I brought my 2019 Ford Flex to World Ford Pensacola for two open safety recalls: 25SA9 (Rearview Camera) and 25SB8 (B-Pillar Trim). Despite the B-pillar trim being already detached (failed component), the dealer refused to document the inspection for recall 25SB8. Furthermore, on Invoice #XXX, they incorrectly documented recall 25SA9 as ‘Only for Mustang’, even though my vehicle is a Ford Flex. This dealer is providing false documentation and refusing to record safety-critical defects on the official OASIS report. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Rear view back up camera failed. The repair solution is long overdue.
The vehicle has a panoramic roof with each of the three windows having a roller sunshade. Two of three roller sun shades have failed or are not working causing excessive glare and heat in the vehicle.
When reverse gear is selected: The rear backup camera stop providing rear view. It sometime is a blank screen or reports rear camera is not available. With out the camera working as designed reverse collisions may not be avoided. I did contact the local ford dealer and they advised it was not a warranty issue. No other warning lights display.
2019 Ford Flex Back-up camera view is always upside and sometimes delayed or unavailable when the car is put into reverse. Software updates are current. The camera going out, delayed, and being upside down when backing up is definitely a safety issue. There are no longer wheel guidance lines available. The car is 5 years old and the camera worked for about the first two years. There were no warning signs for the problem. Thought a recall would be issued.
The problem was with the backup camera. The problem started when we had about 25,000 miles on the car, I ended up getting the camera replaced at 36,000 miles. The camera worked properly 90 to 95% of the time. Sometimes it would just be fuzzy, sometimes it would be blank and say camera not available, and other times it showed everything upside down. Sometimes the obstacle beeper would work, and when the camera wasn't working the Beeper would not work. We were going on a trip over the recent Christmas holidays out of state and my wife wanted the Peace of Mind of having that camera working. We are both retired, and I took it to a dealer and it cost almost $700 to replace the camera. I told the Ford dealer that I wanted the bad camera, and I do possess it. I have Googled the problem, and I...
My Ford reverse camera fails to display a correct image, decreasing driver visibility. It is nearly always displayed upside down or occasionally the image fails to appear at all. The parking guide lines also fail to display since January. There were no warning lights when the malfunction began in January 2023 and at that same time, the camera started remaining on while I drive forward, showing a live upside down view while driving forward for various amounts of time after shifting out of reverse. The Ford dealership says they have several people with rear view camera malfunctions right now but they aren't manufacturing those cameras at this time so they can't fix it and there is no ETA at all. In addition to that, they quoted a high price to fix this some day when the part is made again even though it's clearly a manufacturer defect. I've been repeatedly...
