Had system flashed- backup camera randomly went black and locked up. Works ok now. Lower left corner of dashboard around fuse panel not secured- was like that since I purchased car- likely due to not getting clips in place when airbag was replaced during recall while car was on lot before sale. Fixed in 10 minutes.
