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 (!!)

Took vehicle for oil change. Advised by local dealer that both Rear Axle Seals are leaking and will have to be replaced. Estimate $534.96 covered by our extended warranty but with $100.00 deductible. Have owned many vehicles before and never had to replace the Seals. The vehicle has never been used in the Off road capacity, have found out from this site that it is not uncommon for Ford's to have this problem.
