AT JUST UNDER 60,000 MILES, THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA STOPPED WORKING, RESULTING IN A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE BACKING UP. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE, BUT IT'S COMMONLY IN THE STEREO HEAD UNIT, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND WOULD NOT LOOK AT IT AS THEY SAID IT'S COSTLY , UP TO $800 TO REPLACE THE HEAD UNIT.
