    Seems like the first start each day now has problems. When I first push the power on button, it goes into "half on" mode only. The big red triangle stays on and sometimes the radio will come on, not always. So far I can hit power on again and it goes off, then one more time and it goes on normally. I always then check the energy consumption panel which shows the battery level nice and blue. What could be the problem? The car is 3 years old, with about 60K miles. Last summer was really hot in Texas.

    found a video on checking the status of your 12v battery. it shows that it is at 9 volts. so i'm guessing that that is the problem....
