Your car is under warrantee or was 50K the cutoff? You are right, very little to go on so that any answers are just pure speculation.
The dealer said that your 2 year old battery may have a bad cell? Did they not test the battery? Is it holding 12 volts? It needs just over 10 volts to run the starter.
Check the car and make sure all of the lights are off, including the glove compartment. Remove the cell phone from the charger. Buy a voltmeter at an auto parts store for $25 and check the battery voltage.
You put in a brand new battery, but was it fully charged?
