On 8/14/23/ I got the first oil change for my new car at the dealer. On 8/15/23 as I cruised at 65mph on a crowded detroit expressway, I pushed further on the accelerator to get away from an aggressive driver on my tail. Nothing happened; the car engine shut down. No warning, no lights, no beeping, no alarm, no dash screen message. Dead engine in the middle lane with cars all around. After I miraculously made it to the shoulder of the freeway, the engine light and oil light came on. Not before, only after the car died. The dipstick indicated the car was out of oil. Unbeknownst to me the parts used to change the oil the previous day were defective. The oil had leaked out over the course of the day and over night. (I later discovered my driveway full of oil). The problem, additional to the defective parts is the fact that I had no warning that the engine shut down was imminent. I had no warning that the car had no oil. I came close to getting killed that day, and still have nightmares. Had I known the car was oil-less, I would not have driven it. This is a car that beeps and pushes and tells one how to drive at every juncture. It tells low gas, low tire pressure, etc. Why would it not warn about the low oil or the imminent engine shutdown??? I was told the car has a “failsafe” feature for the oil. How safe is a failsafe if the driver gets killed while the car engine protects itself???.
