They are less than a year old and that is the reason we changed those did not fix problem is very intermiddent and only does it when it has been driven for a while and then you kill it it wont start back for about an hour and then it may not do it again for a week

If it doesn't crank you need to check and or replace the starter
if the starter getting to hot will not crank until it cool down
check charging system
if the alternator not keeping the battery fully charged then it will not have enough to spine the engine when hot

if crank but no starter check for spark and fuel pressure

It does not turn over or anything and it has 12 volts could it be the crank position sensor or the ignition module?
