So, little update on this. I was working on adjusting the driver side window yesterday because there was a gap by the mirror creating some annoying wind noise. I was not able to adjust the window correctly, I ended up making it worse, so I have to go back to it later. But while I was doing this, I managed to drain the battery and basically kill it. The car didn't want to start, threw a Failure alert with a red lighting bolt on the dash (forgot the actual phrasing). I tried to charge the battery over night but it only reached 25%. The battery is fairly new, 12/22 it says on it but it sounded like the car had been sitting for most of time the last few yers so I think it was on it's last legs and then I killed it.

I managed to start it with that 25% and the car did not like that! It started and ran, but really rough and then it died. So I went to AutoZone around the corner and picked up a new AGM battery, started the car up and it ran perfectly. Took it on a 100+ mile drive with mostly highway and some start and stop traffic and several stops with parking and starting and not a single issue. No CEL, no stuttering, no hesitation. It ran perfectly.

So it seems like it was just suffering from a dying battery.
