    after green bean replaced the hybrid battery and i drove it for few blocks the Prius died on me. No power or anything. steering and a/c works. all light came on. i just have to turn off the car and turn it back on and it works again and then after a few block it dies again. No light on when the car is running.

    ... and when the car dies?

    What codes do you read when you scan the car when it "dies" like this?

    This sounds very weird, use Dr. Prius App to find out the error code, you are going to need compatible OBD2 adapter like these:
