2019 Kia Niro Driver Assist & ADAS Problems

The rear backup camera works intermittent, checked wiring and still having issues, could cause backing issues for people that don't use their mirrors

WHEN WE ARE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE ALARM BEEPS/CHIRPS A WARNING. OUR VEHICLE IS STOPPED, NOT MOVING AT ALL. THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, OR NEXT TO US IS ALSO STOPPED, NOT MOVING. OUT OF NOWHERE, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE LIGHT BEEPS CAUSING US TO BE CONCERNED THAT WE MIGHT GET INTO A COLLISION. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF US IS A TESLA, MERCEDES OR OTHER HIGH END CAR, BUT ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF US IS NOT A TYPICAL HIGH END BRAND. THIS SAFETY CONCERN HAPPENS RANDOMLY, NOT EVERYTIME WE ARE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WE HAVE DOCUMENTED THIS WITH A VIDEO AND PROVIDED THIS TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE WITHOUT EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS FROM KIA ENGINEERS ON WHAT THEY SHOULD DO. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT IN, THEY CLEANED THE CAMERA LENS ON THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, BUT THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM, ONLY ONE WAY TO ELIMINATE AN EASY FIX. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND THE SERVICE WRITERS TOLD US THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND KIA SHOULD HAVE A FIX, BUT IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 1 YEAR SINCE OUR INITIAL COMPLAINT. I HAVE ESCALATED THIS CONCERN TO HIGHER LEVELS WITHIN KIA AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OR TRY TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM.

My backup camera works intermittently, it has been tested at the dealership and supposed to be faulty, but if faulty why does it sometimes work, this causes danger when reversing the vehicle! The dealership wants $821 to replace the camera, I feel it should be a recall, as a whole bunch of Ford vehicles are recalled for the same issue! I have had several close calls even using my mirrors and looking over my shoulder, as the car has big blind spots!
