Turning on my car this morning it took a while to turn over and when it finally started all of my stabillitrack was turned off. Also it felt like I wasn’t running with all cylinders. Has this happened to anyone else?

Fully charge the battery. Might be a good idea to have battery tested.
This is a common problem when battery voltage is not optimal.

Ok thanks. I’ll do that today

My battery lasted 2 years - in a brand new 2015. Between the gear drive starter, high compression and electronics, they may have not made enough battery for these cars. Change ‘er out...

This happened to me a couple of times when my starter was going out about 20k miles ago. Hasn't done it since I swapped it out.

Take the cables off and clean the post and cable clamps. Lead post will build up a scale like coating between the clamp and post. Clean all ground connections you can get to as well. While the battery is out, have it tested under load after you have put a 3A or smaller charge on it until it is brought up to 100% (if it will charge up to 100%). Replace the battery if needed but if you replace it, slow trickle charge the new one until it is freshened up from sitting on the shelf.
