2018 FORD EXPEDITION
Filed Jul 16, 2026
The infotainment screen that includes the rear backup camera stopped working intermittently and then completely.

The backup camera is a significant and necessary safety feature for such a large vehicle. The dealer ordered the new part and replaced it at significant expense. There was no warning of this issue, and the only symptom was the intermittent delay of the infotainment system…

If I do not let off of the gas immediately, it is followed by a loud metallic rattling/ grinding noise. If I release the accelerator, it recovers quickly and seems to “reset” and I’m able drive…
