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 (!!)
On top of recurring coils, plugs, computer failure..............the rear differential is going.......now its not related but knowing the other problem is a money pit, black hole that you will never be done with NOT to mention dangerous because the vehicle could just shut off at any given moment without warning ANYWHERE ANYTIME ...........its not worth fixing!!!!!!!! JUST FYI to those who don't know........just like I didn't!!!!!!!
