Engine Shutdown While Driving
2005 Ford Escape (Page 1 of 2)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
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 (!!)

Bought car used, 117,551 miles 8/08/18. Trusted Ford as American car maker but have had constant problems which I have been fixing, & scrambling for rides to work. Very disappointed in car & it being TOTALLY unreliable.
After reading these comments, I fear driving it, if it starts. My daily drive is turnpike 70 mph. Replaced rail sensor (code it threw) fuel relay, fuel filter, and fuel pump. Morning after I installed pump, started & shut off again. Borrowed a car AGAIN. All the issues pointed @ a PATS problem. Used a different key next day, drove to work,home & out to run errands. .Started up to drive home started & chugged, stepping on gas has no effect. Cant afford to keep struggling with issues. Who buys a car to keep dumping cash into it & burdening people for rides?????? No wonder there has been one the parking lot where my co-worker picks me up..... w/flat tire for a month. How to ditch your carrrrr. Go to another state & leave it there.
Thanks FORD, I certainly wont believe in American made cars..Made a point to buy American, what a let down...Yes Ford should be held responsible for not backing the manufacturing and letting down a lot of trusting people. Im sure some people have been insured but are still unaware of cars deadly issues....FORD U SUCK!!!!!
