CarComplaints.com Notes: Considering sales numbers and data that monitors complaints-per-make, there appears to be an unusually high number of issues with the 2012 Fiat 500. Perhaps that isn't surprising -- it is the first model year of the car, and those tend to have a higher incidence rate.

Of particular concern is the number of engine and powertrain complaints submitted to NHTSA.

My Fiat 500C Gucci Edition has been at the Fiat Dealer in Nova Scotia for FOUR weeks. The problem is the key/ignition, could not get the key out. Still waiting for parts four weeks later. Fiat Canada does not know where the part is located and Fiat did not offer a loan car, had to borrow from a friend.

Contacted Fiat North America today, waiting for reply. Most upset at this lack of service.

Update from Feb 13, 2014: well, my fiat 500 c is repaired and on its way home fiat canada offered compensation two oil changes!!!!!!!!!! for 34 days without my car el cheapo or what? sergio m. the ceo of fiat n.a. was on the news today at an auto show asking the gov. of canada to kick in millions to establish new plants in canada you would think they could keep one customer happy Nada if some compensation is not forthcoming my next car will not be a fiat

Update from Feb 16, 2014: fiat canada called and my car is at home updated the compensation to include 2 oil changes and 100 dollars of fiat merchandise not toooooooo bad will keep you updated
