Starting issues

I need help!
I've got a 2010 R 350, I started having
Problems with starting the vehicle, when I turn
The key I get nothing not even a sound,
This only happens when the vehicle has been driven
Or it's warm outside, after the first start of the day
Have to wait hours for it to start again
Dealer said I needed a new key, got that and still same
Problems, now it's next we'll try this, anybody have this
Issue and a fix without having to try this and that?
Help would be much appreciated

No starter sound or/and no lights on dash? If it's just the starter, try starting in neutral.

When you get home, open the hood, then go out an hour later & see if it starts.

I will do that, someone else mentioned
A starter relay, I'm going to try that too
And another mentioned checking the battery
Hopefully by the process of elimination!
Just didn't know where to start and no real

When you find the starter relay, match up the no. with another relay & swap them
