Car not Starting Like It Should

Since birth, my car doesn't want to start once out of thirty tries. I noticed that every once in a blue moon, I have to crank it a little bit more than normal for it to start. I had the automatic remote start feature installed on the car, and sometimes it takes more than two tries for it to start. Sometimes it doesn't start at all and I have to manually get in the car and crank it myself. Like I said, it doesn't happen often, but it bothers me to know that its a new car and I'm already having this problem. I want to take it back to the dealer, but I feel that I will be wasting my time since it doesn't happen often. What can the problem be?

-In case anyone is wondering, I do use premium gasoline only.

search for previous threads on this topic. We have discussed this a lot lately. I have the problem and so do other guys here. Dont really know what to call it, so no one has gone into service asking for a fix. Maybe its got something to do with the coils that were trying to find the TSB for...

yeah, it somehow makes you less upset to know that there's a lot of upset people too.
