Today I was driving my care and all of a sudden I heard a ticking noise in the front of my car and I started smelling a burnt smell. like rubber burning. Then, the car shut down and would not start at all. I turn the key and nothing happened. I did not hear a sound. The lights were on in the inside and outside. They were as bright as they were normally and the radio came on. all of my fluids were fine. could you please tell me what could be the problem?

No it did not run hot. The dealer told me it needed a new starter. Thank you for responding.
