Could be a bad connection from your battery. Pull the battery cables and clean them then drive it a while or put a charger on it.

Is it a desiel? lol I'm just kidding. Take it bake to the dealer. You should have a three year warranty. I know I did.

check your wires from the batter, the altanator wires, and honestly it sounds like your starter but dont think it would start then, but anythings posible. could be running low.

a radio reset is a sign of an intermittent open circuit. ground cable or the positive cable going to fuse block.
