 I purchased my 2005 ford escape january 15, 2005. in april that same year was the first time i attempted to start my brand new truck and it would not start. the vehicle will crank but the engine will not turn over. this happens about every 3-4 months. i have taken it to my local dealer regarding this problem about 4 or 5 times and each tie they tell me they can't find any reason that it would be doing this. the last two times it happened i recall that it had been raining in my area so i don't know if that is a factor or not but the last time it happened was just before thanksgiving 2006. *nm
