Engine light came on. P0520 default code re oil pressure sensor/switch. In researching this issue, it appears that despite numerous complaints by others for exact same issue, no recall by jeep. My mechanic also noted this is a very common issue for jeep. Jeep customers are having to pay out of pocket for this very expensive repair. Jeep needs to issue a recall and reimburse for this repair.

Sometimes the engine will stall seconds after the long start happens, after enough time to go into drive/reverse from being stationary. This has been dangerous as the vehicle is moving (pulling into traffic from parking spot, city street) when the engine stalls. At that time the only way to restart is to re-cycle the push-to-start…
