Was driving about 55 MPH for 40 minutes. Car slowed down to about 40 MPH on slight incline, hitting gas did not help. This happened again about half mile further on. Then, all the warning lights came on (engine, oil, etc) and car lost power. Pulled off the road.
Checked if the battery cables were tight as once I had an issue with a loose cable. Cables were fine but car would not start. Serpentine belt is fine. Tried to jump car, but would not jump. Car does not try to turn over with or without jumper cables. When key is turned, you only hear a click and nothing else. Lights are working.
What could have caused this? Someone mentioned rhw starter, but that wouldn't have caused the car to lose power. Any insight would be appreciated.
