[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 15428408, member: 15703"] I mean, I know you're upset with it's functionality, but what exactly do you want Ford to do? You purchased the car used and it's well past it's first year of ownership, so it doesn't come close to qualifying for a lemon law. It's outside, or very near outside of it's warranty, and you have Ford and others in here stating this is fairly normal. If the backup camera is of incredible importance to you, there are many aftermarket units that are probably better. Most of what you're seeing comes from the fact that it's a crappy low quality CCD in an even crappier housing that's designed primarily not to break within a warranty period while being subject to outside uncontrolled environments. Then it has to pass through the bean counters. The camera as a result sucks, period. You could replace it with another factory unit, but it would probably...still suck. If backup camera clarity at night is important to you, put high powered LED's in your reverse lights. Since you're worried about safety, this adds to it by making your camera fidelity clearer, providing better lighting for you as the driver reversing and also being more noticeable to others. If that's still not good enough, buy a better camera from the aftermarket. [/QUOTE]
