Why will my car start after 45 min of trying or some times starts right up

What is your question?

I'm trying to figure out why my car starts after about 45 minutes of trying or sometimes it just starts right away.

What makes this problem better or worse?

Not sure the brake pedal could be a problem

How long has your 2012 Scion tC had this problem?

Few months
