I notice that when the weather is warm, my car intermittedly will not start. I have taken it to the dealer and they cannot figure out the problem. Has anyone else had this issue?

When it does not start, do you get any messages on the instrument cluster? Also have you tried using another key to see if it will start right up with the other key?

Thanks for your suggestion. I tried a different key this morning (weather was cooler too), and it still did not work. There are also no messages on the instrument cluster.

Does it crank over and not start? Or does not crank over? Or does it start for second and then quit? But if everything has being check for good spark, good fuel pressure, good battery, I would suspect a bad immoblizer antenna ring. That is clipped over the column lock switch.
