I have a 2020 Lincoln Aviator with the rear camera issue but I did not see it listed on
your recall list .
Please advise your comments
Thank you
The good news? The problem only happens when backing up!! LOL
701,114 vehicles recalled on top of previous recalls? this company's quality control reminds me of the transmission problems they had during the seventies.
I've complained repeatedly to the dealership about it.. I have a 2020 F-150 and the problem is interment glad they finally issued a recall notice on it.
They are aware of accidents, I reported mine!! Is Ford now covering up accidents they are responsible for??? Looks like it to me! I’m thinking an attorney and massive lawsuit is in order!
Lawsuit? Only the lawyers might make money if allowed to go to court. Consumers, maybe a free oil change.
I have a 2011 ford explorer limited. /while backing out of my garage the other day my rear camera had a momentary glitch, went out came back on minus the guide lines. what can I do. Camera still works.
I have a 2016 F250 Super Duty with a back up camera problem. It's more prevalent when raining, but is now happening ore often in dry weather. Not sure what the deal is with it. Any suggestions?
