What owners wrote
I was completing a turn when the vehicle lost all power and shut completely off causing me to loose control of the vehicle and hit a curb. Vehicle was then towed to dealership where I was advised this happened due to a safety feature of my car . When the car is low on oil when you turn it throws off the oil pressure sensor so the engine doesn't blow up . My last oil change was in feb my car is completely out of oil and no check oil light appeared .
All lights on shifter come on randomly when turning on vehicle. You can't put in drive while lights are on. You have to turn car on multiple times or until lights go off. On dash board it reads service gear shift lights
