NHTSA Complaint #11668247 — 2020 FORD EDGE

For last 3+ years Rear reverse camera remains blank and screen becomes unresponsive Unable to use steering wheel buttons to change radio station or volume. Can get working again by performing a system reset (press seek and volume knob) Took to Ford dealer for the camera recall 20C19 when recall first came out. As parts were not available, dealer stated they could not apply fix Due to work schedule, finally able to reschedule in Dec 2024. After fix had been applied, reverse camera continues to stay blank and inoperable. Took back to Ford dealership. Dealership stated this was not under the recall as it is caused by a bad apim module. Warranty had expired by this time so that did not cover this either. The end failure symptom is the same as the recall but not caused by the same component therefore is not covered. Cost to replace is >$1000 so not affordable to repair. Had a few close accidents caused by the lack of reverse camera function. Vehicle is available for inspection. If the end failure is the same as that caused lack of safety requiring a recall, why would the apim module also not be replaced under recall?
