BAttery has 12.66 volts ...I think factory cables original ones ..miles 106110 ...and about taking it to the dealer ? Don't get mad with my answer but I never take any car to the stealership besides 99% of the time they don't fix the issue

I have an 05 and it is extremely sensitive to electrical problems. I would:
1) Check the battery voltage (your 12.66 is perfect) and crank capacity.
2) Make sure the battery posts are clean and tight even if you just checked them.
3) If its a manual make sure it is left in reverse
4) Check ALL the grounds (This is my guess for your problem.)
5) Check for "draw" between the +cable and the +battery post.
6) Look for loose connectors. You had the ECM replaced and that might be a good place to start. Check the starter connections too.
Good Luck, hope this helps somewhat.
(In my case a pen fell out of my pocket and got under the seat. About a month later I got all sorts of seat belt warnings and active handling messages. Later after retrieving my pen and resetting the connectors - No more problems.)

Oh gosh, I've had those issues over the years and every time, it is the battery. Even when the battery tests good I just go ahead and replace it and the problem goes away. I get two good years and sometimes three years out of a battery and then I become cautious. Use a battery tender, it really helps.

Probably just the battery. Just do yourself a favor and get a new one. They don't cost that much. Make sure connection is tight at the battery terminals. Can be tricky due to conical connections so make sure they're tight but not over torqued.

Glad you found your nightmare I also have 05, and it seems I need to replace the battery every 32 months, cause it either gets weak or dies.
I can leave the car in the garage, for 5 weeks, and fires right up with no problem.
Glad to hear you can once again enjoy your ride, and Summer weather here to start having fun once again. car shows are returning and masks are disappearing.
