When reverse gear is selected: The rear backup camera stop providing rear view. It sometime is a blank screen or reports rear camera is not available. With out the camera working as designed reverse collisions may not be avoided. I did contact the local ford dealer and they advised it was not a warranty issue. No other warning lights display.
