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.
