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 (!!)
The ceiling peeled off my headliner. Tried to reglue just keeps falling down. You have to keep visor up to keep it out of your face. The outside of my car looks great, the inside looks like sh*t. Took it to a ford dealer, they wanted $130 and 2 hours just to look at it. Then told me it would cost $600 plus labor. There was a recall on this, but they said my car didn't qualify. Please tell me how to get this fixed. I don't want to get into an accident because I can't see.
