Yes, an engine can seize up while driving, typically due to a lack of lubrication, overheating, or internal mechanical failure. When critical components, such as bearings or pistons, fail, it can cause the engine to lock up and stop functioning. This may result in sudden loss of power, making it difficult to control the vehicle. Regular maintenance and monitoring of oil levels can help prevent such issues.
