2019 Dodge Journey Driver assistance Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the driver-assistance system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

The backup camera does not display correctly. When the car is put in reverse we get a picture of a camera with a line through it. This problem is very similar to what is in recall 59c but does not include our vin number.

The backup camera has been an issue since I bought this vehicle back around 2020. It first would go in and out to black and now it's fully upside down at all times. I thought a recall had been issued but my vehicle doesn't qualify for some reason which is very frustrating. It's very unsafe, especially when I have a [XXX] old trying to "permit" drive in this vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2019 Dodge Journey was built in March of 2019. My backup assist camera is having the same issues as the recall for Dodge Journeys that were built in May thru September or 2019. Why is my car not included in the recall when it is suffering the exact same issue as the vehicles included in the recall. Clearly I have the same equipment as the other cars.

The back up camera on my 2019 Dodge Journey is currently displaying either a blue, black or upside down picture. This is the same problem that is described in your recall notice for Dodge Journeys made between May of 2019 and February of 2020. My car was built in March of 2019. Is the NHTSA reviewing production of cars made prior to May of 2019?
