I have another update on this issue. Turns out, I was on to something in my very first post. The battery being drained was not the issue after all because I have had consistent 12.5v to 12.6v readings from it ever since I unplugged the bad phone charger and the issue just started again yesterday when the battery read 12.6v. I had my alternator checked today which showed no issue, which I expected being that the car is less than 3 years old, so I decided to try something and I put the CPU in a freezer ziplock and stuck it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Well after that 30 minute chill, it gave me an error 10 when I plugged it all back in. So I then took the CPU inside for 30 minutes to warm up and sure enough, plugged it in and it fired right up without issue. I did this test 3 more times and every time was the exact same, pulled from the freezer after 30 minutes, error 10, sitting on my desk for 30 minutes, starts right up. Lets get this thing swapped out because I am like 99.9% sure it is the CPU at this point.
Also, I should mention, my freezer is set to 8* F which is in the operating temperature of between -4* to 140* F according to the user manual. I've driven the car well into the negatives though many times in the past 4 years and have not had an issue until this year.
