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 (!!)

This has happened briefly off and on over the last year; some repairs were done, gasket replaced?
It began happening again but briefly; however today it just stuck and wouldn't go up or down for several minutes while I was in middle of arterial road...very dangerous! Luckily it was so early little traffic. After several pumps and tries it finally started working again and I got home.
It is a Saturday and no one open or available to fix today and I work next week!
Very dangerous problem. I never got any recall info on it. I see per internet complaints lots of complaints on this for 2005 model year Ford Escape.
