Your 2016 Ford Escape has multiple issues that haven't been repaired. The rear-view camera displays a distorted or unavailable image when backing up, which blocks your view and makes it unsafe to reverse. The front passenger seat belt won't retract properly after unbuckling. Additionally, your engine recently stalled with the check engine light on, and afterward you noticed a strong fuel smell coming through the air vents and an unusually low oil level, suggesting excessive oil consumption. These issues require a dealer inspection to diagnose the camera malfunction, seat belt mechanism, engine stalling, and oil leak or burning problem.
