The only time mine has not started was when i did a completely cold start, moved it about 3 metres and turn off. ended up being flooded according to NRMA guy. he got it going straight away no problems.

i would take it to ford.

Yep. Off toFord you go.
Not starting is a warranty issue. And sounds like an software problem.

Did you drive it cold for only a very short distance and then stop it again before trying to start it? Sometimes it can flood the engine and cause this problem.
