2018 SUBARU LEGACY Back Over Prevention Sensing System Camera Problems

The infotainment head unit system and screen with the backup camera is completely malfunctioning. There have been instances where the screen glitches out while backing up and I have almost been in a collision.

I also see mention online of emergency broadcast radio being blocked, since it does not stay on one channel, due to screen issues. I do not recommend Subaru (not the only issue I've had on...

Back up camera freezes or doesn't work when backing up- almost caused a accident!
