My oil light comes on when you crank the truck and sometimes it will turn off once you crank the truck again. I've done some research and have seen lots of complaints on this issue said it's either the sensor or the oil pressure descending unit. Is there a recall on this if so I need to get this fixed. We have checked everything else so this shouldn't be a problem y'all need to look into his and get this fixed.

01/26/2015 @ 1545 +- hours pst. Driving on cruise control when I came to a 3 way stop. Tapped brake to come off cruise. Came to a complete stop behind 4/5 vehicles. Advanced at idle RPM (750). I was the 2nd vehicle in line when my engine RPM's started increasing. Applied hard brake, RPM continued to increase, enough to over ride the rear wheel brakes causing/allowing the tires to spin. I turned the ignition off, shifted to park, re-started the engine. After restart every thing performed as designed.

Continued failure of the exhaust manifold bolts on dodge 4.7 liter engines. I believe all repairs should be done under the emissions warranty up to 80,000 miles but that is not happening. Heads on the bolts are breaking at 50,00 and 60,00 miles. The bolts being used are clearly of bad design or defective from the factory..first the bolts on the passenger side failed and now the bolts on the driver side have failed. Internet is full of forums talking about this particular engine having this type of problem which has to be a violation of the vehicles emissions requirements.
