NHTSA complaint #11698047

Owner complaint summary

The rearview camera on my vehicle intermittently fails to function for unknown reasons, and the problem has recently become more frequent. For example, it may work normally when I first start the car in the morning and back out of my parking spot, but later the same day—such as when I arrive at work—the camera stops working completely. The display stays black and does not recover even after shifting between gears or restarting the system. After parking and locking the car for a while, the camera may start working again without any clear reason. Although I cannot recall the exact dates of the first occurrence, I have noticed a consistent pattern over time: the issue tends to appear during hot weather, particularly in summer. In recent months, the camera has almost completely stopped functioning. This unpredictable failure creates a potential safety hazard when reversing, as I cannot get help on the backup camera to provide visibility behind the vehicle.
