Blind Spot Detection problem #1

The rear view camera, activated when the vehicle is in reverse, works on and off. The inconsistent nature of the rear cameras view presents a danger everytime I backup.

Blind Spot Detection problem #2

The rearview camera stopped working. It works intermittently when backing up (<10%), but otherwise just shows a black screen for the rear backup camera. No warning lamps. As a result the rear blind spot warning does not work, posing a risk to kids or pedestrians crossing behind me. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone at this point but a service appointment is scheduled. It is available for inspection.

Blind Spot Detection problem #3

This vehicle failed to have airbags deployed in this accident on 3. 23. 2022, as photographs that are larger than 10mb will upload, but the estimate did upload. But the car was spun nearly if not fully 360 after hit by a truck in a lane change of a blind spot that spun the car and into concrete barriers. Horrible. Totaled vehicle. This is the second accident both under usaa on September 03, 2021, with another police report and freeway accident from front end when freeway traffic came to a sudden stop, and into the barrier. Again no air bag deployed. Warning systems failed.
