2012 Fiat 500 Engine problems

I've had 3 different issues with the transmission- There's been 1 recall on the clutch- The transmission put me in Great danger I was driving on the freeway about 60 mph when the car just popped into neutral- I was terrified and I managed to pull to safety to put the manual transmission into gear- I didn't want it to happen again- I had to hold the gear until I got to an exit to get off the freeway- I had the Fiat towed to the dealership and fixed- then 6 months later driving again and it jumps out of gear into...

I bought this car about a year ago, ever since I got the car the first issue started within a month it just started to shut off for no reason first at a traffic light, afterward while I was driving called the dealership who sold me the car I was told to bring it to find out they did not have a certified Fiat Mechanic that would be able to look at the car so it was towed to another dealership. I was told they fixed the issue but once again the vehicle started doing the same thing even more frequently fast forward my...

Just like everyone else that owns a 2012 it won't hold oil pressure

The starter motor fails to engage at random times. I have taken it to the dealership and to local mechanics and none have been able to replicate the issue. The starter motor will sometimes start right up for them, causing them to rule out a faulty starter. If the vehicle is left over night, it may start right back up. After selling the car on 2 occasions, both new owners reported within 24 hours of ownership that the vehicle would not start after having driven it for more than 10mi. I believe fca is well-aware of...

While driving home via local city surface streets, the gearbox fail light and the have transmission checked message came up on the dash cluster. I drove the car 4 more miles to a service station, stopping twice on the way. The car began running poorly. Including bucking, revving high, while staying at low speed, stalling and bucking at lights low idle or stops. The service station said other than a low number (4 times per 1000 I think...A cylinder misfire) no codes came up. When reset the car would run...

Car sometimes cuts off while driving with no warning. All guages spike, car cuts off. I pull over and it starts back up. No codes were stored. This is very dangerous. Can't find the problem.

We've replaced the shifter cable on the fiat twice on our own. Recently, fiat replaced it under recall no. 19V817000. Fiat's replacement cable/bushing lasted three shifts. Shifted into drive to leave the dealership. Shifted into park at home. Shifted into drive on next use and the cable was detached. Fiat's solution is not an improvement. Comparing the replacement bushing with the old bushing, there isn't any difference that will prevent this issue. This is a dangerous issue. The first time it occurred we were...

Car is very young, 24, 781 miles and turned in by prior owner with 22,400's miles. After car was sold with a recall, it was noted it also suffers from oil leaking from the rear main transmittion, per mechanic it affects both the transmition and the motor, and could cause death if car ran out of oil. Leak per several independent mechanics is too soon for a fiat with so little miles, and a car that still owns the original tires, wipers, and still has the smell from when it was new. Car by prior owner was for...
