Consumer Description

MULTIPLE TIMES THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT FLASHES. IN A FEW INSTANCES THE CAR STALLS AND DOESN'T WANT TO START BACK UP LEAVING YOU STUCK. LUCKILY WE'VE NEVER BEEN HIT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. USUALLY HAPPENS GOING UP A HILL OR AROUND A BEND. OIL LEVEL IN CAR IS GOOD AND CHANGED EVERY 3-5000 MILES. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR IS FULLY WARMED UP OR COLD ENGINE. DOESN'T MATTER IF GAS LEVEL IS AT A 1/4 OR 3/4 TANK. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IN THE PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR BUT IT SAYS IT'S NOT FOR MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE STALLING AND PROBABLY 25 TIMES THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT HAS FLICKERED ON.
