Weird Staring Problem

[BluYrs]

That's not a problem, it's a feature :P

However, I stall every other vehicle I try to start until I remember you actually have to hold the key in the "start" position on other cars...

Yep, once you get used to it you wonder how come other cars don't have it (and stall them each time!)

It's a great "feature" when the engine refuses to start. It's intermittent, but sometimes the engine will crank for 5+ seconds before it finally starts. Real frickin annoying. I was visiting my friend at his house a few weeks ago. Everyone is standing outside when I go to leave. Turn the key and after the engine cranked for about 5 seconds it started. People were like, "what's wrong with your car?" Who knows, it's a 2010 with less than 10k miles. Sometimes it starts like grandma's Dodge Dart...

This doesn't seem like a normal feature for me. I have an 11 automatic sedan and it just started doing the same exact thing. Twist key, take had off, but the sart was delayed for like 3 seconds. Seems to be an ignition problem or the start of the starter going bad.
