Does it seem like the the engine begins to crank then stops, then once you try it again it won't crank at all, and also do you notice the security light flashing when this happens?

Yes it does, and there is a red light that comes on that has a lock symbol and this happens very rarely

If that's happening it probably needs an ignition switch, the electrical part. The contacts in the switch tend to get worn out and set the car into security mode. You might want to look into replaceing the electical part of the switch. It's pretty common in the IONs
