2010 Lacrosse
My 2010 Buick Lacrosse recently started having cranking issues. It start out of the blue, got into my car a couple hours after driving and my car wouldnt crank. Figured something was left on and got a jump. It didnt start right away, it took several tries. After being jumped, I drove home and drove it for 4 more days with no issues. Woke up one morning to go to work, the car would not crank. Jumped the car with my other vehicle on first attempt. After being at work for 4 hours, cranked the car and went to get lunch. Returned to work, stayed for about 3 hours and when it was time for me to leave the car wouldnt start. Had to get another jump. Have had alternator and battery tested. Both check out ok. This morning got in to crank the car, pushed the button once and it clicked. Pushed the button to get back to try and start again, fired right up. Super frustrated as to why sometimes it cranks and sometimes it doesnt. Seems like it does something different every other time making it really hard to figure out. Really frustrated please help.
 
Need more details, do you hear a click when trying to start, any message on the DIC? Fob battery is okay I presume and no corresponding message on DIC?

Yes I would hear a click when trying to start. Key fob battery has been replaced .

I have seen a message once about rolling the drivers side and passenger side windows down and up.

Are you the original owner, how many miles? I am not an expert but I would not rule out the starter itself, I had a car once depending on which pin it landed it would start or not.
