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 front passenger side sub frame is so rusted, it is broken in half and the wheel is moving back and forth, about to fall off the car. The whole subframe would need to be replaced, but it's not worth it, because the car also has a failing transmission and lots of rust elsewhere.
