2014 Ford Edge

The back up camera image flipped upside down about five years ago. it will occasionally flip right side up for short while, but then flips back. I recently found online that I'm not alone, and that this seems to be a common problem among Ford Edge owners. Also, I see where there was a recall of 2020 and 2021 Ford Edges with similar back up camera issues. It seems that the problem existed prior to those years already. Is there any chance that the this problem be acknowledged by Ford to me, an earlier and current owner ?

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel and vehicle were shaking abnormally. There was an abnormal clunking sound detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who determined that the transmission case and drive shaft were cracked and leaking and needed to be replaced. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called another local dealer, Magic City Ford Lincoln (809 Williamson Rd. NE, Roanoke, VA 24016 – (540)345-0911), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, opened a case, and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

In 2020, I paid a local Ford Dealership to replace my back up camera on my 2014 Ford Edge SEL. The camera had failed and gave the " camera not available" to driver. Worked until July of 2024. In July, the new camera failed. The camera "inverted" the image the driver sees. This makes it impossible to use the camera safely for backing up or hazard during back up. I feel this is a critical safety issue, causing disorientation of the driver while backing up. A call to the Ford dealer got the reply " Your vehicle is not covered under any Ford recall to date. The back-up camera has failed, and we can replace it at your cost"
