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 (!!)

Well, it was making a loud squealing noise for 3 days, now it won't start at all. I spent $125 on a battery, another $120 on a new alternator. Plus tow. It still doesn't run. So, I am super irritated. I wish I did not buy this truck. Only 9 payments left and it is in the garage collecting dust. I have multiple problems. Windows, A/C, Alarm, Electrical System and now it just doesn't start.
