Not sure what the cause is...But I've done a couple at the dealership that have failed weeks later as well. I've heard of alot of replacement sensors failing lately. What can you do but do it again :crazy:

This makes two or three times I have heard of this happening. Perhaps try an aftermarket brand and see if it solves your problem.

Re: oil pressure sensor (birch64)
Mine went bad, it was replaced, that one went bad after 6 months to a year. Now this last one has been on the car for 15K miles.
Not sure that part they used, if it was the new or old one.
