Sounds like a bad ground somewhere to me. If it is an 09, is it not still under warranty?

Also, under your right rear fender is where the main battery connector for where positive and negative connects everything in the electrical system. It is under a plastic snap off cover. I would confirm those bolts are tight for both positive and negative. If one or both of them are getting a bad connection from being loose or dirty, that may cause the problem you are experiencing.

Check that and post back.
