Quick version this is well know and there is a fix . There is a computer reflash that dealers can do. It takes about a 1/2 hour
Many have had this problem (I did) Make sure you battery is in good condition, all the dead battery
knocks the hell out of it.ADDED
You have low milage for a 05 car, it is possible you do not use it enought to kepp the power hungry items from pulling down your battery.
If that is the case get a battery tender (a lot of us have them) about $20 or so at Wally World. Get a tender not a charger

I have an '05 I posted relating to my dead battery but that was after the car sat for three weeks unstarted...........your symptoms (if your battery was not drained from one of the dead instances) sounds more like DBS, I was advised that mine was not DBS but merely a dead battery from lack of use...........yours sounds different..........
