It's rare and a sign the car is protecting itself (& you) from potentially serious damage.
Try a decent OBD tool and see if there are codes and also whether any of the live data look wrong.

+1 on seeing if any DTCs are stored.
Many random instrument cluster warnings and DTCs are the result of a failing or weak battery. Use a voltmeter to check the available voltage across the battery terminals with the ignition in the OFF position for at least thirty minutes. If the voltmeter indicates less than 12.6 volts, charge the battery for five hours at 2 to 5 amps and retest. If the voltmeter still shows less than 12.6 volts, the battery should be replaced.
