The contact owns a 2017 Fiat 500. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH, the check engine, TPMS, and several unknown warning lights illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle was jerking and making an abnormal sound. The failure was recurrent. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who was unable to duplicate or determine the cause of the failure. The dealer was contacted by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 15,873.

After a sudden stop (no impact), the car would no longer go into or come out of gear while running. When the car is not running it will still shift normally. The repair shop initially thought it was the slave cylinder but the problem persisted. They then changed the clutch and are now recommending replacing the inner CV axle boot. The problem described is similar in symptons to the existing recall on 2012-2016 Fiat 500s and the partial recall on 2017 Fiat 500s. It seems logical that all of these issues are somehow related to a flaw in the design or manufacturing.

The light that informs of an air bag problem goes on. The dealer ship repairs and a week later the light goes on again. Back to dealership,fixes problem? Light goes on in a day. This thursday 8/11/22 will be the 4th attempt to solve the air bag issue.

The PCM system does not work at all and brakes seem off - either they stop too hard or drag when pressing in them

My 2017 Silver FIAT 500 pop has a defective miles odometer that flashes. The car was purchased from Tobin Fiat of Las Vegas on 8/21/2017. I test drove this car to my home for 3 days before buying it. On day 2 it starting flashing. I returned to the dealer, reported it and was told it would be repaired. I have over 40 Videos on my cel phone that prove its defective over a 4 year period. Most resent issues on, 10/30/21, 11/1/21, 11/10/21. All 3 parties have refused to fix, repair or replace what causes the flashing...

Car stopped and quickly slowed down without warning. I had very little time to steer car to the side of the road. The rbs/abs system started slowing the car on its own. I had only been going 30 mph, however had I been in a center lane on a freeway at 60 mph, I would have not been able to get it off the road.

The miles indicator flashes. Purchased 8/21/17 and still flashes. Dealership: tobin fiat 2550 s. Jones blvd. Las vegas, nv89146

Car has moved out of "park" 4 times and the last time rolled down my drive way and hit another car. I want to have this vehicle returned and get another car. We took this vehicle into the dealer about 4 months ago for electronic gauge and system problems. They said there was nothing wrong with it. I don't believe them anymore.

After owning the vehicle for just 5 months, I was pushing in my passenger side view mirror and it popped off. I went back and forth with the dealer, taking in a couple of times to take pictures. After 2 months, fiat has come back to say that this is normal wear and tear and is not covered by warranty.

Using a large and relatively heavy key ring and inadvertently hitting it while adjusting the radio caused the engine to shut down while driving on a city street on three occasions. Removing the key ring and using the key without a ring solved the problem. After removing the key ring there were no more incidents.
