". I have since seen that 1. 5m Ford vehicles are being recalled for this exact issue, but my car is not on the list. I've called Ford and the dealership, and they've said I will have to have it diagnosed and pay out of pocket. It's oddly peculiar that this would be the same issue, and it just started at the same time of the recall. This has put others at risk because I cannot see them behind me, the car is not alerting me to people behind me, and I have gotten used to that function. I have to check to see if the camera is working, and then make sure to look behind, but even then it is hard to see. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone just yet. I am hesitant to take to dealer, as I will be without car for 2 days and have to pay the diagnostic fee, and potentially repair fee. There were no warning messages or other symptoms. One day it just started glitching.

The image in my reverse camera on my dashboard is upside down when I put the gearshift in reverse. Impossible to see if anything is behind me. I have not had it looked at yet by a dealership. Just began happening a few days ago. No warning lights at all came on. There are examples of this happening to other cars on youtube. Seems like a common but dangerous problem with certain Fords.

Backup camera is not working. Says to call dealership. Dealership says they dont know what is wrong with it. Safety hazard for backing up.

Backup camera not working at times. Has been going for 3 years.
