Description of the problem	In the span of 4 days my 2010 ford escape xls engine failed to turn over 3 times. The first two incidents were resolved by jump starting probably due to low battery output. So yesterday, i took the vehicle to a local mechanic shop and replaced the factory-installed battery thinking this was it. Today this morning, as my family and i were about to head out for grocery shopping, the ignition won't start again. So i called for a jump starting service through my insurance and this time it won't start at all. It was towed and moved to the mechanic shop for further inspection. Since it wasn't a ford dealership, they weren't able to do a complete diagnosis. But based on what they were able to do, it appears that there is a breakdown of communication between ignition and engine. I had this for two years now originally purchased from aafes military sales korea and the vehicle has never been in a major accident. I am completely baffled and irritated by all this event because there should be no reason for the car to stall like that. Currently i am overseas in korea with the us army and there are only a couple of ford dealerships over and they are not near by.
