20250902BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
The infotainment of my car is not working. The problem with this is that the infotainment is tied to the backup camera, which makes the backup camera non functional when attempting to back up. I will take this in to get serviced soon, but in it's current form, my vehicle is not complying with the requirement to have a backup camera. I uploaded a video of the infotainment not working and the backup camera not working to youtube since I can't attach it here: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
