Default Car sometimes won't start please help

hello everyone, new to this forum & also a new owner to a 2004 crossfire.

unfortunately I am already having issues with this car I would REALLY appreciate any help.

I noticed that when I turn the key , the car seems to have a bit of a sluggish start-up. Everything was all fine and well until yesterday when I was in the middle of running errands, the car wouldn't start. (the car wouldn't even crank over, however from what I remember, all of my interior electronics were working). I tried starting it about 5 times, no luck! so I decided to just wait a few minutes... when I turned the key, slowly but surely the car turned on! however my BAS ESP light remained on for a few minutes.

the ride home went well , I was just hoping the car wouldn't die on me during the trip home. I successfully made it home to my garage.

SO THIS MORNING when I turned the key... same thing happened! the car wouldn't even crank over. my BREAK WEAR INDICATOR , COOLANT LIGHT , & BAS ESP LIGHT were on when I was trying to turn the car on. (all of my electronics were working for the first few cranks but then eventually died out)

About 15 minutes later I decided to try and start the car again & BAM! starts up. ((the Coolant light, & Break Wear Indicator light was off, however my BAS ESP light remained on.)) I let the car idle for a few minutes & everything seemed to work fine. I plugged in one of those volt meters into my cigarette lighter & the meter read healthy close to 15 volts. the battery looks pretty new & there is no corrosion from what I can see.Does anyone know what this problem could be? I read around on this forum and seems most likely the culprit is the RPM sensor.I'm just confused on why my Break Wear Indicator Light, Coolant Light & BAS ESP came on. The dealer I bought it from just did a rear brake job & the brakes perform perfectly.PS I apologize if I am a bit all over the place , I'm just a bit overwhelmed. I'm very grateful for this forum & everybody here..... just hope someone could help me out with some info.... thank you!!!!!
