Car has trouble cranking, sometimes nothing, sometimes turns over, sometimes cranks fine

What is your question?

I hear what sounds like a electric motor when I turn key to on postition. I've managed to be able to start car Everytime so far but sometimes it takes 6-8 tried. When it does start it starts without hesitation.

What makes this problem better or worse?

I reset the key and try again until it starts

How long has your 2004 Volvo S80 had this problem?

Since I owned the car
