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 (!!)

since then the check engine light came on, oxygen sensor(I have but haven't changed yet), but when you cold start it, it seems to run at too high of RPM's (1800) and then when it does warm up run's around 750-800 RPM just seems to sound loud all the time when running, rumble sound, I guess after driving a Ford Ranger 4.0L it's something to get used too,the Escape has the 3.0L engine
