2005 Escape steering question
This vehicle to me is hard to drive. It doesn't seem to "self center" itself after turning the steering wheel. If I turn the steering wheel 5° to the right (while moving) and let go of the steering wheel, it will keep taking the 5° turn. I'm used to having the steering wheel turn back to straight. Is there an adjustment for this? 
Thanks

Re: 2005 Escape steering question
Keep in mind Ford's designed the Escape with a "toe-in" alignment. This will wear the inside of your front tires faster than normal. You should re-aligned the vehicle into a neutral position as I did and some others have.
