Two problems related to back up lights have been reported for the 2005 Ford Freestyle. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2005 Ford Freestyle based on all problems reported for the 2005 Freestyle.
While driving car at night lights on dashboard and instrument panel went out, abs light came on, headlights went out but backup lights came on while car was in drive. Turn signals did not work and radio went out. Car eventually lost all power.
When slightly raining, the light sensor seems to only work intermittently thereby not always turning on the lights in auto mode. This seems to be a problem only in rain during the day when the sensor has a hard time distinguishing when to turn on and when to turn off.
