While driving, at 55mph my check engine light came on without warning and the dash showed "service stabilitrak" and the vehicle suddenly reduced speed to around 30mph before I could apply the gas. I immediately too the vehicle to monro muffler and brake for service. When I arrived, I was informed that the vehicle had no oil. I performed regular oil changes on this vehicle. There was no indication about low oil pressure, the vehicle did not overheat. The engine now needs to be replaced.

Vehicle was parked, started fine backed up out of space. When pulling forward the warning busser came on and display read stabil track. Pulled to side of road and turned off engine after 2min. I restarted engine, the warning stayed on. Drove about 3 miles to dealership, was told to drive it as appt not availble till tues. Engine slowed down could only get to 35mph. After another 5miles it started working so we were able to get home. I have done all required mateniace have 69,000 miles on it, now. If this is a major problem when I reach this milage, what is my recourse?

Drove car 10 miles, then took a left turn and everything shut off and wheel locked. No power or any warning signs of a break down. Restarted car and was able to drive again. Took in for a check up and they were not able to 'recreate the instance'.
