Default starting issues

My 2023 Chevy Malibu acted like the battery was dead. after 10 min of trying to start it it finally started but the check engine light is on. I tried to use the mobile start and it didn't go thru and that's when it started giving me issues. i took it by AutoZone and he said its only 52% charged. My phone is saying everything is ok and now its starts by my phone just fine.

Still under warranty? If so make it a dealer problem

A weak battery causes all sorts of glitches in new cars. The low charge likely triggered the check engine light. Get the battery properly charged and tested. The error might clear on its own after a good drive. If the light stays on, you'll need a real scan to see the code.
