The screen did not display the rear view, and the sensors did not activate. Although I checked my mirrors, the low-lying wall on the left was not visible, resulting in damage to the left side of the vehicle. • July 9, 2025 – dealership inspection: the vehicle was inspected at Volkswagen bayside service, where I was told no issues were found and that the camera and sensors were functioning properly. This assessment was conducted in controlled, non-real-world conditions, which I do not believe accurately replicate the environment in which the failure occurred. • lack of support from vw customer care: reasons Volkswagen should cover the repair costs • safety feature failure: the backup camera and parking sensors are critical safety systems required under fmvss no. 111.
