I was at the grocery store earlier and my car won’t turn on. The error on my dashboard shows the electronic parking brake, the brake, engine, battery, the steering airbag fails. I called AAA and they jumpstart my car, and it started and all the errors on my dashboard are now gone. The AAA guy said it’s the batteries I need to change it. I was able to drive my car home safely and didn’t feel like anything was wrong with it, no sounds no shaking. Still Im worried that it’s more than the battery even though the errors are gone and my car is working again. But im scared to go back to the dealership because I don’t want to pay a lot of money again like I did last May for oil change and 20k miles multi point check yada-yada-yada which I paid 700$. I have a Honda civic 2020 with 22500k miles on it.

Sounds like you need a new battery. Don’t bring your car to the dealership for service unless it’s a lease. Their service rates are absurdly more than normal mechanics.
According to my research:
Your battery is covered by a limited warranty good for 100 months. The warranty will cover your replacement battery if you purchase it from an authorized Honda dealership.
For the first 36 months of the warranty, Honda will replace defective batteries free of charge. For the remainder of the warranty, Honda will issue a pro-rated credit toward the battery purchase, but the owner is responsible for installation costs.
100 month warranty on a 12V Honda Battery? Who on EARTH upvoted you. It’s 36 months only, same as most other manufacturers.
You are confusing starting batteries and hybrid batteries.
Read carefully. 36 month full. Then prorated.
It’s probably just the battery. There are so many electronics on newer cars that a low or dead battery will cause all kind of errors that are remedied by replacing or charging the battery so that the sensors get proper voltage.
No. Needs a battery. If you want to save yourself some money you should learn more about cars.
