1999 Toyota Camry V6 with 60,000 miles won't start

1999 Toyota Camry V6 with 60,000 miles was acting strange and now won't start. Three weeks ago, started up, worked fine in reverse, would not go when put in drive ... put it into first and went fine .. put it into drive after first and it finally started going ... a warning light came on briefly a few minutes later ... the whole car one that comes on when a bulb is out. The not going when in drive has not happened since.
But a week after that, the same warning light came on again shortly after starting to drive and went off when I got to store. Started up to go home and light was off .. got home without warning lights coming on.
Then three days later, car would not start but the headlights would come on.
Charged it up and it started.
Four days later, will not start again.
Believe it or not it looks like a Toyota battery in there - could it really be the original equipment battery installed in the car 11 years ago at manufacture? I do not remember replacing but I could have.
Do you think a battery replacement would fix all these problems or do I have multiple issues going on here? Thanks for any insights!!

2015 Toyota Camry. Need Help with Car Troubles please?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

Noises are difficult to diagnose without actually hearing them. A 2015 Camry is relatively new and should not be having any mechanical issues as long as the oil and filter are changed every 5,000 miles. My Lexus ES330 Camry has done 270,000 km.

Does the noise speed up when the engine speed increases? It is does, it could be many things. It is doesn't it could be suspension related.

The only way to check is to either take it to a garage or get a friend to help. If you are female, take a man with you.

My 1999 Toyota Camry v6 jst clicks when I try to start but after two o three attempts it usually starts but the other day it started and had a strange running noise as if I was still starting itso I tried...

It does sound very much like your starter. Best way to clean corosion on the battery terminals is hot water. Poor it over the terminal, no need to disconnect just watch where it is leaking as it can stain driveways.

1999 Toyota Camry check engine and trac lights on

I would ignore the problem until something else happens and the car is not running right. A lot of the time it could be a bad sensor or computer. I would say the same thing to my customers as your mechanic.
