I own a 2015 Ford Police Interceptor/Taurus that is affected by Ford safety recall 25SA9 / NHTSA Recall 25V695 regarding the rearview/backup camera. My vehicle is currently experiencing the condition described in the recall. The backup camera is not functioning properly, which means I do not have the intended rear visibility when backing up. I contacted Ford and attempted to have the recall addressed. Ford informed me that there is currently no remedy available for my vehicle, so the recall cannot be completed at this time. Ford has opened a case regarding my situation, but I have also been informed that they cannot provide me with a loaner vehicle while I wait for a remedy. This a dangerous situation because I have three young children in my house so backing out of my driveway is extremely dangerous. I also work in a school where I can god forbid hit someone because of the defect. My concern is that this is an acknowledged safety recall, my vehicle is actually experiencing the recalled condition, and there is currently no way for me to have Ford correct the problem. I am submitting this complaint so that NHTSA is aware that an affected vehicle is currently experiencing the recalled camera failure while no recall remedy is available. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance NHTSA can provide regarding Ford's obligation to provide a timely remedy. Ford Case Number: cxh-09355060-x0z1y6

I seen that you are looking into the timing issues on Ford vehicles, My 2015 Taurus had its timing chain replaced just last Christmas 2025 that cost me over $6,000 to repair, I would not be even saying anything about this but my wifes 2014 Ford Edge did the same thing just 3 month before mine where we paid over $3,000 to try and fix but failed to fix so we just purchased her a new car, but with mine I could not afford another car payment so we just ended up fixing my Taurus, it had to go back twice to get it right but that is after $6,000 to fix. They said this is because of oil change issues but we always had our oil changed on time every time at the Ford dealership in my area. The dealer I took mine to for repairs told me also if the oil filter did not get replaced with the oil change this could cause this issue so I am assuming that this is the issue the dealership we were taking both our cars to for oil changes may have not been replacing the oil filter everytime we got it done. If there is anything I can do to recoup the loss I took on this please let me know. I can provide invoices if needed

This is in regards to Recall 25SA9. Ford has had ample time to come up with a solution, and it has been almost nine months since the recall was announced. The backup camera on my 2015 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan gets very grainy at night when backing into my driveway, causing an extremely dangerous situation when backing into my driveway, as it is very hard to see the image of the driveway with the grainy video from the backup camera.

The fuel gauge in my 2015 Taurus/Interceptor is showing inaccurate fuel levels; it will show there is less fuel in the tank than there actually is, causing me to think I am possibly going to run out of fuel. Example: I will fill the fuel tank when the gauge reads 3/4, which should be around 5 gallons of fuel used. The amount of fuel being put in the tank is significantly less than what the fuel gauge shows.

Reading this record

Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
