2005 Ford Escape Engine cooling Problems

“Was pulling away from a stop light and vehicle wouldn't go over 20 MPH but no check engine light is on, it's not high idling or over heating. A week prior the check engine light was on and was told I had a mis fire on a cylinder and I replaced the spark plug and ignition coil and the engine light went off.”

“I was headed home from work and got on the free way I noticed when I would accelerate my car would start shaking. I called my mechanic and he said to try and make it home when my car died twice but luckily I was able to get it started again to make it home. I got a diagnostics done on it to find out that the computer had burnt out along with 4 of the 6 coils.”

“My cars computer (PCM) and four out of six coils burnt out due to faulty plugs I'm told. I was on the interstate when my cars engine just cut off and had to try and roll away from traffic without power steering. Ford has known about this problem and hasn't made a recall yet. It is costing me over 2000 dollars to get fixed and I've been reading that it has happened to other people multiple times. I could have been seriously injured.”

“My car went to shop for exhaust repair when the front y pipe was removed my mechanic saw a large hole rusted through the frame(front engine cradle).frame was repaired by welding it. The rest of car frame appeared ok. Car only has 80k miles and is well maintained. This shouldn't have happened. Not there has been a recall on 2004 and earlier Ford escapes for the same problem I feel the 2005 should be included in this recall as its obvious to me they have the same problems.”

“While driving 70mph on freeway on way to hospital, getting off freeway, the vehicle shut off by itself. Luckily I was able to pull off road to avoid getting hit. If still on freeway, would have been killed. Engine light came on and unable to restart. Had to have towed to dealership due to computer shutdown affecting spark plugs and coils. Cost to me from dealership is $2200.”
