I was on the highway traveling roughly 65 miles , I had literally just gotten onto the highway. I went to accelerate and the car just wouldn't , the rpms and mph just went down and all lights came on the dash. I had to pull over. I shut car off, car has not been able to start since that day. The engine will not turn over. It didn't make any loud noise when this happened , there was no smells. It just stopped accelerating & engine light, battery light and oil light all came on. The car was completely full of oil and the filter was clean. The car had coolant in it, no leaks. I use the same shop for all mechanical work so he has all records of my maintenance.
