OK so its at the used car dealers mechanic says he found a bent pushrod and broken spring on cylinder #1 he's going to replace those parts and see if it runs . but what would cause this is my concern

 

Lifter gone bad usually. Cylinder #1 is a de-activating cylinder and the lifters are "special" on the V8/V4 de-activating cylinders.

Did you get the dealer to run the scan tool on the HV battery for system voltages and State Of Charge SOC %?

If that SOC gets low... you will be putting in a new battery. The scan tool can ONLY apply the Jump Assist charge down to only so much.

 

OK they replaced the spring and pushrod and it drives, but I am skeptical. If I trade it back in he's only gonna give me 13,000 so I want to keep it so I don't get screwed,gonna put some miles on it this weekend and then hopefully get the soc% by a dealership that told me they had one hybrid certified .OK so while the engine is running the driver side blows 100% heat!? Wtf not impressed at all

 

If it's running it's charging. The heat/AC may have lost its mind and need the actuator doors re-calibrated. The system "might" figure itself out on its own.

That system is not unique to hybrid. But dealer scan tool again.
