It might be that your shutter speed is too slow. Did you try with at least 1/60 of a sec?

Or, do you have a long lens with a hood on which might block the flash light?

plastic shutters break easily. Take off your lens and set function to clean sensor. Then watch to se if the shutter goes through full motion

It looks like the tyical result one gets when using a flash with the shutter speed set faster than the camera's x-sync (1/200 on the DRebel). If this happened at 1/160 sec., then there is either an obstruction blocking the light from the flash, or the shutter is faulty (in which case non-flash photos would also be affected).

What flash? Built-in or accessory (brand/model?).

What lens? Was there a hood mounted?

Does this happen only with flash photos?

The camera takes this kid of pic, even without the flash don`t matter what lens I use. I was using built in flash when this happened however.
