CAMERA INTERMITTENTLY CUTS ON AND OFF. AT TIMES WHEN IT DOES COME BACK IN THE IMAGE IS INVERTED. THE PICTURE IS CLEAR BUT EVERYTHING IN IT IS ON THE WRONG SIDE. I ALMOST HIT A CAR BECAUSE THE CAMERA SHOWED IT ON MY LEFT BUT THE CAR WAS ACTUALLY ON MY RIGHT. CAMERA ALMOST ALWAYS MALFUNCTIONS WHILE REVERSING. IS NOW AN ONGOING ISSUE. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT.

AFTER AWHILE IT WENT OFF. AS SOON AS I GOT BACK ON THE FREEWAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN.THE SECOND TIME I ALMOST GOT HIT BY SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER AWHILE THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AND I RESUMED DRIVING.I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN TEMECULA CA AND AFTER INSPECTION THEY SAID IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I HIT THE ACCELERATOR WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE OR VICE-VERSA. AND SO THEY CHARGED ME $183 TO TELL ME THAT. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY CAR I HAVE DRIVEN. THE DEALER SAYS ITS AN ISSUE WITH THE NEWER 300 MODELS. NO WARNING ANYWHERE IN MANUAL OR CAR.
