Blind Spot Camera stopped functioning

So today on my 21 Sorento SX Prestige X-Line, I went to merge onto the highway as I do every day. This time I noticed, when the blinker was on, the left camera was not. Nor did it warn me with the standard audio alert that someone was in that lane. I found it odd as I have made no changes to the config of this feature, or any feature for that matter. So I hit my right blinker and have no right camera either. They worked in the morning, but not when I left work. So I went into the menus to insure everything was turned on and it was. I took a 360 degree photo and it showed those camera to be working fine. But blind spot monitoring simply is not.

Before I head to the dealer, any thoughts on this? I really don't want to do a full factory reset on the head unit because if it doesn't fix it, I've lost a lot of my custom settings. Thanks for your time!

This sounds pretty cut and dried to me - i.e., the dealer should be able to isolate the cause pdq, assuming of course it is still non-functional when you arrive! (these things can often be an intermittent and they start working ALWAYS at the wrong time, after which the dealer will tell you there is "no problem") o_O

Well I stopped by the dealer and they made an appointment. They wouldn't even look at it to see if it was something obvious so I have to wait a week. But thanx for your input! We'll see what they find. It still did it today so maybe it will fix itself in a week.
