Sounds like a dead battery or corrosion on the terminals. Autozone or advance auto can check the battery for free. Battery is a bit young to die. Any check engine lights before this problem?

Any corrosion on the terminals? Might be simple as a new battery, but it should be tested in case the alternator killed the battery.

Yep, a bit young to die.... my 1990 Camry battery lasted 6 years.

HOWEVER, my 2007 Sienna battery died just over 3 years old.....

Just to say that "...it happens"

Would at least consider it. I went to Autozone, and they checked it in the parking lot - BAD .... that's after two mornings of "no-start, just chatter".

I agree with mikered30

I had a similar problem with wife's corolla replaced battery worked great. That's after wasted money on a starter that didn't need to be replaced! Battery is my vote.
