Occasionally, vehicle will not start after sitting for about an hour...vehicle will try to start...tachometer will fluctuate, but the engine ends up stalling. In order to start the vehicle, the ignition key has to be held in the start position longer than usual...about 5 seconds. Took to various dealer service dept. Several times, but nothing wrong could be found by them. Vehicle is now out of manufacture's warranty...contacted manufacture for assistance, but none given.
