The oil pump quit, causing the oil pressure lamp to come on. The vehicle is still under warranty, but since I cannot produce all of the receipts for oil changes since I purchased the vehicle, they will not cover the warranty. The dealer says that the failure was due to oil sludge. I was not informed that I had to keep receipts for oil changes durring the lifetime of the vehicle.
