I have been made aware of this issue in writing by Ford in October 2025. I took my car in for the service to Ford in palatka, florida. I was advised that needed parts had not been authorized by the Ford. I was advised that the needed parts are in stock, but to get the problem fixed I would have to pay out of pocket. They advised me to just wait. It should be noted that my reverse camera is out and I am in need of this repair as it is a safety hazard. My camera blinks on and off (sometimes). And other times I turns on, and the image is upside down. I have waited on this recall since October 2025 and we are approaching a year with no resolve. The local dealerships advise me that they can fix the problem, just I will have to pay out of pocket. I do not believe this to be a fair practice. I am in need of help with this matter. I have a [xxx] who is a driver now and this safety hazard is very dangerous. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
