Consumer Description

I received the recall notice about the reverse camera malfunctioning, something my car was definitely having an issue with. A little while later I did receive the OTA update to software version 3.6.4, however, my car still receives the "camera is temporarily unavailable" when putting it in to reverse a good amount of the time. Other times it flickers quite a bit. Other times it is OK. I can't identify any patterns or reasons why it fails sometimes.
