2016 FORD TAURUS Back Over Prevention Sensing System Camera Problems

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Taurus. The contact stated while reversing, the rearview camera image was upside down and distorted. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the rearview camera had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the part was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the part had been discontinued. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

Backup camera fails to work. My Lincoln dealer confirmed but cameras are on back order. This camera is used in multiple Ford vechiles and recalls have been issued for some but not my 2016 Ford Taurus.

I was backing up in a parking lot when the backup camera suddenly inverted and I nearly ran over a small child. It now only works about 40% of the time and usually the image is inverted or scrambled. This is dangerous. I think Ford should fix it since apparently they have approved a recall on other models that apparently have the same camera system as my car.

The rear back up camera has stopped working properly and most of the time it's not working at all making it a safety risk maneuvering in reverse when children or other pedestrians are around.
