That sucks dude. I had mine do a random no start one time, a few minutes later it started fine and hasn't had trouble since. I know there are some other threads about this, seem to remember some thinking its a fuse issue.

Happened to me once. The dealer reflashed my computer and it's started every since. But, some times it does take to turns on the key to get some spark.

RubyDoo did that the third time out and what i did was to treat her like a bad acting PC. I disconnected her battery for a minute then reconnected her and she worked fine all day. went to the dealer monday and found that she had a bad key and they replaced it.
