REAR VIEW CAMERA IS MALFUNCTIONING. RANDOMLY WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THIS PREVENTS YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO USE THE HANDS FREE PHONE SYSTEM. UNABLE TO MAKE IT DUPLICATE IT WHEN TAKE IT TO DEALER. HOWEVER, I DID GET IT ON VIDEO. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS AN UPDATE AND THAT THEY LOADED THE UPDATE TO THE COMPUTER. HOWEVER, IT CONTINUES TO DO IT. JUST STARTED THIS A COUPLE DAYS AGO. THE VEHICLE IS OVER ONE YEAR OLD. IT HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND/OR IN MOTION.
