What owners wrote
Vehicle was garaged and functioning under normal conditions. Appx. 64000 miles. When the car was turned on and put in reverse, the rearview camera's view was moderately visible, but garbled past any useful view. This did appear to happen after the trunk was simply opened and shut before getting in the car, although that should hardly affect the ability for the camera to work or not. The next time I started the car, I did not open the trunk, and the problem persisted.
Check engine light cuts on with overheating and eps error when starting car sometimes. When you shut off car it cuts off and returns to normal. It started last year and has continued, I was told it may be a sensor shortage.
