Are there any sensor lights coming on? You may have gotten bad gas and also dirty gas that has plugged your filter. Older gas stations can have tanks or lines running to the pumps develop a hole and dirt or water gets into the tanks/lines. You also should have a computer read out of the systems as it may be a part of the electronic ignition system going bad.

My GMC 2012 Terrain was doing the same thing. I wasn't getting a clicking sound or anything. The lights were fine and the key fob locked my doors and I solved my issue by making sure the steering wheel was locked in place and it started right up.
