Unhappy Crossfire Emergency Lights/Oil light issues/Car won't go. HELP needed please!

Hey there,

I am really hoping I can get some help/information about this problem I am having with my Crossfire. Typically only had this car about 6 months after finally saving up enough to buy one! The car has been perfect since have had and no issues at all but recently in the last few weeks the oil light started coming on, so I put more oil in and the oil light went off but then a week or 2 later the oil light came back on....this has happened a few times now and there is no way it could be needing that much oil.

Anyway that to the side....now on to the more concerning issues, because of the continued problems with the oil light coming on I thought either the sensor was faulty or maybe it needed just resetting (had thought could be oil leak but don't see any signs of that) so after doing a little look on google I come across something which told me how to reset the oil light. I followed what it said and it seemed to work (as I heard the beep etc) but only thing that I found odd is at the end of resetting it says it should say "7,000" on the panel.
Mine doesn't say that and instead says something odd such as "-469" so I am not sure if I have reset it properly or not. I tried resetting it again a few times but it does the exact same thing....I therefore left it at that and carried on my journey to see if it had worked and the oil light didn't come back on.

Unfortunately that didn't last long and the oil light came back on within 2 or 3 minutes, then another few mins later (and this is what has worried me the most) almost all the lighst came on at the same time on the panel and when I pressed the accelerator, I could tell something wasn't right.
The engine was still running but it was almost like it was stuck in gear, it basically just wouldn't accelerate! I therefore put my hazards on and then I tried turning the engine on/then turned it back on and all the lights atleast weren't on this time, if I tried to drive everything was completely normal and no issues with accelerator at all. It also seemed to drive fine with no issues for about 5 minutes but then the same thing happened again....so I stopped and repeated what I did earlier by turning engine on/off and I was good to go again.

Therefore totally confused and rather worried what could be wrong, I would really appreciate anyone's input that has knowledge about these things as to what could be causing these issues!

Thanks,
Justin
