Your rear camera display shows only a black screen and isn't working. The problem started intermittently but has now become constant, preventing you from using the backup camera feature. Fixing this will likely involve diagnosing the camera connection, wiring, or the camera unit itself, and may require replacement of the camera or its associated components.

Your backup camera stopped working properly — when you put your car in reverse, the screen only showed lines instead of a clear image of what's behind you. This creates a safety risk since you can't see what's in your blind spot when backing up. An independent mechanic confirmed the camera itself is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Your backup camera system went completely black while your wife was reversing, leaving no video feed on the display. The dealer was notified but hasn't diagnosed or repaired the issue yet. This safety feature is designed to help prevent accidents when backing up, so getting it fixed should be a priority.

Whenever I am close to a Tesla in traffic or at a stoplight, my parking sensors go off. I believe that the frequency of my Sonata parking sensors is being interfered with by Tesla sensors. This could lead to unexpected braking in traffic. This problem has not been reproduced by a dealer or independent service center. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Warning sensors go off.
