Having weak start ups, computer resets, plus EPB fault

Saturday I turned the key in the ignition twice & nothing happened Shocked Third time it started with a struggle and got the yellow amber EPB light & park brake fault message.

Now every time I start it up it sounds weak like it's struggling to find enough juice. Once started all seems fine but each time the computer resets and EPB light comes on periodically.


Battery terminals seem tight and not corroded. I never use the EPB. The day before the issues began I had given it a good detailing with the doors open for several hours (no key in ignition). Wondering if that could have killed it.

Does it sound like the battery is going flat to you guys or something else going on Question I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

As the battery is now 3 years old may need to have it looked at. Sad .

Well since I don't have a charger at home, I ran it by an auto parts place to have them charge it, but they were chicken to touch it because of the memory sensor Rolling Eyes

I'm looking at just buying a new one. Is there a better battery to be had or should I go with the same one? (Interstate) BTW I'm still under warranty. I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?
