Not on either of mine - 3500 miles total. Maybe it's a part of the bad battery syndrome.

No problems here. Some thoughts: if the engine isn't turning, it sounds like the battery, though could be an electrical glitch with the starter button- I'd take it in to the dealer, assuming you can replicate the problem for them when you get there. Does the problem happen when the car is cold or after you've just driven it? If it happens after you've just driven it, then it is unlikely to be a battery problem, unless the charging system isn't working. Though here have been several threads with reports of bad batteries that don't hold a charge...Good luck!
