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 (!!)

Power Steering line coupling that joins the pump failed and there are NO parts OEM or aftermarket in the USA. Could not even find one in a junk yard. Car is not fixable - my mechanic, a dealer and myself invested countless hours looking online, calling, etc. The car is done until a line can be found. I still cannot believe that Ford is not supporting such a "young" vehicle. We had planned on keeping this car another 5 years. So is this what it has come to? Automakers no longer supporting their vehicles like Apple no longer supports older iPhones and Microsoft no longer supports older versions of their operating systems? This is a freaking CAR! A very large ticket item! Disappointment is not a large enough word to express our feelings.
