Default Need help... Car Dies over bumps.

Today i let my parents drive my car, and they drove it to seattle.
and And whenever they startede hitting bumps the oil light would flash and they described the car as stalling...
then they kept hitting them and eventually the car would die...
so now when the hit a bumb in the highway the car dies....
Does anyone have any idea what this may be?

I don't have my car but i told my dad to pop the hood and grab my sockets in the back and tighten the positive on the battery.

So he did that, and they are on their way back and haven't had problems yet.
So ill see if that solved it and let you guys know.

Oh sweet!
My friends laugh at me for it, i thought i was the only one.


And that ended up being the problem.
So it runs great now.
