Engine Failure due to oil pump?
Sorry if there are other posts on this already. Please send any threads on this that you know of please.
On a trip to Dallas, my oil light suddenly came on and while trying to exit the highway, a I started hearing loud knocking sound. Once I had stopped, the knock got worse. I tuned off the engine, then back on... Obviously I was having a huge engine failure. I had just checked the oil before the trip and found plenty of oil there.
I had heard that this car uses oil but this blew me away. Also I know this is the same engine as in some Isuzu that have had problems. They are telling me now that I need a new engine. I cannot believe this car 1) uses this much oil and 2) does not have some warning system to tell me when something like this is happening... Is this a common problem? Sound like a defect.
