On the way home tonight, my vehicle lost power, service engine soon light was flashing, vehicle decreasing power, lost oil pressure, turn engine off was the message. We pulled over and shut the vehicle off, it did not turn back on after sitting for a while, had vehicle towed home. Any ideas what this could be?
The first place to start is the flashing engine lite. that means cylinders are not firing at all or improperly and driving it like that for even short period could cause heavier damage. particularly valves and cat converter(s) the computer really needs to be scanned for codes in order to proceed. did the oil lite come on before or after engine quit. after engine quit would be normal cause it stalled. its possible that it needs spark plugs and/or coils. or more
It sounds to me like you ran out of gas.

I have had this same issue, It happened several times, but always steadied, I noticed that all lights would dim and get brighter than normal and this was my driving lights as well, then noticed lights and meters on dash going crazy. I have also blown some lights due to this issue. Now it seems to be messing with the computer or the running of the engine as now it misses alot, and vibrates.
added oil to vehicle it will now start but is still running very rough
vehicle lost power, light with the key on dash came on...engine is not turning on/vehicle is not coming on.
