Your rearview camera stopped working when you tried to back up, showing an 'X' on the screen instead of the camera image. This is part of a safety recall (Campaign 25V552000), but your dealer says the replacement parts aren't available yet and the vehicle hasn't been repaired. The repair will likely involve replacing the rearview camera module or its wiring connection.

Your backup camera screen goes blank intermittently when you put the car in reverse, making it harder to see what's behind you. This is particularly concerning if you have difficulty turning your head to check manually. Your dealer confirmed the replacement part isn't currently available, and the manufacturer hasn't responded to your inquiry. Fixing this will require replacing the backup camera system once parts become available.

Your rearview camera screen went blank when you tried to back up, with no warning light to alert you. This happened at 100,000 miles, and you weren't able to see behind your vehicle while reversing. The issue may be related to a known recall for back-over prevention systems, though your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in that recall. A dealer inspection and possible camera or display unit replacement would be needed to diagnose and fix the problem.
