CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005 Escape has problems where the engine shuts down while driving. Ford finally issued a September 2014 recall. Time will tell if the recall fix really solves the problem.

However the 2005 Escape also has a defect where the PCM (Power Control Module) fries at around 100k miles. Ford extended the PCM warranty to 80,000 miles, but only after most owners were past the mileage limit. Now owners are on the hook for the average repair cost of over $2,000 (!!)

Blower for heater/AC stops blowing when I press the accelerator. When I let off the gas, the blower returns to operation after a few seconds. Dealer says probably covered under the extended warranty, depending on what they determine to be the cause. Probably will have it fixed in the Spring.
