 The rear obstacle sensor included in this '05 ford freestyle has a slow response time before it sounds the warning tones, and can allow the driver to hit an obstacle in back of the vehicle. in this case, the vehicle hit a car behind it while backing, and the alam did not sound until the contact had occurred. *nm
