More than likely it’s an exhaust bracket. Rubber pieces tend to break due to constant movement.

Could just be your exhaust system. It gets extremely hot and expands. When the engin is shut off it will immediately begin to cool which also means it wil shrink back to its original size.

It sounds like the exhaust insulator is broken this is a rubber part that holds the exhaust system steady and if it's broken the tailpipe is bouncing up and hitting the chassis there's a couple of them at the muffler and at the very end where the tailpipes are, otherwise you may have a broken bushing on a rear control arm but I don't think so but check it out , most likely it's the exhaust insulator

SOURCE: Stalling when letting up on gas

I just had the same problem with my 2001 Escape- replaced the fuel filter, no help. Turns out I needed to replace the idle air valve. It took 5 minutes, and I'm back up and running!

SOURCE: 2003 Ford Escape leaking red fluid

Sounds like you need a new power steering hose. To verify this, I would dry up any wet areas on the hose and pump with a towel, get a flashlight and start the vehicle and try to determine the exact site of the leak which is usually at the ends of the hoses. Good luck!

SOURCE: Where is the release for the gas tank on the Ford

Maybe you means FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

This switch is located in the front

passenger's footwell, behind a

flip-up cover, by the kick panel

access cover.

To reset the switch:

1. Turn the ignition to the off

position.

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.

3. If no leaks are apparent, reset the

switch by pushing in on the reset

button.

4. Turn the ignition to the on

position.

5. Wait a few seconds and return

the key to the off position.
6. Make another check for leaks.

SOURCE: I have a 2004 Ford

If your truck has the 4.6 or 5.4 V8 then you know it has two timing chains. The lifters could be causing the knocking noise. If it sounds like it's coming from the top then I would suspect lifters. If it sounds like it's coming from the bottom of the engine then I would suspect main or rod bearings.

2005 Ford Escape 3 liter, V6, engine knocks while running and increases knocking under acceleration. Maintains power and doesn't miss. Sounds like bottom end or valve train.

Your main and rod bearings are worn and need to be replaced. Continuing to drive in this condition will only damage your engine further.

My 2001 ford escape suv doesn't go more than 40 miles p.h. when i mean to go faster

Is the engine revving high at 40mph? If so then chances are the trans has not shifted. Is engine very sluggish, or won't rev high, possibly with a hissing sound? If so then you may have a restricted exhaust system.

I have a 2002 ford escape with a knock in the bottom end, sounds like a hollow knock, main or rod I don't know but I want to change all the bearings. Do I have to pull the engine or can I do it from...

you need to pull the engine. and a bearing will not cause a knock. if it is a base engine knock you probably have a broken push rod, but it is always good to make sure its not just your catalytic converters knocking

Vehicle won't start

Sounds like they shorted out. or got water in the ign. coils These individual coils are very tempermental on these models. Dialectric grease helps on all connectors but doesnt always prevent moisture shorting out electrical parts.
