Back up camera screen is going out intermittently causing a hazardous situation.
The reverse rear view camera is intermittantly not working. The electrical system will often say "camera not available". There has been a recall notice for almost a year, and we are still waiting for a fix from Ford.
I am filing this complaint concerning my 2020 Ford fusion energi and Ford safety recall 23s33 / NHTSA recall 23v440 involving the high-voltage battery. Ford's recall notice states that the battery energy control module may become damaged due to excess voltage and current flow caused by a current interrupt device activation in one or more high-voltage battery cells. Ford states that this can result in loss of motive power or a vehicle fire. My vehicle has been subjected to the recall remedy/interim work and I cannot use its plug-in charging capability. I purchased this vehicle specifically as a plug-in hybrid. Ford's may 2026 recall notice states that Ford authorized dealers to replace the high-voltage battery free of charge and that the repair will restore plug-in charging functionality. However, I have subsequently been informed that a replacement battery may not actually be available for my vehicle until approximately xxx, and I have been told that even that estimated timeframe is not guaranteed. I purchased this vehicle used at approximately 37,000 miles and it currently has only approximately 43,705 miles. I have therefore driven it only approximately 6,705 miles since purchasing it. My concern is that Ford acknowledges a safety-related high-voltage battery defect and has restricted the plug-in capability of the vehicle, yet I may potentially have to wait until late 2027 or longer for the replacement battery that restores the vehicle's intended functionality. I am requesting that NHTSA review Ford's administration of recall 23s33 as it relates to the availability and timeliness of the permanent high-voltage-battery remedy and determine whether owners such as myself are receiving a safe, free and effective recall remedy within an appropriate period. I was working in [xxx] and did not receive recall information at my [xxx] address I am back in [xxx]. I want Ford to buy back the vehicle based on the letter sent.

When I get in my car sometimes it doesn't start the first time I turn the key.
Center console becomes non-responsive with buttons. A/c losses connection and windows get locked into position as well as power seats. Happens intermittently. More common when it gets really hot out.
The brakes were making a loud noise the windshield light stays on, and the engine smells like it's over heating.
