I'd imagine an OEM replacement could cost around $150 but it'd be OEM quality and not a Chinese-made replica that lasts a year and then dies. I will personally go out of my way to get OEM Motorcraft parts like this (fuel & ignition) because I've had really bad luck with the aftermarket knock-offs.
You're also paying for diagnosis and probably towing, too.

Bill, MAFs do go bad... albeit rarely. An earlier post told of the importance of buying OEM instead of cheap knockoff. This is one of the few parts that I am firmly in support of buying OEM only.
My experience is that dirty air filters and sometimes K&N filters that have been over-oiled can contribute to MAF sensors failing. They can be cleaned but I have not found a video or PDF showing an Escape MAF cleaning.
