2015 Ford Explorer driver assist problems

BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING

The rear view camera is distorted/and or blank, and can potentially cause an accident. It is available for inspection upon request. By not being able to see correctly with the rear view camera, I am unable to tell which direction a car is coming from, if there are cars passing behind me, or at times I see no image at all, just a blank screen, which can severely impact one’s ability to drive safe and responsibly. The issue has been confirmed by the manufacturer. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by anyone. There was no warning prior to failure, and it seemed to first appear the day I purchased the used vehicle in November of 2025.
