It is definitely a starter issue. It may be from heat soak or it may be a faulty starter, or it may be a combination of both. Like I had stated in my earlier post it happens on hot days after hard driving. Any other time car starts up almost right away as it should. I don't have any videos but when my starter finally gave up it would make about one to two very slow revolutions of the starter and all interior lights dimmed to almost nothing before the car would go back to ACC mode. The starter was drawing too much amperage. I even let it sit for about 30 min hoping it would cool off enough to restart but then when I tried cranking it again smoke came out from under the hood and you could smell the starter burning up. At that point just had it towed to dealer where starter was replaced and have had no issues since, but I have not driven it hard in hot weather since so I can't totally say if it is fixed. But it was very similar to the slow start in the video, but even slower.
