One problem related to spare tire has 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.
My newly purchased Ford Freestyle developed a flat, pulled to side of road and replaced with spare donut supplied by Ford. Upon installation and start of driving with spare donut, within 1/4 mile the speedometer went to zero9no registration) , the rpm gauge worked, the antilock ,trac control lights came on. Driving was allowable without no speedometer, confidence of safe driving with spare tire. I believe Ford purposely provided irregular tire to cut costs. They should have had full size replacement to balance and regulate computer for new vehicle.
