I've had this issue from day one (two weeks today) but I haven't brought it back yet because I was looking for anything else to add to the list. I haven't found anything else that doesn't appear to work as advertised.
The rear camera works in reverse but there is only one view, wide, I think.
The side cameras seem to work fine.
When I press the camera button, I get this:
Selecting the side cameras. Looks okay to me, AFAIK.
When in Reverse. Notice, nothing displays on the overhead view.
The front camera does not work at all. I think I'm supposed to have two views - normal and wide.
It might not be an unusual problem because the manual alludes to it on page 514.
An error message is displayed while the surround view camera system is in use. - Do not use the surround view camera system and
contact a dealer.
All fixed. They had to replace a module above the rear view mirror mount. Or som'p'n'. But it appears to work as advertised in the manual.
One thing I notice that's odd about the surround view system in my Advance package vs. the multi-view rear system in the Tech package I was loaned. In the surround view display, the rear camera shows a top-down view with no distortion or aberration. But you can't select that view either in reverse nor from the camera button. In the multi-view rear system, you can select between wide view and top down on the rear. I think that would be useful when backing up to something close. Better than the parking sensors which just goes increasingly nuts as you get closer to something.
But like I said, it appears to work as advertised, so I'm happy.
For the surround camera system on Advance, I think you select "ground view" or "wide view" in reverse from the icons on the bottom of the screen, using the touch pad.
In other vehicles, I have found that the top-down view at the rear is very helpful for hooking up a large trailer. But my trailer has shrunk considerably in the past few years, so now it's just as easy to pick up the tongue and pull the silly thing. ( 19' sterndrive -> Yakima Rack-And-Roll with kayaks )

I have the same problem after one week. I took it in for them to install rear and front bumper accessories that I got and I think they broke my 360 camera system. I get the same camera system failure.
My rear view camera is now staying on for about 1/8 th mile before it goes away. What’s next?
This is a user-selectable option. After shifting out of reverse, the cameras will stay on in forward motion until about 15mph. I don't recall the menu path to reach this setting, but it's a feature, not a bug.
Ok, I will check this out. This just started happening, and I have changed nothing in the settings. I can’t think of a reason for this feature.
Let's say you're positioning the car in a tight space and want to see nearby obstacles when rolling forward too. Leaving the cameras on in this low-speed situation can be helpful. I enabled the feature when I first got the car because I wasn't used to the larger vehicle. I just left it on.
Now, this is assuming it's not just the rear camera that remains on when driving forward; it should then be front/side views. If it is just the rear camera, you do have a bug.
