Hello, hoping the hive mind here can help. I have a 2005 Honda civic hybrid with 300,000 miles on it. It has always been a great car but now it has developed an issue.

when I am driving now the battery light turns on occasionally. If I turn the car off within a minute I can turn it back on immediately and it is fine. If I wait for more than a minute everything turns off including engine, power steering and lights. If I try to start it then the lights in the dashboard flicker and it just clicks. BUT if I wait about an hour it turns on fine and drives fine...until it happens again.

any ideas???
thanks in advance...Chris
