Check engine light blinking car shaking, oil light on after a few miles from starting

I have a 2005 Dodge Stratus thathas recently begun to shake violently at low speed and the check engine light blinks constantly. The oil light has been occurring for a little longer, but I got an oil change done and had thought that was the issue. The oil light doesn't come on if it remains at highway speeds, and the shaking is not noticeable either, it hi ist sounds like something isn't right any ideas?

May be low oil, low oil pressure (faulty oil pump) or a bad pressure switch. When your at highway speeds the pump, pumps faster & brings the oil to the right PSI. Try a thicker oil than called for, get the oil pressure checked,oil leaks? & get the switch ckd out.

SOURCE: car engine light on light blinking shaking over due for oil chang

Your engine has a cylinder miss-firing, that not only shakes the car but makes the check engine light blink the cylinder number that is missing, don't drive the car this way or u will overheat the exhaust catalytic converter, this can cause a fire.

SOURCE: Shaking engine, weak power, blinking check engine light

You have a bad coil pack, they usually crack from age and heat. It's best to replace them all. Check for a VW recall on this item.

SOURCE: My check engine light is on and it often shakes

Bring it in so that the check engine light will be off and it will run smoother.

SOURCE: The car shakes at 35 mph then as you increase

It can be the suspensions or the shock absorbers, check also the engine mountings.
i will be good to take a full checkup of all the links and suspension bushes in the car. so a full test on the shocck absorbers, test the wheel bearings the hubs and if the discs are bend even is if the balancing was done.

My car tried to shut off going down the highway. Then it was shaking mildly. engine light came on flashing.This is a 1999 Dodge Stratus- 4cyl.-2.7 engine

The flashing engine light means the miss is bad enough to cause damage to the catalytic converter. The check engine light does not involve engine oil.
Are you saying the timing belt is not turning the cam ?

Dodge stratus shaking

if this is happening at a stand still then its not a brake problem as you have to be moving applying the brakes to get a car shake from the brakes. you may need a tune-up due to a miss fire which you will have to check out. another possible problem could be a vacume leak causing the engine to try to stall, like a bad pcv valve. although most vacume leaks cause an increase in idle. some things to check out.

2002 nissan altima started shaking and check engine light came on

Blinking means that the problem is so bad that it can damage the engine if you drive it. You need to get a code reader from an autoparts store and read the codes to see what the issue is.

We where parked outside an mall and we started up our Honda Pilot 2004 then the car started shaking like if a pipe or a tube was clogged. Then when we started to move The VTM-4 light turned on red aswell...

you may have purchased some bad fuel only. it happens alot. pay attention to the fuel that you purchase as hondas are known for rejection of ethynol based fuel. or you bought bad gas that had water in it. be loyal to the place that you purchase your fuel! if it sounds to good to be true,well you know. the best fuel is 93 octane at the place that you can trust to sell 93octane right? i can't recommend a certain buisness,but oil spills are never good. good luck and thank you for choosing fixya.com.

2002 Dodge Stratus Squeaks

I would check the lower control arm bushings and sway bar bushings for the squeak,and the shaken when breaking means you have warped rotors,if it shakes in the steering wheel its the frt,if the whole car shakes then it usaaly means it is in the rear rotorsor drums.
