The rear backup camera screen is black or flickers, and sometimes shows an error message like "camera not available.

4 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2019 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 06/01/2025

The rear view camera operates intermittently. Sometimes it works fine, other times the picture is blank or is extremely blurry with horizontal lines through it or the screen just displays snow. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. It can work in the morning, but not when I leave to go home after work. It can works for days, then not work for days. I called Ford due to an article that came across my news feed about rear camera recalls, but Ford said I'm not covered. This has been going on for several months now. A dealer wanted to charge several hundred dollars to check it out, but I didn't want to pay. To me this should be covered under warranty.

5 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2016 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 04/30/2025

While backing up, the rear came will show a black screen on the display or a message to contact the dealership. This isn't a constant issue, but comes whenever. I took it to the dealership a few years ago, but because it wasn't happening then, they said there was nothing they could do.

7 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2014 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 01/01/2025

The rear view camera on my Ford Fusion has been not working. A couple months ago it was off and on when it did not work. When it was too hot the camera would not work and have an error that says to go to a dealership. I dealt with it because it was every once in a while, but now it never works. I went to my local mechanic and he did not know what was causing the problem. I saw that multiple Ford cars, including Fusions, are under recall for what appears to be the same issue I am dealing with. I think the recall should be extended to more model years since it seems to me there are more cars with the problem.

Backup camera does not work all the time works only sometimes and sometimes the backup alert does not work right.

9 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2013 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 05/01/2024

The backup camera fails to show an image from behind the car over 75% of the time. The display in the car is black upon putting the car in reverse, within about 2 seconds a message displays “rear view camera is unavailable. Please contact your dealership. ” the collision sensors (rear cross traffic) also does not work when the camera is not working. Looking at multiple online sites, as well as a friend who has a similar model Fusion as I do, there are many many reports of this issue . My car is low mileage (63,141). Ford also has multiple recalls for this issue on other models and years, this car should be included in the recalls.

10 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2016 Ford Fusion

Failure Date: 07/26/2023

My back-up camera only half works. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t. My car also doesn’t alert me to when I’m getting too close to another vehicle when I backing into a parking spot. Also, the bluetooth in my car has not worked or even connect to my phone since I first bought that car, and for this car to not even be 10 years old yet, this is ridiculous. Everyone I know has been having very similar issues. Y’all need to get it together. Is there anyway this issue can be looked into as well please? it’s be really nice to get to use all of my features I pay for. Love the car, hate this electrical bs. ??.
