Description of the problem | I returned home from vacation. My car had been sitting in the garage. When i started it up and put in reverse the backup camera was black, the back up lights failed to come on. I checked online and several other people had experienced the same thing that was caused by a short in the driver's side visor that is on the same fuse as the back up camera and lights. I took if to the dealer, when they replaced the fuse, it blew immediately. They ran diagnostics then replaced the visor. The diagnostics cost over $350, the new visor $80. The car had 38000 miles on it. This is a known defect in this vehicle and because of the design of the car, the back up camera is critical to driving safely. This should be a recall item. |
