I'd have the car checked out, and don't discount the battery based on its age. The messages are pointing to where there is a problem. Until you pull all the fault codes and test the system, you won't know what the real problem is. Bad power can manifest all sorts of related faults.
As a point of reference, I had a 4 month old battery fail hard (<3V). Wouldn't even power the overhead light.
