Default 2008 Grand Cherokee Laredo starting issue

So I bought a 2008 Grand Cherokee Laredo back in May and it had no issues. A week later I would drive it to a store or wherever. After I got done and went to leave it wouldn't start. It has power but doesn't make a sound when I try and turn it over. It did that for a week and then stopped. Well today it did it again out of the blue! Someone said it could be the starter is getting too hot and therefore you can't start it till hours later after it's cooled down. The temp gauge has always been in the normal range. Originally back in May I finally got a CEL and it said coolant temp sensor but the guy erased it before I could stop him. Any ideas? I have to drive out of town tomorrow and I don't want to end up stranded wherever I stop and shut her off!!! Thanks!

How old is the battery? If you're not sure, have it tested, and check, clean the connections.
