Consumer Description
Ever since I purchased the car new, the backup camera goes blank above 5 mph. It is a major annoyance and safety issue to suddenly have to change my rear viewing options. When cold, the car fast idles at 6 or more mph in reverse with the camera offering no assistance. Complaints to the dealership yielded the answer that the factory had no fix. Now I see Honda recall 23V046 about the same condition that I'm experiencing and that appropriately Honda is fixing their problem. Can VW be invited to fix my problem (its problem)? I understand that my son's Toyota camera blanks above 30 mph, more than reasonable.
