Several times over the past two month period the car has refused to start (nothing when key is turned) go back later and car starts. The last time car was towed by mechanic who checked it the next day and it started. Can't pinpoint issue, doesn't even respond to jumping off when it doesn't start. Battery appears fine and lights, etc, work but ignition doesn,t make any noise or attempt to turn motor over.

Possible causes could be the ignition switch, park/neutral switch, starter relay and the starter itself
