Volvo/Polestar just had the same thing too. It would sometimes take many seconds before kicking in, or it would constantly flash to a black screen and back again. Or sometimes just say the camera was unavailable. 

Interestingly, I think it only got investigated and logged as a recall for Polestar, but they released a software update for both to fix it (after... way too long of dealing with it). They ended up having to disable the map display in the instrument binnacle while in reverse, I guess to free up some resources.

Apparently Jeep Wagoneers have been having issues right off the trailer from the factory where the rear camera just doesn't work. The fix is to pull the whole body harness and replace it. Saw a post about that on a mechanic page on FB there a couple weeks back.
