Lately when I unlock and try to start it just won't turn over but after a while it'll start right up...I'm thinking a security feature gone wrong? I'm sitting here missing my family labor day picnic and need help!!!

If there is a security problem there is usually a warning light (or message) on the instrument cluster when it doesn't crank over. You may also have a problem with the transmitter inside the key. Do you have proximity entry on this vehicle? If so, you may try replacing the battery inside the key fob. Talk to you soon, TY
