| Description of the problem | Whenever it rains, the backup camera on my 2016 toyota camry se gets water clogged which renders visibility by this device useless. The toyota dealership states nothing can be done to fix this problem. Toyota's hotline states nothing can be done to fix this issue. This is a safety feature failure. In the rain, you cannot see what's behind you on the backup camera when you are backing up. I have had backup cameras on previous toyotas and never had this problem before. This has been an ongoing problem since purchase of this particular vehicle. |
