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.

stopped in intersection, forward in neutral reverse in first
Purchased the 2012 Fiat 500 manual in 2014, only 13,000 miles. only 21,000 now. one year later, it stopped while I was going into a grocery store (fortunately, nobody behind me. THEN 3 months ago, I was parked in a mall in a parking spot and had it in NEUTRAL, and it just sped FORWARD, (again, no car in front of me) and NOW, I was at an intersection to cross the street, and had it in FIRST and it went into REVERSE!!!!!????? This is VERY dangerous and concerning me now. I am a widow and I do NOT want to continue driving this until it can be fixed but FIAT keeps telling me they DO NOT have the repair parts yet???
It's been 3 months since I received my notice, (THEY SHOULD HAVE THESE PARTS BY NOW)???
What am I to do until then????? If I am in an accident, who is going to be responsible and pay for any damages or injuries???? (LET ALONE MY OWN SAFETY ISSUES)???
