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.

So while driving to the store, my transmission would not allow me to shift gears. Having the vehicle looked at, it was determined that the pressure plate in the transmission had failed. This problem was due to a equipment failure.
When contacting Fiat, got the "Sorry out of warranty" you should have had it towed 50 miles to the nearest "Studio" so we could repair it and charge you more.
