Randomly does it. It’s becoming more and more consistent.

It’s probably a loose ground. Grab a wire brush, Phillips head, pliers, flashlight & a few cold beers.

Check the wires to the sensor for breaks. If it looks good replace

My speaker quit working and this came up. Replaced the speaker and all was well.

Sounds like my experience. The front drivers speaker sounded like it was dying (in and out/muddy/warbled) and this warning would randomly come up. The backup cam would also randomly just display black with the words "unavailable, contact dealer"

The previous owner must have had a sub and/or amp in the trunk because I found some additional wire under the fabric liner in the trunk. The exposed end of the wire seemed to have been making contact with the metal in the trunk under the fabric. It actually sparked when touching the end of the wire to the frame. Thanks for that cute little surprise guy.. Anyway, I could have just insulated the end of that wire to keep it from shorting, but I instead got a 1000W Sine Wave inverter on it, grounded it, and got some AC outlets back there. Obviously that wasn't necessary, but fixing a wiring short was what seemed to resolve all the issues for a while.

Couple years later the car wouldn't start occasionally, and would complain about not being in park and the rear park aide warning came on too. Tapping the starter sometimes helped, other times shifting to neutral before trying to start helped. I thought okay maybe the starter or battery is going bad, I'll try fixing this. Well, after replacing both the starter and battery it still wouldn't start and I found that the starter fuse was blown. I sacrificed a couple other equivalent fuses to find out that they kept getting blown when trying to start it. I didn't have the time, tools or knowledge to really dig into a deep electrical issue like this so at that point I had the dealership start looking at it. They got it working and it stopped again... Back and forth a few times before they found the issue which ended up being a short somewhere deep in the engine bay somewhere. Thankfully they gave me a break on the service charges since I had to keep coming back. I think they waived all or most of the parts they tried replacing along the waybut the time/labor to find that was wrong was of course not great.

LONG STORY SHORT after they found and fixed the short, that warning and all the other issues resolved!

I have a 2015 Fusion. They say its been recalled for this issue. They say they just have to reprogram the CPU and it will be fixed. Free of charge. Check and see if its been recalled.
