Rear backup camera works periodically, there is a recall on the 2015 Expedition for this problem, but I’m being told my vehicle (VIN) is not included. The repair cost is over $1000. Why ins’t my Expedition included in the recall - I’m having the exact problem as documented in the recall. How many others are being affected by this problem but being excluded in the recall. Please investigate, this problem seems to be larger then the current recall.

Back-up Camera, the BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA only works intermittently. I'm being told me vehicle is not part of the current recall in the 2015 Expedition that was issued in April 2025, yet my vehicle (a 2015 Expedition) is experiencing the problems detailed in the recall. Why isn't my vehicle part of this recall, shouldn't the recall be expanded to all 2015 Expeditions experiencing problems with faulty back-up cameras?

Problem has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. 5. Sometimes the message comes up backup camera not working.

THE BACKUP CAMERA BECOMES BLURRY AND SILL DISTORTED. WHY ARE ONLY NEW FORD EXPEDITIONS RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM? THIS PROBLEM STARTED JUST OVER A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE AND I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I TRY NOT TO RELY ON THIS AMD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES, AND IT DOES NOT PROPERLY WORK. SOMETIMES IT DOES AND SOMETIMES IT IS SO BLURRY AND DISTORTED I CAN NOT TELL IF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS BEHIND MY VEHICLE. IT IS WHEN I BACK UP THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS.

WHEN PULLING OUT INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A DIVIDED FOUR LANE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE ALMOST CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE WAS LATER TO BE DETERMINED P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR A CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK CLOSED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE FORD 3.5 ECOBOOST MOTOR HAS QUITE A HISTORY OF THESE TYPE FAILURES. OFTEN DRIVER SAFETY IS COMPROMISED AS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WILL LOSE POWER JUST WHEN YOU NEED IT. THE FIX IS TO INSTALL A NEW THROTTLE BODY WITH ELECTRONIC ACTUATOR.
