I left my radio on for 30 minutes (lights off, fan off) in the winter (-20c). When I tried to start it I got the stiff brake pedal, VSC light on and the air bag indicators flashed on and off several times. Very strange. After reading this thread I boosted the battery and it started fine. All warning lights were off. I then tested the battery and it showed slightly weak, charging system slightly out of the 'good' region. Guess the battery needs charging/replacing. Thanks for the heads up!

Hi and welcome. That post is 1.5 years old and user shows just one post. Don't hold your breath.
If yours is dead I'd start a new thread as its probable that none of these posts are related.
Best advice on any newer car having 20+ computers on board is:
1) fully charge your battery
2) have it load tested
3) if having strange electrical issues, drive straight to tire/battery shop for battery load test.
4) If battery is more than 5 years old replace it.
5) If you do lots of short trips daily, see #4 and make that 3 years....

Thank for the reply. I replace the battery last summer.. I also recharged it and put it back in and load tested it.. I then switched it out with a red top. Still no luck

So either start a new thread or detail everything you can think of that we need to know.
When it ran last.
CEL codes
Year, model, miles.
All pertinent service history.
Weather related....
Sounds, noises, smells....
Tell the story and maybe we can help.
