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 (!!)

ABS and 4WD light keeps coming on in my 2005 Ford Escape. Had the brake sensor replaced and the Tone Ring replaced. But the lights are still coming on. I have new tires, brakes, rotors. What else is going to go wrong. I can't seem to get the lights cleared. And I am tired of paying to put it on the diagnostic machine. I think Ford should fix this problem for FREE.
