I went the jump attempt route vs towing it in since I had no tow hook at the time. Someone pilfered it at the dealership.
But mine also had a ton of codes. The jumping might have done some of them.
Anyways, fortunately after it finally started, I drove it to the dealership.
They replaced the battery and cleared all the codes.
Now 4.5 months later I have had no issues at all. It get's driven every weekend or occasionally every other weekend if weather interferes.
So I guess sitting so long at the dealership killed the original battery - it sat for about 10-11 months before I purchased it.

See, mine is seemingly out of the blue. I drive it about once a week. It's been pretty mild here lately, not even cold, much less freezing.
I've had the car since sept of last year with no problems, and no new mods recently to cause this.
Pretty sure it's just luck of the draw.
