Our Honda 2018 when trying to start gave a message to do with the battery and brakes and it won't start. We don't have a lot of miles on this car. Any ideas as to what is going on. We called the dealer and talked to someone in their maintenance department. The guy said the battery may be the problem. Has anyone else had this issue on here?

The guy said the battery may be the problem.

That would be the first place I would start in troubleshooting. If you can get the car started (jump started, etc.) drive it to a place and have the battery load tested. If you can't get it jump started remove the battery and take it to a place that can load test it. With all the electronics in our car's when the battery starts to die and/or goes dead the car will display various warning signs not related to the root issue.

@Al Z any updates on what was causing your issues?

Do a full battery, alternator, and starter draw analysis.

Many times this is an indication the Alternator (rectifier) is going bad.
