2006: “As I was accelerating for a merge, the car bucked and hesitated despite having my foot on the gas. I shifted gears and it was the same problem then there was an odd noise from the engine. I pulled off and the oil pressure warning light came on just as I stopped the engine. I had the car towed to the repair shop.”
