First off it is a 2011 Optima, 2.4,143k miles. Never had any issues other than routine maintenance.
Driving home, it died, I coasted into a parking lot. Tried restarting and it won’t turn over. I can hear the starter click, all the lights, everything works. Even tried jumping it off. It almost seems as if the starter is locked up but that wouldn’t have caused it to die while driving. Also a couple times when trying to start it, it tried to turn the engine but it acts as if it is seized. I really hope not.
Any input on what it sounds like to y’all?
