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 (!!)
After getting off the interstate the car felt like I was driving over rumble strip again. launch forward tried to start it a couple times and it died I finally started it and just floored it and took off like that it's a good thing no one was coming on the road in front of me because I probably would've T-boned them however that is the only way to get it moving once it dies know
