- Winter Haven, FL, USA

Only having 25,000 miles on car, driving down the interstate and had to slow down for standing traffic. I applied my clutch and the clutch pedal got stuck to the floor and did not want to return to the top. It has done it multiple times since then. Fca has a recall on this but does not include the abarth version of the 500. Just barely out of my warranty and this is a known problem that fca is just ignoring.

I pulled into a parking lot, got on the brakes, put the car in park however the car was registering in reverse. Before I knew it, the car was going backwards and I was moving toward passing traffic behind me. I cut the car off to stop it from going into traffic. The cars gearbox would not shift out of park. I attempted to start the car and try and move the gears but the car would not start. Needless to say I was stranded. I called a tow truck and was advised that is a known issue with Fiat but the dealership acts as if there isnt a recall around this"?" my car is an automatic but this should not be happening.

- Bethlehem, PA, USA

The car experienced a sudden clutch failure while driving on highway. This resulted in a very dangerous situation as the car no longer had power, and stopped on a section of highway with no shoulder space. The clutch was repaired at my cost in May 2016 (prior to the recall announcement, NHTSA recall number: 16V-302), and an online reimbursement request was made to Fiat in July 2016 (after the recall announcement). I checked the status of my reimbursement request in September, and was told "from what I am showing on the file it still has not been reviewed as the parts for the recall are not available at this time. Once the parts do become available for the recall then the file will be reviewed for the reimbursement process." My complaint is that I have already repaired the automobile, so availability of parts is irrelevant, Fiat is simply stalling reimbursement of the repair cost.
