My engine is not turning over - starter not working?

I was driving home from work and had to stop to get gas in my car. After I got gas I was heading down the road not even a mile down the road when my car made a strange knocking sound. Went to losing power. Put car in neutral pressed gas then went back to drive. It started going back to reg speed for two seconds lost power and when I did battery and oil light came on. Back story I have a small oil drip and have had it for three years. Also, three days before ran over a tree that was in middle of road. No way to avoid it. Just trying to see if my car will work.

I found out what is wrong. My car jumped timing by 2/3 teeth. My belt is shredded which stopped the engine from cranking over Thank you

When I turn the ignition switch to start nothing.

The car will not crank. When the key is turned in the ignition, a clicking sound is heard. What could be the problem. Note also that the service engine light is on.

First issue, I went 8 miles away, parked it and tried to start it and it wouldn't turn over. Came back the next day and it worked fine. Three weeks later it does the same thing. We change out the battery, (it was the original) it works fine. Two weeks later, same thing. Alternator is fine, starter is fine, brand new battery is dead. Any ideas?

I had similar problems with my 02 Vue battery working then not working. After I put new battery in and it was still going dead. I took it back to where I bought it from while it was still under warranty and it turned out to be the alternator. The alternator was working and then not working. After alternator was replaced the battey was fine and all was good. I hope this helped you!

We had it checked for free at auto zone, not the alternator or the starter, took it in and its the BCM. They are fixing it today.

Funny both autozone AND bell tire did a diagnostic check and said the battery was dead, we take it in the dealer and they said no. How annoying. $70 on a new battery that probably didn't need to be bought.

My VUE just cranks slowly and will not start. I have a new battery (1 week old) and I can hear the fuel pump activate when I turn the key on. This happened just recently and the car just cranks slow like a bad battery and will not start. I am cosidering pulling the starter and having it tested. Help!

I think my starter is in need of replacement, or perhaps something wrong with the carburetor, or something I have not experienced before, but would like to know what the pros think.

When I turn the key on it sounds like the car is starting but the engine doesn't turn over unless I keep the key turned on and keep my foot on the gas. This started intermittently now is happening most of the time.
There are some other interesting things that happen with this problem: one time after the engine started the headlights flashed about 3 times (day running lights). Then the last time the security light in the dash stayed on while the car was running.

The battery seems to be running everything o.K. And it does not appear that I need a new alternator because there is no power drain when I start the engine.

My problem starting with the horn going off. Then the horn started blaring. We took the fuse out and changed it and then the instrament panels quit working and then it was hard to crank and now it don't crank at all plus I think the tail light also quit. It seems that everthing is shutting down. I hooked it up to a hand held checker and it gave no code. I really hope some one can help me.
