No lights are on the dash I took it and has them plug it in just incase and the only thing that came back as a possible issue is the brake pad.

The backup camera is malfunctioning. I brought in the car to the McGovern ford dealership for repair, but they stated the remedy was not yet available. It’s been over a year with a distorted image displayed on the screen, and it causes a huge distraction/confusion while reversing. It occasionally goes black, causing a dangerous situation while reversing in public areas. It began displaying a “repair needed, contact ford dealership” notification only after the camera had been distorted. This puts pedestrians/other vehicles at risk because it inaccurately displays where they are/ how close in proximity they are to my reversing vehicle. I have to turn my head to check my surroundings, but the distorted image displayed on the screen distracts/confuses the driver. It has been confirmed by the ford dealership.

The component that fail was the backup camera, and the dashboard screen was black. I was looking at the screen backing up, and I seen that the camera was black and had like colorful lines on it, and also my screen. One side was like a black spot inside of their screen on the deck of the radio. I proceeded to back up and turn my wheel and that’s when I a bump and grinding sound. Therefore, once I stopped backing up, I got out the car in my passenger rear bumper was hanging down, and I had a dent & white paint is coming up the side of the back passenger rear end. The paint that came on the rear passenger side was from me begging into the pole. I have called several times teo different Ford dealerships to see if they have the part for my car the camera & dash screen. Unfortunately, I was informed that the part have not came in and then I need to wait until another notice but I seem to have an accident since I called in April of this year 2026, and I also called in May and now I have had accident in June from this problem. Ford should have the parts or replace with updated parts. Due to this I am scared of backing into something else. I hope Ford can fix this recall on my Ford Fusion. Instead of getting legal advice for this issue. I just would like for this recall be resolved.

Took my car to the dealer who confirmed that there is coolant leaking into cylinder 4, and it is similar to other defects found in many 1.5 liter ecoboost engines from this model line.

I own a 2016 Ford Fusion that is included in NHTSA Recall Campaign 25V695 and Ford Recall Campaign 25SA9 concerning rearview/backup camera failure. The backup camera intermittently fails to display video when the vehicle is shifted into Reverse. Instead of showing the view behind the vehicle, the display shows an error message. This problem has been occurring intermittently for the past few years. I received notification of the recall inXXX. In XXX I contacted Loveland Ford in [XXX], regarding the recall repair and was told that Ford expected parts to be available in XXX. On SXXX, I again contacted Loveland Ford and was told that they did not have any timeframe for when parts would be available. The most recent backup-camera failure occurred on XXX (pictures attached). When the camera fails, the driver loses the rearward video view while backing and must rely only on mirrors and direct visual checks. Because the failure is intermittent, the camera cannot be relied upon to operate when needed. My [XXX] son began driving this vehicle in XXX. Reliable operation of the backup camera is especially important for a newer driver, and the continuing lack of a repair or estimated parts availability leaves an unresolved safety concern. I am submitting this complaint to document the recurring backup-camera failure and the continued unavailability of a recall remedy for my vehicle.

1. System / Component Failed: The rearview camera system displays a blank, distorted, or black screen while the vehicle is in reverse, completely eliminating rearward visibility. 2. Safety Risk: The loss of backup camera functionality directly impairs critical rearward visibility while reversing, significantly increasing the risk of a backover crash, striking pedestrians, or colliding with obstacles. 3. Manufacturer & Dealer Confirmation: This vehicle is affected by Ford Safety Recall Campaign 25SA9 (NHTSA Campaign 25V695). Local Ford dealership service departments and Ford Corporate have been contacted, and both confirm that no remedy or repair parts are available to perform the recall service. 4. Failure Details & Unreasonable Recall Delay: The safety defect is active and reproducible every time the vehicle is placed in reverse. Although this recall was issued nearly one full year ago (October 2025), the manufacturer has failed to supply replacement parts or provide a timely remedy under federal recall standards. The safety feature remains entirely inoperative without a resolution date or estimate provided by the manufacturer.
Power train, Sep 13, 2026
The flexplate has failed twice since a dealer-performed transmission replacement in June 2024, once in August 2025 and again in August 2026. A flexplate failure causes sudden loss of the ability to move the vehicle under power, which is a safety hazard, particularly while merging, accelerating onto a highway, or in traffic. A Ford service bulletin covering the closely related Escape with the same engine and transaxle architecture documents that flexplate cracking is linked to engine-to-transaxle alignment issues that arise whenever the engine and transmission are separated, which is exactly the service performed during a transmission replacement. This report is filed because the recurrence of an identical failure mode, on a known-affected platform, without resolution by the servicing dealer, appears to reflect an unresolved and potentially widespread mechanical defect rather than an isolated incident."

I was notified in October 2025 by Ford of a recall (NHTSA Recall 25V695) for my 2016 Ford Fusion's rear-view camera. We have contacted Ford numerous times as we have not received an additional letter stating to take the vehicle in for repair. They are claiming to only have the rear-view camera replacements for the Mustang. The rear-view camera on my vehicle does not work when in reverse (black screen that says to take the vehicle to the dealership for repair). This is a safety hazard and has almost been 1 year since the initial notification.

I am fully aware that my vehicle has a recall for the backup camera. Manufacturer recall number 25SA9, NHTSA recall number 25v695. That was back on XXX. Almost a year ago. It would be super if I could use my backup camera. I really appreciate that feature in the store parking lot, backing out of my driveway on a busy road, and picking up and dropping off my child from school as there are kids and vehicles everywhere are a few examples. Yes, I look over my shoulder regardless, but that camera does help a lot especially around the little kids. I have had a few close calls because someone was directly behind me and I didn't see them. Had my backup camera been working like it should have that wouldn't happen. How has it been almost a year and they still don't have parts? I have already had a few other recalls on my car to deal with as it is, but this one is particularly frustrating. How much time is a manufacturer typically given to fix a problem like this? How long do I need to wait for a feature that I paid for to work? I am a little frustrated, I know it is not your fault at all. I am just looking for some kind of an answer here.
