I have a 1998 dodge neon. I just had an oil change a few days ago. When I brake, my car shakes and my oil light comes on. It feels like it is going to stall, but doesn't. It doesn't shake when it accelerates though. Also, my car smells like something is burning. Does anyone know what the problem is and how much it would cost to fix? Thanks.

My car was not acting this way before I got the oil changed. I was just performing regular maintenance.

sounds like the timing is out so you may be burning to much oil hence the smell, or there is not enough oil in the resevoir and that smell is your engine cooking either way get it to a legitimate mechanic for a service before you cook the motor

Hi
It does not have to do with your breaks. This can be something to do with the ignition or the distribution belt. When you slow down the car the engine slow down the revolutions, if the engine time is not properly set, mechanic (belt) or electronic (ignition), then you will get the shakes. Check your engine temperature and compare it with what it was the normal temperature in your car. If your temperature is ok, then the smell could be assosiated with the oil change, sometimes oil spills in some heat spots or the engine, like the exauhst manifolds. When the engine is slowing revolutions the oil pump does not send the requierd oil presure to the system, That could be the oil light indication on your panel. Take your car to a mechanic, tell him about the simptoms. If the problem is the ignition or the belt , cost should be between $300.00 to $600.00 depending on how severe is the damange

Do not drive the car. There is a serious problem here and if you are running the engine you will ruin the engine. The oil needs to be changed again. To me it sounds like the shop messed something up. They may not have put in enough oil. Check the dipstick with the motor off. It is pretty self exploratory if the stick says the oil is low add more. Look under your vehicle for a leak as well.

sounds like your oil sensor is out it is usually at the bottom of your car.underneath some run for as many as 60.00 to 80.00 dollars. labor 90.00 dollars an hour but you can get it out with the right socket have someone(mechanic) point it out to you,you might know someone who works on cars who will do it for you for free oil sensors will leak a small drip at a time that might be the burning smell. also make sure whoever did your oil change put the cap back on and the oil plug on tight enough mistakes do happen...

If you can smell something burning, it might mean that its loosing oil, did you check if the oil fill cap is screwed on , and if its not loosing oil at the drain plug, underneath the engine, sometimes after a oil change, if they did not replace the sealing washer, it looses oil. Check these things as soon as possible, or it could ruin your engine.

Better check it right away, you are burning oil and may need a new motor/car. Then again the oil change folks may not have put the drain plug back tight enough

I would take van back to where you got oil change done.. Sounds like the didnt get something tight. such as your drain plug, oil cap, or even oil filter. As for the burning smell most common thing is they spilt oil on your engine... AND if something is missing your engine will stop running after all oil is pumped out...

The people who changed your oil probably overfilled it and you are to high of an oil pressure read and burn the oil off which can also make your car stall

I hate to be the bearer of undesirable information yet I,m afraid out of your description that I in all likelihood would be.The oil gentle comes directly to enable you realize that the engine oil tension is dangerously low, and the damn noise you hear is a minimum of the engine lifters damn or at worst a rod bearing noise.i prefer to propose you not tension it anymore and function it regarded at good away.you will desire to be waiting to get by potential of with changing the oil pump to easily right your low oil tension difficulty yet whilst it has not already achieved so it easily will injury the connecting rod bearings or maybe injury the crankshaft wherein case you will would desire to change the engine. Get it regarded at at recent or you will maximum fairly injury the engine the way it rather is.HURRY!!

When the oil light comes on it is to late!! You have alreday done damage to the motor!! it probably has no oil or the oil pump went on it!! The motor needs to get rebuilt or get a used one put in!! It will run you over a thousand dollars!!! Good luck!!
