    I checked the volts at the jump point after the car sat all night, and it is currently at 12.66 volts.

    I had similar symptoms once with similar age car, also with a new 12V, but with no codes or warnings. My solution--I got kinda lucky and found a local parts car with 70K miles on Craiglist and salvaged the traction battery for $800 (then sold my old one on CL for $300--also lucky). For that price it was worth the gamble for me and the problem has not recurred in 30K miles and I have a much newer battery. I'd heard a salvaged battery may be a safer bet than a rebuilt one and it worked well for me.
