What owners wrote
The backup camera on my vehicle has been malfunctioning/inoperable for 2 years. When it does work it shows the view backwards. The dealership, who I have come to distrust, said they could fix it for around $500.00. I called fomoco and told them my problem with the vehicle. They told me it's not a safety hazard, therefore they cannot do anything. To me when the camera works(seldomly) and shows the image backwards, that is a safety issue. Please advise.
