2018 Mazda CX-5 4dr SUV

187-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD

28000 mi Car didn't want to start on initial try, then started as if a low battery. Gauge cluster lit up nearly all warning lights, parking brake warning light stayed on, there was a warning that upon finding it in the manual, was to not drive the car at all. Took it to dealer, they charged battery and performed systems checks. They said everything is fine, that the errors were related to a low voltage situation. 
21000 mi replaced battery under warranty
