Electrical System · at 1,500 miles · reported Dec 15, 2006

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.
