Engine Oil Pressure Sensor/Switch Circuit

Myself - along with THOUSANDS are having the dreaded P0520 Code come on!!! There is a TSB (HAS BEEN ONE FOR 7 YEARS) for this problem! Yet, since it seems to fail right out of warranty - THOUSANDS are being affected. Previously-The 2014 Jeep Compass SUV is among the 522 vehicles recalled by Chrysler alongside the 2014 Jeep Patriot SUV, 2013 Dodge Avenger, and Chrysler 200, all of which are equipped with 2.4-liter engines that are touted to have engine oil pressure loss issues that may lead to sudden engine stall or failure BECAUSE OF THIS SAME OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ISSUE "! Yet No RECALL on 2014 models when the issue is so widely well known!? Problems --Large oil leak, could have gone on fire…

IN 2019 MY ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON WITH CODE P0520 - OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. I REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON A MONTH LATER WITH THE SAME CODE P0520, SO I REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR FOR A SECOND TIME. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER I BEGAN GETTING A GENERIC CODE P06DD. I HAVE SENSE REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR A 3RD TIME ALONG WITH THE OIL FILTER HOUSING AND OIL PUMP. IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK BUT THEN CODE P0520 - OIL PRESSURE SENSOR RETURNED. THERE ISSUE IS NOT MECHANICAL AND NO ONE HAS BEEN MECHANICAL AS ALL OF THE PARTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CODE HAVE BEEN REPLACED REPEATEDLY. NOBODY IS ABLE TO RESOLVE IT AND I CANNOT PASS INSPECTION UNTIL THEY DO.

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE GOT THE MACHINE ATTACHED THE CODE READ PO520 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT. WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER AND WOULDN'T REPAIR. WHILE I RESEARCHED WE FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT WAS ISSUED PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. THE OIL SENSOR SHOULD HAVE AND COULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRING IF THE DEALERSHIPS WERE MANDATED TO NOTIFY AND FIX ALL REPAIRS RELATED TO DEFECTIVE PARTS. DURING MY RESEARCH WE FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS A RECALL IN EXTENDED WARRANTY STATUS. REGARDLESS IF WE GOT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A DEALERSHIP TO SELL A USED VEHICLE WITH A…

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED DESPITE ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE HAVING BEEN CONDUCTED AS RECOMMENDED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS P0520 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH "A" CIRCUIT. SEEMINGLY THIS IS A FAULTY SENSOR/SWITCH WHICH HAS OCCURRED IN 12% OF DURANGO VEHICLES OF THE MANUFACTURER YEAR OF 2014.

A FEW WEEKS AFTER GETTING MY OIL CHANGED I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE VEHICLE. THE RESULT WAS A CODE P0520 WHICH INDICATES A FAULT IN THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME. MOST LIKELY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH.

TURNED ON CAR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IT SHOWS TROUBLE SHOOTING CODE P0520 OIL PRESSURE SENSOR MY CAR BARELY HAS 8100 MILES ON IT AND IT'S 1 YEAR AND 4 MONTHS OLD ALSO THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO CAUSING INTERFERENCE WITH MY REMOTE START. *TR

1ST PROBLEM ERRATIC IGNITION STALLING WHILE IN PARK.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GAVE A CODE P0520 SO AN OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS INSTALLED AND A FRONT CRANK SEAL SO THAT WAS REPLACED AT VEHICLE MILEAGE 51,722. 2014 TRAILHAWK STILL LEAKING OIL SO OIL PAN GASKET REPAIRED. STILL LEAKING OIL SO DIFFERENT MECHANIC ORDERED AN OIL FILTER HOUSIN COMPONENT TO FIX. HE SAID MANY OIL FILTER HOUSINGS IN JEEP CHEROKEES HAVE HAD THESE REPLACED!! SMELLED OIL WHILE DRIVING AND SAW OIL DROPS ON GARAGE FLOOR. THESE OIL FILTER HOUSINGS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. I'VE SPENT OVER $1500 TO FIX AN OIL LEAK BECAUSE MECHANICS MISDIAGNOSED. DEALERSHIP MECHANICS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THESE INFERIOR PARTS!

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.

VEHICLE SHOWING CEL (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) WITH NO PERFORMANCE ISSUES NOTED. CODE READ AND SHOWS P0520 RELATED TO THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR SWITCH. AFTER REVIEWING FORUMS, DETERMINED THAT A TSB EXISTS BUT NO RECALL ALTHOUGH THE DESIGN OF THE UNIT HAS BEEN CHANGED DUE TO DEFECT. REPLACING THIS UNIT TOOK A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT AS A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE TOP HALF OF THE MOTOR HAS TO BE REMOVED TO REVEAL THE SENSOR. REPLACED AND VEHICLE HAS BEEN OPERATING FREE OF THE CEL SINCE THAT TIME AND ACCURATE OIL PRESSURE READINGS ARE BEING RECEIVED. WITHOUT THE REPAIR, THE VEHICLE CANNOT PASS A NYS SAFETY INSPECTION AND FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE ARE DISABLED.
