Mazda 2002 Starting Problem

My 2002 Mazda bought just 5 months ago had 3 occasions when it would not start after sitting 4-5 days ...turn over completely and then die..twice...and then not start at all. It then after 1 1/2 hours started. Tripe AAA came, not the battery, were about to tow it when it started. Next time it would not start in the garage after sitting 4 or 5 days (warm weather 70's-low 80's)....turn over twice and die again after a few seconds. AGAIN, a little over an hour it started. Aftewr the second time, it was checked by dealer who said passed all tests, nothing wrong, they kept it a week, ran it no problems. Returned it. This is now the third time and the car is driven less than 500 miles in the 4 months I have had it. I asked if they checked fuel pump, filter, battery, lines, catalytic converter, everytibng....and they said yes and it is fine. This is not right and I would like to know what you think.
