2015 Ford Escape UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The transmission just failed. No warning lights or anything. I was just driving along and it started to flutter then it hesitated and went into limp mode. Took it to the shop and it they said it needs a whole new transmission.

Upon putting car in reverse backup camera screen shows upside picture. Upon putting car in reverse backup camera screen goes completely black Being a senior driver the backup camera system is a huge safety necessity

The rear-view camera hasn't worked for several months. I was going to get it repaired until I received the recall letter in October of 2025. I use this when backing up and need to see how far from the vehicle behind me is. Just curious, how long before this has been resolved?

A few months ago I received a letter in the mail concerning my vehicles backup camera being requested for a recall and that a replacement will be sent over. At this time I still don’t have the replacement backup camera.

The rear view camera on my vehicle has not worked for months. 99% of the time I reverse, camera is blacked out and says to visit dealership. The 1% that it works, half the time it'll show an inverted view. This is related to recall 25SA9/25V695. Parts have been unavailable since October 2025. I explained this to Ford Customer Service and they advised me to take it to a dealership to get it repaired and look for reimbursement once parts are available. This suggests dealers can source replacement cameras when customers pay out of pocket, but Ford is not prioritizing free recall repairs, leaving owners with a known safety defect for months.

Back up camera and block heater I’m waiting to get it fixed but the parts doesn’t come in how come

Back up camera does not work at times screen is black when vehicle is in reverse, other times camera display is working. This problem started around June 0f 2025

My car's backup camera screen goes blue then black with message saying camera unavailable when I am in the middle of backing up my car. I literally almost hit a family passing at grocery store because of this. I bought this car this year in February from Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet. Please help fix this because It's scary to almost get in accidents daily. Not to mention my insurance would sky rocket.

The backup camera in my vehicle displays an inverted and distorted image, identical to the defect described in Ford’s existing recall. However, my vehicle has been excluded from that recall, and Ford has refused to repair the issue. This defect creates a significant safety hazard by impairing rear visibility and making backing up more dangerous. Because federal law requires a functional backup camera in this type of vehicle, I believe my vehicle should be included in the recall and repaired by Ford.

The back up assist camera only works part of the time. It will come on for a few seconds and then go off.

The back up camera is distorted, upside down, or shows not available. I believe this year of Ford escape should be included in the current recall.

Rear view camera image is inverted and as I've been driving over 40 years, it's a nice feature, but after seeing all the recalls for this issue and mine is not included yet has failed in a similar way.

Rear backup camera malfunctioning. Inverts image and sometimes blanks out. Dangerous in parking lots. Have not contacted dealer since warranty is expired. Has not been inspected. No warnings or messages before problem started. Started several months ago.

The rear camera is malfunctioning!! It shows a blue screen!! Hasn't complete stopped working! A recall was released yesterday and the recall fits the description of what my vehicle is doing! My vehicle was not listed! This started about a month ago!

The transmission went out on the vehicle.

The backup camera constantly inverts when in use.

This complaint form is in regards to the backup camera. In the last six months I had intermittent loss of its function while backing up. However the problem in the last month is now a persistent loss of the image when backing up. It may function at the start of going in reverse, then all of the sudden it will go out. This is scary for the first thought is you hit something, even if you didn't hear any noise. I greatly rely on the camera for I always try to back into parking spots. It will happen in any type weather, sometimes the screen just does not change, other times it may just be black, and other times will have a yellow triangle warning that it is not working properly. I have not had any incidents or accidents which may have caused the camera to malfunction.

The back up camera is not functioning. It’s very distorted. Very difficult to see what is behind me when backing up. I took the car to a mechanic and he said he wasn’t able to fix it.

The back up camera has been switching on and off, and now is inoperable.

As soon as I put my car in reverse the camera goes upside down or black.

The transmission although it was well maintained it failed. Began to shutter the car and no acceleration which meant it was basically undrivable considering how unreliable these transmissions are I’m not surprised it stopped working

I was stopped at a stop light and when it turned green and I stepped on the gas the engin reved up but the car would not move. I looked down to see if the gear shift had been moved and when I saw it had not I stepped on the gas again and this time slowly moved and then jerked to a stop. I stepped on the gas again and it started rolling and the spead up so that it peeled out and then jerked to a stop again. I was right by a Les Swab and very slowly was able to pull into their parking lot. I had just had my breaks done and thought maybe something went wrong with them. They checked and said it was the transmission. I was afraid to try to drive it so I towed it home. After seeing other Ford Escape transmissions haveing issues and being recalled I wanted to report this. It sounds just like the complaints that are listed for the recalled transmissions. After checking with a local transmission shop they told me they had replaced 3 of these transmissions in the last month. So I know a lot of people do not look into this kind of stuff but I want someone to know this was very scary for me and if there had been another car close to me there could have been a accident.

My stereo screen went blank and I had a new stereo installed but was told the rear camera in my vehicle is defective and was under recall. When I checked with Ford, I was advised my particular vehicle did not qualify. Also, my instrument panel just went blank. This is a serious safety issue as I cannot see my milage or what gear I'm in. This vehicle needs to be a part of the ongoing recall for rear view camera and the dash should be looked into further as well

Backup camera - this vehicle not included in the recall as is having all the same issues blank screen - inverted screen - works sometimes - this has been an issue for some time and I contacted the ford dealer I use who states the repair is over 400. and do not know why this vehicle has not been included in the recall.

While driving the vehicle started acting like it was out of gas and the transmission light came on and the car wouldn’t go or crank back up
