I had the same problem with my Jeep and it was the oil sender unit. But like I said I would take it in and have the dealer fix it.

Sound like an oil sending unit, hopefully nothing else [Frown] ...Does you car seem down on power when the guage reads in the "red"???... Even so, I would take it straight to the dealer, if its still under warranty.. [patriot]

Modular engines also use powdered-metal oil pump gears in their oil pumps...I've heard of these gears breaking....I hope I'm not scaring you..
