NHTSA Complaint #11170638 — 2015 CHEVROLET VOLT

I RETURNED HOME FROM VACATION. MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE GARAGE. WHEN I STARTED IT UP AND PUT IN REVERSE THE BACKUP CAMERA WAS BLACK, THE BACK UP LIGHTS FAILED TO COME ON. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING THAT WAS CAUSED BY A SHORT IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR THAT IS ON THE SAME FUSE AS THE BACK UP CAMERA AND LIGHTS. I TOOK IF TO THE DEALER, WHEN THEY REPLACED THE FUSE, IT BLEW IMMEDIATELY. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS THEN REPLACED THE VISOR. THE DIAGNOSTICS COST OVER $350, THE NEW VISOR $80. THE CAR HAD 38000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE AND BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF THE CAR, THE BACK UP CAMERA IS CRITICAL TO DRIVING SAFELY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM.
