At times when turning key to start position, nothing happens. Dash lights come on when key is on and do not dim when in start position, no clicking is heard, just nothing. Tried both keys when this happens and makes no difference. Both key fob have new batteries. When it does start, engine runs good.

It sounds like the starter motor has gone out. but to be sure here is a guide to help us see what's going on with diagrams below to help you see what it will take to replace the starter motor which you can get from Amazon or RockAuto:
