Default PLEASE help - Car not Starting!

So the problem started about two weeks back. i went out to get in my car and it wouldn't start. i turned the key it just struggled to turn over. i then noticed that the P-R-N-D-S display was flashing. i know i've seen other people have this problem before. can someone please tell me what i should do??

two nights ago the same thing happened again. i tried to start the car, but it wouldn't turn over and the gear selector was flashing like before. previously when this happened, all i would do is lock the car up, give it about 10-15 minutes, and go back to try again. this had worked every time. however, this time it wouldn't start, no matter how long i waited. i tried jump starting it with my friend, but it was no good. after 3 hours i had to get the car towed back to my house. once we got the car off the tow truck, i tried to start it just for the hell of it, and it did. the strange part is that when i turned the key, the P-R-N-D-S lights were no longer flashing. WTF could be going on with my car??

sounds like you need to take it to a dealer or a specialist.
