Owner Complaints (16)
Your 2022 Ford Edge's rearview camera is displaying mostly your license plate instead of a clear view behind the vehicle when in Reverse. The camera also failed to beep as a warning when another vehicle was nearby, which contributed to your car hitting a parked vehicle. Even after the dealer spent 4-5 weeks on repairs, the problem continued to occur.

Your rearview camera periodically goes dark, becomes distorted, or freezes while backing up, making it difficult to see behind your vehicle. The issue has happened multiple times, and your dealer identified that a software update is needed to fix it. Ford issued a recall notice (Campaign 25V315000) and said they'd send the update over-the-air without a dealer visit, but the update hasn't been applied to your vehicle. The repair will involve installing the recalled software update to restore proper camera function.

Your 2022 Ford Edge received a recall fix for the back-over prevention system via satellite update, but afterward your infotainment screen keeps going black, freezing, and showing warning lights that indicate missing functions. The back-over prevention camera also fails when you put the vehicle in reverse. The dealer told you they can't fix these problems because the recall repair was a one-time free service. A technician will need to diagnose the infotainment and camera system to identify what went wrong after the satellite update and potentially reinstall or repair the affected software and hardware.

The backup camera isn't working properly; it's very dim and glitchy. This was a known and recalled issue for 2021 - 2022 Ford Edges, but because of my VIN number, they won't fix it without charging me. If I'm having the same issue as the other recalled ones, why won't you service mine?
Bought this vehicle from Bayou Ford in LaPlace, LA around 2 months ago. The back up camera stopped working correctly after first month. Paid to have reset at Ford dealer in Slidell, they said wasn't on recall. It's got squiggly lines when selecting reverse on shifter, unable to view behind me. This is dangerous as it's a large vehicle and I fear running over something or into another vehicle out of view. This is the exact problem as the recall indicates. The Slidell dealer said it would be over 1K to replace a camera and I don't have it after just buying thr vehicle. This should not be happening with a 2 year old vehicle. Can someone please help me?
