2012 Fiat 500 Lighting problems

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 fiat 500. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, the check rear driver light warning light was illuminated. The contact stated the left license plate bulb was not illuminating. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer arrigo fiat west palm beach (6500 okeechobee blvd, west palm beach, fl 33411, (561) 618-3160) where it was diagnosed with needing the rear lights assembly to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000. The consumer stated the repair would cost $475 at the dealer. The consumer purchased the license plate bulbs and personally installed the bulbs.

The rear high brake light wiring on the convertible wears and breaks in the driver's side c pillar due to use of the convertible top rendering the brake light non-operative. This seems to be a common problem with the fiat 500 convertible.

Intermittent exterior marker light failure. Front passenger marker light and rear driver's side brake light fail to operate on occasion. The light sensor in the gauge cluster alerts to failure. When later investigating, all lights appear to function properly.

The wiring harness gets crimped when it goes from the main body of the car into the hatch creating shorts and malfaction of electric components. As, does the rear wiper hose. Which leaks and empties into the wiring harness. This happens everywhere, at all times.

I took my car for inspection. Dealer informed me that license plate light failed. Bulb could not be replaced. I had to replace whole tailgate assembly for $500 just for the new bulb. New assembly they put in now has a replaceable bulb.

Third high center brake like wires keep breaking. They run along roof to trunk lid and the opening of the trunk lid causes this.

I need to replace the same lite once at month one of the lite burn onence a month

I can not get my headlights to shut off when I contact fiat at 888-242-6342 they tell me that it is some kind of updating software called follow me 30. I know for fact that this vehicle did not have this software available for the 2012 that software was only used on vehicles in 2010 and fiat didn't have 5 dealerships in the entire united states of america if they had one in 2010. The software follow me was only on foreign fiat cars also I keep getting a light saying tire pressure monitoring is unavailable! When I...

The car was purchased on april 15, 2016. Since then, I have had to take the car in for service several times. The first issue was a problem with the brake light. The second issue was that the gears would not move and I had to use a screw driver to change the car from park to drive and vice versa, drive to reverse and vice versa, etc... The third issue was that the car rolled backwards. The recent issue was for a recall on the powertrain control. In addition, the car while driving on the freeway and local...

The rear license plate lights have failed. The led bulbs are functional, but the wiring harness providing power to the lights has failed due poor routing of the harness resulting in broken wires and electrical shorts to the system. Other similar make and models of this car have suffered the same problem. The service department considerers this normal wear and tear. I consider this a manufacture defect. If this problem affected the headlights, this could be a major safety issue.

On three separate occasions, while driving at highway speeds at night, I have had the headlights fail! Suddenly just go dark! Each time, it happened when I operated a window switch. The outage each time was short, the headlights would come back on within seconds [though it seemed longer]. The service guys at the dealership haven't been able to solve it, no idea why it happened. *Tr
