First thing: take your battery to somewhere that can load test it. You can still have radio etc working at min charge. Failure to jump start doesn't mean battery isn't bad. It's summer...running a/c radio etc kills the remaining life of a battery pretty easy. I managed about 2yrs avg with ac delco before I switched manufacturers.
Edit: It's a 2005 model year! Search under the term DBS!!!
Mine did this before and ended up bringing it to the dealer for the ecu reflash update for 2005. Before the reflash I replaced the battery and every once in a while it would do what yours is doing even with the new battery. Try this, disconnect your battery for a couple of seconds, reconnect and start her up.
Hope this helps.
Try this, disconnect your battery for a couple of seconds, reconnect and start her up.
Just remember that after a battery disconnect/reconnect, you'll have to reset the window indexing and probably the clock.
Here's how to reset the window indexing:
Close the car door. Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done. Don't forget the other window.
