Rear camera recall has not been remedied it has be 9 months.
2019 Ford Flex limited and the rear view camera will come up with a blank screen or a blue screen and not show anything. Then will show the error of camera not available. This problem has been reported in other Flex vehicles and is listed on the NHTSA id number: 24v951000. According to the local Ford dealer, this vehicle is not affected but is showing all the symptoms of it. This occurs intermittently. The camera will work on one reverse, and not work on the next.
Driver side mirror blind spot warning light is on constantly while I'm driving it never shuts off unless I shut the engine down. Rear backup camera is not working at all. When I go to back up the car I only see a blue screen.
Camera recall number is 25s72 (NHTSA 25v442000). I own a 2016 Ford Flex and its having the same issue. I had the camera replaced at the dealership out of pocket once before and its still not working. I feel my issue is the same as this recall just affecting a different model.
Power steering quit, couldn't turn wheel. Alert popped up that said "steering assist fault service required" then another alert popped up "service advance trac" same issue as the earlier years of the Flex that had a recall on them so the recall needs to be extended as the problem is not fixed in the newer years.
Rear view camera does not come on in reverse gear. It was looked at about 18 months ago and the dealership service manager said it was the camera that needed to be replaced. They also saw that the camera came on for a few seconds , then went off again. They tried it about five times ,on and off. They wanted to charge me $200. 00 to diagnose the problem. So , here I am complaining to NHTSA about my vehicle's problem.
