Stratus SE 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission

I did not want to incur the cost of having the dealer research the problem but I did call the dealer and described my problem, he suggested that I may have a problem with the oil sending unit. I researched it on the web and found a thread between an online mechanic and an owner, it verified that the sending unit might be the problem.

I later found out that only the dealer carried the part so I had to have it replaced there. Once the unit was replaced, the light on the console went out and then reappeared after about a month. Does not seem to occur until the car is hot and I'm sitting idle with low RPMs. Goes out again with a higher than idle RPMs. No problems during this cold weather. I expect to see it again during the next warm season.
