So far the camera has been replaced (under warranty) but that didn't fix it. From what CRM102B said, it seems that the cabling is the likely culprit. Has anyone else had this issue, and can let me know exactly what was replaced to fix it, so I can let my dealer know. Thanks!
Yes, you'll need to replace the HSD cable (~$220) that goes from the camera to control unit under the steering wheel. It's a possible DIY, but involves a lot of trim work.
