| Description of the problem | The rear camera does not come on immediately and sometimes i have backed up20-40 ft before it engages. It is a problem and i recently was hit by another car when i wa backing up because i didn't see them coming at me. This has been a problem since the beginning of my new car ownership in 2012. Dealership says nothing is wrong with the functioning of the camera. |
