| Description of the problem | Engine shuts off with no warning! Apparently when oil is low, engine is built to shut off as a safety feature! No oil light indicator comes on. This happens in the middle of driving vehicle with no warning. Checked the forums online and many people complaining of same issue. These vehicles (mine included) are burning oil like crazy! Issue has been occurring since vehicle had 60k miles on it. Will burn through 5 quarts of oil in 3k miles or less and then vehicle will shut off because of no oil! |
