Driving home, I entered my neighborhood and stopped to check my mail; i put my vehicle in park retrieved my mail and began to reverse out of the parking space, doing so the monitor screen flickered then a message came on the screen saying contact manufacturer camera unavailable. I then proceeded to put the car in drive and the message disappeared and the camera came back online. As i entered my driveway i put my car in park then reverse again and things were normal. This morning as i was backing out of my driveway the camera went black as well as no warning alarm or notification that i was approaching an individual and a few kids walking somewhat directly behind me, nearly hitting them.

Rear backup camera failure. Sometimes it is upside down, sometimes it is right side up and sometimes it is blank and sometimes show only black screen with verticals lines.

Backup camera started having issues (screen image upside down, screen flashing) 3 years ago. Dealer stated this is common complaint and since the car was not under warranty the estimated repair could be upwards to $2,000. I asked if the issue was common and pointed out there was a recall on new Ford cars and trucks due to backup camera issues, and why this issue shouldn't be covered as it is has the same problem that the recall on newer vehicle has? There was no response other than asking if I wanted the camera fixed, or not.
