Pretty vague -
Is the starter turning the engine at a fast speed or slowly?
Is the starter turning quickly and it's just not firing quickly?
and usual needed questions:
Have you had any recent work done?
Were there any symtoms prior?
Anything we should know to help us "best guess" the problem?

No prior problems.
when I depress brake pedal and turn the key and hold for 2 seconds then release it takes 6-7 seconds to start. Often takes 7-8 attempts before starting. Wife is afraid to drive for fear of never starting.
Engine turning over is not evident because of hybrid nature of starting. You don’t hear engine as in ICE.
