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 (!!)

I bought this car back in 2013. it had 52000 miles and it was a decent car (definitely not worth the 12k I'm paying on it, but i needed a car and this was my dream vehicle). I had work done on it that came out to almost 1800 bucks now the transmission is slipping and I'm 100% positive that it had nothing to do with normal wear and tear. I want to know if this is a factory defect and who I can hold responsible. I've emailed ford and I'm awaiting a response. Anybody had a similar issue? what was your verdict?
