Description of the problem	Vehicle will just randomly not start. Get in car turn on key and nothing, lights, radio, ect all work, but car will not start. So far if you wait a short time and try again it starts and all is fine. I thought that it was the battery so i replaced it and all was good for about 6 months, and then about 2 weeks ago it did the same thing, would not start. Went about my business in another car, came home about 1 hour later, got into car and it started right up and has been fine since. I have gone online and have seen this is a common problem, but there does not appear to be anything that the dealer can do. They replace different parts, but it occurs again. Lots on money being spent and no results to be had. Very frustrating . This has happen about 15 times in the last year, but it does start if you wait awhile. At least my has, but i note that others have not.
