Many cars today keep the fan running for a while when the car is turned off in order to compensate for heat soak when the engine stops and builds up heat since the water pump and radiator are no longer operating. This prevents hard starting when the engine is hot. Call a dealer and ask if your model does this. If yes, then your battery is a likely culprit. Is it original?
