Sep 14, 2025

My 2016 Ford Flex’s reverse camera has been shorting out, blinking off and on. If the camera does come on the picture is upside down. This has been happening for over a month and I have not had it looked at. This is similar to the most recent back up camera recall for other Ford vehicles for this year range.

Rear backup camera constantly blacks out or inverts itself.

My rear camera has stopped working and ford has issue with many models with this same problem.

The rear camera on this 2016 Ford Flex has gone bad 3 times since buying it in 2017. It is upside down or will be green, black or blue leaving no view at all. A Ford dealer has seen it on multiple occasions.

Back up camera image is distorted or flipped. This is a safety risk.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON 2000 MILES BEFORE MY MANUFACTURES WARRANTY EXPIRED. I HAVE A FORD SHOP HERE, BUT THEY ARE RATED SO LOW AND I HEAR NOTHING BUT BAD STUFF ABOUT THEM, SO I CALLED THE NEXT CLOSEST 95 MILES AWAY IN SPEARFISH, SD. I EXPLAINED TO THE GUY WHAT CODE THE ENGINE THREW, BUT MY LIGHT IS NOW OFF. HE SAID NOT TO COME IN, UNTIL MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. MEANWHILE MY ENGINE STILL HISSES AND THE EXHAUST ODOR IS SO STRONG INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE 36,879 MILES ON MY 2016 AND EITHER HAVE AN EXHAUST LEAK FROM THE HEADERS OR THE MANIFOLD. THE ENGINE LIGHT WON'T COME BACK ON AND NOONE WILL CHECK THE VEHICLE WITHOUT IT ON. THERE IS NO REASON FOR MY "NEWER" VEHICLE TO HAVE AN EXHAUST LEAK TO THIS EXTENT.
