I have a 08 and it starts INSTANTLY. If you are saying that it cranks for over 4 to 5 seconds, I would bring it in to the dealer. Might be a fuel problem....the system should hold pressure for easy starting.

my 05 starts instantly. Do you ever smell fuel after start up or just after shut down?

It should start instantly. Most likely a fuel line leak / check valve stuck problem but it could be almost anything. I hate dealers but this is one for them.
