Warnings problems of the 2016 Ford Escape

My rear camera and therefore cross traffic and parking indications fail almost every time I turn my car on. Ford acknowledges that this is a problem and that there is a recalled part, but they do not have replacement parts and so I must continue to drive with faulty parts.

The rear view camera does not work at times and when it does the image is distorted and discolored and it is also upside down.

I received Ford's safety recall notice dated October 2025 regarding srn 25sa9 / NHTSA recall 25v695. It has been 6 months since this recall issue and Ford hasn't made any progress in resolving the issue??? I find that extremely hard to believe!!! apparently Ford does not consider "saftey" a priority for their customers!!! has Ford received any kind of penalty for not expediting the resolution for this issue??? facing a stiff penalty is the only way a company will take notice and force them to resolve the issue before someone gets hurt, or worse, dies!!!.

This recall has been going on for almost a year. And I was having problems for at least a year or two before that it’s to the point where we’re almost every time I try to use it it says unavailable. This is a safety concern as a backup camera is a vital safety feature. Ford is taking a long time to fix this issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while reversing into the garage to park the vehicle, the back over prevention sensor failed to alert the driver of the proximity to the wall and the vehicle almost struck the wall. The contact stated that dealer was contacted about the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

I am submitting a formal vehicle-safety complaint regarding my 2016 Ford Escape. My vehicle is included in NHTSA safety recall 25v695 / Ford campaign 25sa9 concerning a rearview camera that may display a blank, distorted, or intermittent image while the vehicle is in reverse. My vehicle is experiencing camera unavailable and also no audio at all. I first reported this problem to Ford or an authorized Ford dealer about a year ago. I subsequently contacted autonation Ford wholfchase and Ford motor company. My Ford case number is cxho8776034. Despite my repeated attempts to obtain the recall repair, the recall remains incomplete. Ford and/or its dealer has told me repair solution is not available. Audio issue and rearview backup camera are tendem issue. I asked while waiting on parts, they can fix audio issue to aid me in reverse. They said for audio issue you can leave your car with us however it will take about 4-6 week that I have to pay for. No loaner vehicle will be provided. Ford has not provided me with: a confirmed repair date a meaningful parts-delivery date an alternative Ford dealer capable of completing the recall a written plan for correcting the safety defect the underlying camera problem has existed for more than a year. I understand that the formal recall was issued on October 13, 2025, and that Ford originally anticipated the final remedy in June 2026. This is not merely a customer-service inconvenience. The defective rearview camera reduces my ability to see pedestrians, children, vehicles, and objects behind the vehicle while reversing, increasing the risk of a collision. I must continue operating a vehicle with a known and unrepaired safety defect through no fault of my own. My vehicle also has a complete loss of audio with rearview camera at the same time. The audio failure affects radio/parking-assistance tones/seatbelt warning/door warning/navigation prompts/other warning sounds.

While in reverse gear, during operation rear view camera stopped working and shows error that back up camera is not available. Screen shows blue screen. It is very dangerous as it can cause an accident.

Engine control computer malfunction is causing the engine, sync, bluetooth, brake lights, and rearview camera to malfunction.

Rear view camera stopped working almost a year ago, and out of no where the transmission stopped working. I recently just got an oil change and asked for the works to get my whole car checked out and that report as all the reports before it came back with no issues. So found it surprising that this happened.

Back up camera don’t work when backing up.
