Change battery
try using a code reader to reset the CPU as sometimes a battery change will corrupt the CPU program
Not starting
I can not offer a lot of insight but I will ask what battery is in the car. I know the yellow top Opltima batteries are famous for doing just what you are describing. If it is a regular battery then there is something draining the system over time. First be sure you are not leaving things like a phone charge cord with a little light plugged in or something similar like one of those GPS navigators that may cause a drain. If everything is pretty much as it was from factory then you may have to seek out professional help to trace down the source.
Engine shaking
Could be a number of things, - bad gas- bad spark plugs and or wires- plugged air or fuel filter- broken motor or transmission mountThose are the normal problems
Security won't let the car start
General advice:Immo condition:Dead key battery (may need to press button(s) on the key to get the chip activatedKey sincro (ceck owners manual )Key chip fried/key reprogramming.Bad Antenna ring/plug (around the ignition barell).Use second key.Try disconecting the battery for some minutes.Try emergency procedure (if apply,owners manual)Tricky bussines.Hope u deal it,let others know.

Losing coolant, no leak, not overheating
That would relatively normal usage. Coolant is 50% water so repeated heating to near boiling is going to have an effect. Unless you are adding by the gallon, I wouldn't worry.
