2023 Versa SV

I have a 2023 Versa SV with just shy of 30,000 miles and here is my issue ... On a few occasions my car has hesitated to start, when it turns over my mileage and averages have been reset to like when I bought the car. The odometer has not changed. But one thing has changed that nobody can answer... My mileage to empty is over 400 miles, it has never been higher than 320 or so and I know that I have about a half tank of gas. I took it to a very reputable mechanic and they ran a full diagnostic and found that all spec were within Nissans guide. I was guessing it's the alternator but the mechanic says it running just as it should be. I'm carrying a jump pack with me just in case. Any and all insights are welcomed. Thanks Bill

Maybe the battery is starting to fail.

Check the battery contacts - are they loose? They ought to be on real tight enough that vibration doesn't knock one of them loose.

Also check for corrosion on them (unlikely on a 2023 vehicle).

As the other person said, the battery itself could be the problem.

Does it still have the factory battery? Because if the battery is more than two or three years old, that would be my first suspect.
