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 (!!)

It's a dam shame that Ford does not stand behind it's vehicles. "F" found "O" on "R" road "D" dead. It's so true.. I will never purchase another anything Ford again. I am telling people I know not to buy it also.
The Ford Co. gave me a really hard time when my CPU fried in my vehicle while I was driving it. The whole vehicle could have caught fire with my son in the car. Now the alternator went again, just replaced it in 2010.
