It sounds like the battery voltage is low, these modern starters will turn over on a very low battery, almost too low to run the engine on a petrol) but its additional drain can make other items act oddly. Start by making sure the battery is fully charged before you try it in the morning and if your battery is the 2007 original it may make sense to replace it before it catches you out somewhere inconvenient.
