Default Car Doesn't Start When I Turn The Ignition. It doesn't Crank, Click or Make Any Sound

Sup Guys!

I hope everyone is doing well. Its been a while since I posted on the forum. I'm having a small issue and hope I can rely on my brothers for some guidance. My wife's 2013 Accord Sport has been experiencing the following issue;

When we turn the ignition to start the car, the car doesn't turn on. It doesn't crank, click or make any sound. However, the dashboard lights turn on. When we try to turn the ignition again on the second try, the car starts up.

About three months ago I had a mechanic install a Remy 16201 remanufactured starter purchased through RockAuto.com. The car was running fine. However, for the past three weeks, the car started exhibiting similar symptoms again. On occasion it won't crank. Usually when this happens, I would keep trying and the car will start after 3-4 tries. However, yesterday I must have tried cranking it 5-6 times. I was about to call a tow truck when I popped the hood to check the terminals. The terminals were on good. After about 10 minutes, I gave it one last chance and it started right up with no hesitation.

Has anyone ever experienced this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

@toicy4ya, what you are describing is a classic symptom of a starter failure. I would take the car back the shop and have them replace it again.
