2015 Ford Mustang Visibility Problems

My vehicle had a recall: Ford recall 22S06 involves 2015-2017 Ford Mustangs due to a potential issue with the rearview camera. The wiring for the rearview camera may be loose or damaged, causing the camera to display a blank or distorted image. This can reduce the driver's visibility behind the vehicle, potentially increasing the risk of a crash. The dealership at Ford Chapman Automobile claims the issue is fixed but they never fixed anything on my backup camera. It was blinking and they said it is normal for this vehicle. My backup camera is not working and they are refusing to fix it. I have contacted Ford but they also refer to the report from the dealership and say according to the dealership the problem is fixed and there is nothing that could do. My car has very limited visibility and this causes problems when backing up.

The evap core is known be a faulty part on these cars. It makes it unsafe to drive due to visibility from fogged up windows without it working properly.

The backup camera on my 2015 Mustang GT has been intermittently going out leaving a blank screen or a failed image on the dash display saying I need to contact Ford. I have been notified of a recall by the manufacturer on my particular vehicle. However, after taking my car in they said the recall span as determined by Ford apparently does not include my particular car, even though mine was manufactured in the middle of the production years 2015 - 2017. My car persists in having this issue and the wiring at the trunk lid appears defective and the insulation is split. The problem is intermittent and random. There were no incidents but some close calls. Calls to customer service say there is an active recall on my vehicle.

The ac on my mustang has gone out 3 times causing my windshield to fog up and making it very hard to see through. From my understanding Ford already knows about this problem and the defective ac compressor and evap. I have been having problems with the ac since 20 thousand miles. I also have oil leaking onto my driver side floorboard from a bad master slave cylinder. This also started around 20 thousand miles and Ford did not want to warranty it even though the car was still under manufacture warranty. They said that it doesn’t fall under power tran warranty which does not make sense. This makes it unsafe to drive when your foot becomes slippery from oil. I also have rust all over my hood that Ford did not want to cover under their 5 year paint warranty. Very disappointed by Ford and the low quality product they knowingly put out.

THE EVAPORATOR CORE HAS BEEN NOTATED IN A SERVICE BULLETIN AS BEING FAULTY. THIS MERELY CAUSES THE A/C TO NOT WORK EFFICIENTLY AT FACE VALUE. THE REAL ISSUE IS THE INABILITY TO PROPERLY DEFOG/DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO POOR VISIBILITY THAT IS NOT CONTROLLABLE BY THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE.

THE REARVIEW CAMERA WILL INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAY A BLANK OR DISTORTED IMAGE. WHEN PLACING THE CAR IN REVERSE THE CAMERA WILL INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAY A BLANK SCREEN OR DISTORTED IMAGE WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE. THIS REDUCES THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF WHAT IS BEHIND THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT MY 2020 FORD MUSTANG GT VIN [XXX] HAS JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR. THE CAMERA BEGAN TO FAIL THE SUMMER OF 2020. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
