Several factors could be causing the backup camera to not function properly on a 2014 Ford Flex. Users have reported a software glitch that interrupts the camera signal. To troubleshoot, access the camera settings and disable the delay, parking aid alert, and guidelines settings. Engage Reverse to check if the camera is working again. If it is, reactivate the settings. However, this may only provide a temporary solution since the issue could resurface the next time the car is started. Additionally, a faulty connection or damaged connector may be preventing the camera from working.
2014 Ford Flex owners might experience problems with the backup camera, such as a sudden loss of the video feed. To fix this, check the wiring and try resetting the car's software.
One year after purchase, my camera began displaying lines and eventually went completely black for two years. The message instructed me to contact the dealer. This issue seems to be common among all Ford models from 2011 to 2018. When I took it to the dealer, they informed me that there was no recall as it was considered a luxury feature. I argued that as per my contract, I paid for a "working rear camera," which constitutes a breach of contract. The problem is apparently related to a wireless Microsoft issue and will cost $800 to repair. After contacting Ford, they mentioned that a recall is expected in late 2022.
