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 (!!)

Ford products are rust machines. The rear window was ready to fall out and it would have cost much more to fix.
The screws holding the windows just plain rust out. If someone would not have made me aware of this I would have lost the back window. The engineering on the Ford Escape 2001-20012 is horrible. These are repairs that should never happen. I would never ever go to dealer if my life depended on it. They screw the public beyond belief.
They don't give a sh*t that Ford is responsible. I don't care if I live in MI (where I do) or Florida--Ford never takes responsibility.
