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.
Purchased the car and the light came on. It was serviced by adding air on the tires, so it went away for one day. I returned to the dealership and I was asked to make an appointment. After arriving at my appointment I was told it is an electrical issue and it is costly, mind you the car is no longer under the warranty in lieu it is either 4 years or 50,000 miles. Per the mechanic it will be costly.
