Q: My truck will not start.
My vehicle started fine, went a block, then wouldn't accelerate, steering wheel locked, and died. Now it won't start. Does this sound like a battery issue? Fuel gauge said 25 miles till empty, and I have gotten it down to 2 before without issues just last week. When turning the key, it makes noise, just won't start.
