Jun 22, 2022Backup camera & sensors
When my car is placed in reverse, the parking assist system is activated. The cameras are supposed to turn on to give me visibility and warnings if cars or people are approaching. Instead, the screen will go out and start blinking with a white screen. This results in an inability to safely maneuver and no camera visibility. This happens often and have been able to record 2 instances on my phone. I have reported the issue to the dealership twice and because it cannot be replicated, the issue has not been resolved. With each visit, video has been provided to service department.
