how old is your battery? have it checked out.  
check to make sure there are no lights staying on. like glove box or under hood light if you have one. also check to make sure the brake lights are not stuck on. this could happen intermittently if you have a bad brake light switch.

Be aware that the vehicle has the infamous Chrysler TIPM.

> If you've heard of a TIPM, chances are you own a vehicle from Fiat-Chrysler (FCA). Think of it like a command center for all the electrical functions of your car, and in FCA's case a very, very disfunctional one.
