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 (!!)

On the 2005 Escape the covers on rockers looked great, no signs of any issues, until it was washed and the rusted rocker panel started to fall out. Both rockers totally gone. The covers cover up the issues. It's a hidden flaw that no one sees until it's to late.
