2019 Ford Flex Limited and the rear view camera will come up with a blank screen or a blue screen and not show anything. Then will show the error of Camera not available. This problem has been reported in other Flex vehicles and is listed on the NHTSA ID Number: 24V951000. According to the local Ford dealer, this vehicle is not affected but is showing all the symptoms of it. This occurs intermittently. The camera will work on one reverse, and not work on the next.

The back up camera in the vehicle almost never works properly. The majority of the time, while in reverse, the screen is blue or black. It will sometimes show the camera video feed but it will be upside down before the screen turns to black. It will than say that the camera is unavailable. If the back up camera is not operation, it can be very difficult to see small objects or young people directly behind the vehicle. The symptoms are the same as described in NHTSA recall number 24V951 which affects the same vehicle line and model year as this vehicle. This VIN is not affected by recall 24V951.

While car is in reverse the rear view camera cuts in and out more than 75 %of time while. This has resulted in several near miss collisions while backing up. But when I checked my vin it was included in the current recall for the same issue and concern.

See attached document for complaint. I am writing because back in January I received a notice of recall to have the rearview camera replaced because of inverted, blank, or distorted image. I had that camera replaced for those very same symptoms several weeks before the recall was announced. After working at a Ford Dealer for 23 years, I do know that you refund the cost of any work done that would have fallen under a recall. The notice says that parts are unavailable now, but they were available, within on week, when I had the problem corrected. As such, I am asking for a refund now, because I know that some parts take nearly forever to get. For those vehicle sitting on lots that cannot be sold because of an open recall is very frustrating for the dealer. Again, I am asking for a refund now for work that would have fallen under this recall, #24S75.

My camera (rearview) had been dysfunctional for quite sometime and I could not use it. I finally got it fixed 1/9/25 when I brought my car in for a oil change. I bought a great warranty and only had to pay my deductible of $100. Within a month, I got a recall letter for the same reason with the camera. I called Ford corp office and they told me to get the invoice from Ford and send it with the letter to you for reimbursement. So excited to get me $100.00 back for this. Ford highlighted the part for you since the oil change was on the invoice. Any questions please call me at work at 702-XXX-XXXX. Thank you.

2019 Ford Flex Back-up camera either upside or unavailable when the car is put into reverse. Car is available for inspection upon request. The software has been successfully updated multiple times.

There were no warning signs for the problem. Thought a recall would be issued.

Rear view camera shows a black or blue screen on display. This happened the other day in the middle of backing my vehicle and caused a near miss with an person crossing behind vehicle. This is a major safety issue and i see ford has recalled almost every make and model for this same issue but not the flex.

The problem was with the backup camera. The problem started when we had about 25,000 miles on the car, I ended up getting the camera replaced at 36,000 miles. The camera worked properly 90 to 95% of the time. Sometimes it would just be fuzzy, sometimes it would be blank and say camera not available, and other times it showed everything upside down. Sometimes the obstacle beeper would work, and when the camera wasn't working the Beeper would not work. We were going on a trip over the recent Christmas holidays out of state and my wife wanted the Peace of Mind of having that camera working. We are both retired, and I took it to a dealer and it cost almost $700 to replace the camera. I told the Ford dealer that I wanted the bad camera, and I do possess it. I have Googled the problem, and I noticed that it is a rampant problem with Ford vehicles but I am convinced that they haven't done a recall on the Flex because they stopped making these vehicles in 2019. I have a 15-year-old Chrysler product with 150,000 miles on it and the backup camera works perfectly. Ford seems to recall all of their new and current vehicles for this identical problem but they have no intention of helping me with the cost. I've called them several times and I have a case number with them but the only response that I have gotten, is that there's no recall so they can't do anything about it. Interestingly, when I made the appointment to get it fixed the service guy said he had to check inventory of the cameras because they go through them so quickly. He got back to me and told me that they had just received six more so I could come in right away and get it taken care of. I had it fixed December 15th at Dean Sellers Ford in Troy Michigan. I have taken pictures of the invoice and the bad part but I can't seem to load them on this form

My Ford reverse camera fails to display a correct image, decreasing driver visibility. It is nearly always displayed upside down or occasionally the image fails to appear at all. The parking guide lines also fail to display since January. There were no warning lights when the malfunction began in January 2023 and at that same time, the camera started remaining on while I drive forward, showing a live upside down view while driving forward for various amounts of time after shifting out of reverse. The Ford dealership says they have several people with rear view camera malfunctions right now but they aren't manufacturing those cameras at this time so they can't fix it and there is no ETA at all. In addition to that, they quoted a high price to fix this some day when the part is made again even though it's clearly a manufacturer defect. I've been repeatedly asking Ford for help with my faulty rear view safety camera since Jan 2023. The dealership inspected it and confirmed the defect which is easily reproduced by simply putting the vehicle in reverse. They did not inspect the cables, wiring or electrical components even though I requested it. There has been no resolution and my car is unsafe in reverse because of the Ford camera defect and non-working backover protection. This is a long vehicle and the defective reverse camera or camera wiring causing the image to be upside down or flashing off to black creates a risk of backing up into people, objects and other vehicles. It is extremely troubling and dangerous at all times in reverse, especially in parking lots and in areas with pedestrian or vehicular traffic, street parking and in tight conditons such as parking structures and garages. I've been asking for a resolution from Ford for almost 6 months. I need the camera and wiring repaired ASAP or a temporary vehicle to drive until this safety issue is resolved. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Thank you.

The backup camera malfunctioned. The malfunction was reported to the Ford dealer. No replacement part is available from Ford. The car is still under warranty, but Ford is making no efforts to repair or replace this mandatory safety component of my car.

Back up camera not working; started flashing on/off, turning upside down, and now simply does not work; the beeping still works to let you know you’re close but the visual is not available. Not being able to SEE what is behind me is a safety issue as well as not being able to see how close I am to objects. I have taken my Flex to Tim Short Ford Dealership in Morehead, KY where the problem was reproduced. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. The warning message that the camera is not available appears when the vehicle is put in reverse. It began approximately 6 months ago.

REAR backup camera has upside down view. Tried various remedies (reset, and battery disconnect) to fix issue but when vehicle is put into reverse camera has view that is upside down. Dealer says camera and soft ware needs to be replaced but is not covered under vehicle warranty. I see Ford is now recalling other models with the same issue. Can you let me know if the 2019 Ford Flex will be recalled for the same camera issues?

The backup camera is flashing on and off when in reverse. Once it do stay on the video is cloudy, pixilated and flipped upside down. It also stays black screen for a bit then pops back on.

The Rearview Camera has gone out, for which they have sold so many that the dealers cannot get replacements. This should definitely be Recalled like the many, many other Ford Rearview Camera Recalls! Note: Vehicle has less than 25,000 miles on it.

1. Rear Camera, yes 2. Unable to see behind car thus unable to see people and/or vehicles. 3. Intermittent 4. No 5. Camera unavailable, camera no signal

Back up camara is intermittent.
