description: Often times the rear video backup camera built into the car blanks out when reversing, randomly. Dealership said itâs possibly bad wiring but would be expensive to investigate, with me on the hook for paying if they canât locate the issue. After going two years with this issues intermittently occurring, I was able to get a new camera installed under warranty, as a way to ensure the camera itself is the issue. In the end, blanking out condition is still present. I do check my mirrors often but itâs not safe for this camera to blank out as often as it does. Iâm hoping this is an isolated issue but in the case more owners have this concern Iâd like NHTSA to investigate the matter and if needed, recall affected vehicles. A family member drove my car and was involved in a minor fender bender, with the family member stating that the back up camera camera blanked out a few times in a couple seconds as another vehicle entering their mirrors blinds spots (directly in back of car) came through. If the camera wouldâve been working properly itâs possible my driver wouldnât have stuck the other vehicle.
