This is in regards to Recall 25SA9. Ford has had ample time to come up with a solution, and it has been almost nine months since the recall was announced. The backup camera on my 2015 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan gets very grainy at night when backing into my driveway, causing an extremely dangerous situation when backing into my driveway, as it is very hard to see the image of the driveway with the grainy video from the backup camera.

The fuel gauge in my 2015 Taurus/Interceptor is showing inaccurate fuel levels; it will show there is less fuel in the tank than there actually is, causing me to think I am possibly going to run out of fuel. Example: I will fill the fuel tank when the gauge reads 3/4, which should be around 5 gallons of fuel used. The amount of fuel being put in the tank is significantly less than what the fuel gauge shows.

See attached document for complaint. I received the safety recall on my 2015 Ford Taurus in October 2025 and as of yet have not received any information related to parts availability. I am writing this letter because I do not wish to be forgotten and wish this recall issue to be resolved. It has been three months, soon to be four. The rearview camera issue started in 2024 with my vehicle. The camera displays distorted images and really needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Whenever you receive the remedy, could you please notify me by mail? Thanks in advance for your consideration in this matter.

Rear view camera or back up camera works very intermittently. Sometimes it comes on, then goes off. Doesn't come on other times. Next time you use it, it may come on. Then it may work for a week without issues. Obviously no picture allows potential for accidents. I have not taken it to the dealer as my son hasn't been able to afford the repair of replacing the camera which would be what they say. He has learned to not depend on it, until he can pay for new camera. When camera doesn't come up, there is a message about having dealer service it. I saw as I started this complaint, that it looks like there is a recall for this. Decided to continue just to report the issue itself

When putting my car in Reverse the back-up camera does not work properly. It either shows up and jumps screens to where you can't see anything behind you or make out what you're looking at. or the screen just goes black. It has not been looked at by anyone. There are no Warning lamps, signals or any other warning. The camera has been going in and out not working for over 6 months. I am worried that when backing up I might hit something or not see everything in view.

The Rear View Camera has not been working properly for 5-6 years. Sometimes it works to display what is behind he car and at other times there is a blank black screen displaying a message that it's not working. The vehicle is out of warranty, and my local auto mechanic informed me that the cost to investigate and repair it would be very expensive, and recommended against fixing it. It does pose a safety problem, but we have become diligent in looking carefully in the rear view mirror and directly by turning around to ensure that there is nothing behind the car. Also, the warning "beeps" still works when in reverse. I noted that Ford has had many previous recalls regarding the back-up cameras, and wonder how my car has not been included. Please check if there are any recalls that my vehicle would qualify for. Thank you.
