I can’t get my camera to format a card I have and I’ve tried multiple cards I can’t get it to work
Is there any suggestions
Sorry, but I had to wonder which "camera car" you might have,
and if you meant "car camera" of some sort . . . .

Does your camera format other cards?
At first, I was thrown off that you were asking about a car.
Have you tried using the unnamed card in the unnamed camera without formatting? Does it store photos? I just pop my cards in the slot and shoot.
You could also format the card through the computer too.
If I fill a card I download the photos to my computer. I don’t format the card and reuse it. I just buy extra cards when ever they are on sale.
Just format the card on your computer. That’s what the card makers suggest

What camera are you using?
Is the card maybe locked?
If it's a CF card, look in the card slot for any bent pins.
For those who didn't get past the title!
OP stated, I have and I’ve tried multiple cards

The CF Card pins love to bow down and remain bent. That is why I don’t Spend more than $10 on a card reader.

might be referring?

That's how I found out which camera he was having a problem with.
You might have checked, instead of commenting first?????

I am inclined to believe it is a simple fix. More than anything else may need to have the camera and card brought in for repair. Repairing a memory card is not very economical.

Don’t you think it would be wise (and helpful) for someone asking for assistance to provide pertinent information along with the request?
