Consumer Description

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, ANOTHER TIME IT DIDN'T START AFTER A FEW TRIES VEHICLE STARTED. STALLED A SECOND AND THIRD TIME BUT I NOTICED THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON FOR A TENTH OF A SECOND THEN WENT OUT. RETURNED HOME AND CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL. (VEHICLE WAS JUST IN FOR A 1000 MILE COURTESY CHECK BY THE DEALER VEHICLE HAD 2660 MILES ON ODOMETER) SERVICE MANAGER SAID EVERYTHING IS OK AND WE LEFT. ODOMETER HAS 2975 MILES WHEN THIS SHUTTING OFF OCCURRED. WHEN DIP STICK WAS READ IT WAS READING THE VERY TIP OF THE STICK. I ADDED 3 QTS. OF MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDED OIL AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO READ THE CODES AND ASK WHY I WAS OUT OF OIL WITH NO OIL INDICATOR LIGHT ON. SAFETY CONCERN IS THIS ENGINE PER THE SERVICE MANAGER IS PROGRAMMED TO SHUT OFF IN THE EVENT OF A LOW OIL PRESSURE. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT YOU DO NOT GET ANY WARNING THAT YOU HAVE LOW OIL PRESSURE UNTIL THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THEN YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY.
