What is your question?
I was driving home and then all my lights flashed on my dash and it said it was an engine failure. I tried to jumpstart it, it didn’t work. The interior lights work but nothing else on the car it’s just dead

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! The case of the challenging Challenger! Did you notice if the lights were dimming beforehand? The "engine failure" warning suggests an issue related to the engine control system or electrical system. If it was something like an alternator, it may have drained the battery so much that it couldn't turn the starter over. Also, check your oil level as well just because it doesn't hurt and if it's engine-related, we don't want to cause any further damage. Check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness. If the connections are fine, it could be a faulty battery or alternator. Have the battery and charging system tested, and consider towing the vehicle to a mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
