(GOTTA BE A PAIN IN THE *** OR EXPENSIVE OR BOTH).

I've had (and fixed) that problem in the past. It's your VATS (Vehicle Anti-Theft System) wire that connects to the ignition switch. It's a very fine gauge wire, and stupidly, it was designed that it moves with the ignition switch. The point at which the end of the wire is soldered to the ignition switch will break off, or start losing connection. This will start off as trouble starting, and go to a full blown no-start condition. You'll notice that the SECURITY light on your gauge cluster will be illuminated.

The fix is to have a new ignition switch installed in the car... this also requires getting new ignition keys cut. Pain in the ***, and can be expensive... $99CAD for the switch, and 3 hours of labour plus two keys cut.

The day mine went, it gave me trouble starting at the bank. I was about an hour away from home when the wire lost total connection. $65 dollar tow bill. Boourns.
