Your sway bar end link is popping.

My guess is it's jut weak. Put it on a charger and see what that does. Then drive it around to charge the battery back up. If this keeps happening, take it to autozone and have them load test the battery

They can load test it in a few minutes without removing it. Just stop by Advance/Autozone on your way home. The Camaro didn't want to start last night, either. My Interstate doesn't like the cold.
