Angry Engine light and battery light

OK here is the story. Engine light and battery light come on, we take to the dealer. Dealer says they do not know what the problem is. I here words like maybe, could be this, could be that, but they dont know. They recode and say everything is fine and then two days later here we go again.Does anybody have a clue? 2010 Honda civic Hybrid

Found out today what the problem is. After third dealership and twenty minutes of inspection the man says all batteries are dead. He says your hybrid is not a hybrid anymore. After 38000 miles I get new batteries.

I don't think there is one Prius out there that needed a complete set of hybrid batteries replaced. Luckily, your Civic was still under warranty.

I assume that you meant "IMA" warning light as opposed to the other battery warning light. Did it really take the third dealer to determine that? Never send your car to the first two dealers for service in the future.
