It does appear the battery is weak, but guessing gets expensive. You need to have the car checked by a service shop. Other possibilities are the alternator may be at fault, or there is a poor connection.
The transmission may need a fluid change, but until you get the electrical system checked you can't be sure. The throttle body motor can be heard.

yes make sure the battery is fully charged cant hurt to put it on a charger overnight,these cars do not like undercharged batterys, also if you can get a scanner and check for any codes that have been thrown by the onboard diagnostics that may be helpful, post anymore info you get I'm sure you'll get more help
good luck

i check the battery & alternator its all good ,, i think something in electrical system also the lights still just a little bit bulging like weak connectivity , i will check the electrical system soon , i just suspect maybe its happened when i wash the car maybe water touches the connections or some damaged cables
