Backup camera scrolling on a Ford Edge Sport 2011

[ZZedge]

The Backup Camera on my new Ford Edge Sport 2011 will scroll at times - doesn't happen all the time, however, when it does, it goes away after i shut the engine and restart. Has anyone else experienced this intermittent issue and know the cause of it?

YES.

 

It happened once on my Limited, a few weeks ago.

Shut it off, came back a few minutes later, and problem went away.

Took it to the dealer, and they basically were useless - saying if it wouldn't do it for them they couldn't help.

 

Only happened the one time, though.

I had the scrolling issue a couple of times on my 11 Limited

EDIT:

Make that 3 times

My Limited did the same thing yesterday. Just like a Microsoft PC, I shut the car off, and re-started, and the camera was back to normal.

Here's what the future may hold if Ford continues to put so much Microsoft software in their cars:

 

1. For no reason at all, your car would crash twice a day.

 

2. Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.

 

3. Occasionally, executing a manoeuver such as a left-turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, and you would have to reinstall the engine.

 

4. When your car died on the freeway for no reason, you would just accept this, restart and drive on.

 

5. Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought 'Car95' or 'CarNT', and then added more seats.

 

6. Apple would make a car powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would run on only five per cent of the roads.

 

7. Oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single 'general car default' warning light.

 

8. New seats would force every-one to have the same size butt.

 

9. The airbag would say 'Are you sure?' before going off.

 

10. Occasionally, for no reason, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grabbed the radio antenna.

 

11. Ford would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of road maps from Rand-McNally (a subsidiary of GM), even though they neither need them nor want them. Trying to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50 per cent or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.

 

12. Every time Ford introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

 

13. You would press the 'start' button to shut off the engine.

this is awesome - I especially love the "are you sure" for the airbag...
