I have the same problem. There are times I thought it would fail me but it has always started even when it cranked so slow I thought no way is it going to start. I have not bothered with a dealer visit yet as no one who has posted about this so far has shared that a dealership has found the root problem (what is making the battery go bad) and I don't want to waste my time with being told - "nothing found - normal operation". If it fails to start then I will take action and get it into the dealership. I'm with you - if the battery has a bad cell or two how are the cold starts no problem at all but starts on a warm engine are a crap shoot as to whether it will slow crank or not. I have had the car 2 years and now have 16 K miles on the original battery.
