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 (!!)
Help the key doesn't come out of the ignition switch problem is intermittent some times I have to wait 15 min to an hour for the key to release. I never know when this is going to happen of how long for it to release. I dont like the idea of putting a rag around the steering wheel and leaving the car. what is the fix thank you
