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 (!!)

I know also that I said that this problem with the wheel well just recently came up but has been going on for some time now. After putting on new shocks thinking that this would solve the issue, it didn't, and I kept hearing a dead noise whenever I would go over a bump.
I just recently had this issue fixed after viewing Ford's website for recalls but after finding one for this issue and taking my car or SUV to the dealership in Matteson, but only to find out they said there wasn't any recalls for that issue, lol.
The shop that I took the car to did a really good job and made my car feel as if I was driving a new car. I know that my car is over 10 years old but it is one of the best cars that I have had, and if the people that are responsible for fixing the cars as they were trained to do and do what they should do, then a lot of the issues would be taken care of and there wouldn't be any reflection on the company's rep.
