Description of the problem	Just finished gassing up after work from highway driving and oil light starts flicking on and off really fast for a min then goes away . After i pull off the main road to a neighborhood i'm about to pull over to check car and go over a speed bump car dies. So i get out pop hood open oil cap there no oil and fumes coming out and i really didnt get a warning light or anything to warn me there wasnt any oil other then the flickering light that just went off. It has 100000 miles got oil changed every 4000 to 5000 it last had one at 96000. So i have someone pick me up i get oil put i. It doesnt start i leave over night find out cpu has a sensor to protect engine from further damage if it gets hot so i disconnect battery and reconnect it starts but now theres a knocking sound i take it 2 min away to firestone they listen to it and say the problem is a internal motor problem they cant fix sounds like a rod broke. Or loose. So i have towed to dealer for now. I just saw the news about them catching fire and basically put 2 and 2 together. The cars are eating too much oil due to a regulator sensor and the oil sensor is not letting people now there isn't any or that its low til it's too late so the rods break and puncture the motor causing oil to leak and catch fire due to heat. So now i have a car that's undrivable that i have to pay possibly for a new engine due to a faulty distribution sensor and oil light warning system that causes overheating of the motor. I hope my recall notice comes soon to replace this motor cause i don't have 4 000 to 6000 dollars to replace a new one.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
