At Approximately 77,700 miles my Backup Camera is starting to fail intermittently. when I go to start the car and put it in reverse the screen will just show black and some static bars might show up and later on when I go to reverse again it usually works then but now sometimes it may not, yet my vehicle is not covered under the 2 separate recalls affecting the backup camera though I also have not had time to contact my local dealer about it giving its difficult nature to reproduce the issue..
