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 (!!)
My sun roof just starting not working. Motor runs, it tries to open/close but nothing happened. Took to shop and they said Ford does not make replacement wire/part and that I would need a whole new sunroof. At first
I was just going to let it go, but then soon found out that when it rains/snows I now have a leak and head liner gets wet. I am now going to have to replace the whole thing at about $800 to $1,000 for part and labor.

This is bull that a replacement part is not made.
