Common problems and easy repairs on a 2005 Escape

The 2005 Ford Escape Limited is a moderately easy car to maintain but does have a handful of lengthy repairs. The fog lights and parking lights must be reached through the wheel well, which will require multiple rivets to be removed before the lining can be peeled back. The cabin air filter is located beneath multiple panels that will be time-consuming to remove. The spare tire is stored underneath the vehicle, running the risk of getting rusted to the undercarriage and becoming difficult to remove.

However, the 2005 Ford Escape Limited does have many high points. The battery is easy to find with an incredibly simple-to-remove bracket. The transmission fluid dipstick is quick to find and remove, with level markers that are simple to read. Its engine air filter requires no tools to access and the housing lifts up with ease.
