Bought the vehicle used and it had zero issues. I bought 4 new tires and immediately after the RBS and ESC warning lights appeared but disappeared one day later. Fives days after the new tires the RBS & ESC warning lights reappeared but remained. I took it to the FIAT Dealership for a diagnostic and they stated that after following the flow chart it states to replace ABS Module due to internal failure. I held off on replacing the ABS module because a separate mechanic stated that it-€™s common with Fiats for the RBS & ECA warnings to appear after changing all tires. One month later the BRAKE warning light turned on (without the emergency brake in use) and the car began to jerk when in drive or when using the brakes (as I was driving). I had to drive slow with little pressure on the gas so that I would not have to use the brakes as every time I did the car would jerk very roughly and felt as if it was going to break.

Fiat made their 500e vehicles (electric) and sold them off as a tax relief. Unfortunately, many who have purchased this vehicles are experiencing similar issues. The car dies and the main battery is dead (not the small battery that you can replace/charge - the big one). Upon calling Fiat, they said it was covered under warranty - BUT- there is one part that is crucial to the install and the part costs $7,000. Our car is not worth 7k. We bought it for 10k four years ago and it has depreciated value. When we appealed with Fiat - they would not budge. We filed a claim for loss damages and it goes denied - twice. This is a known problem - many insurance companies and mechanics do not know how to process electric vehicles.

Began losing clutch, clutch/brake assembly had the 2 connecting bolts broken in half. Have pictures. Clutch interlock arrived bad, bypassed it; now the power steering, engine light and eos lights stay on. Car engine died then cranked up on its own while driving 60mph stating high temp (pull over, turn engine off) - had been in the car less than 1 minute, just long enough to get to 60 on the highway. Now clutch interlock, and brake interlock must be replaced.

I was driving a total of 4 and a half hours back home from a trip. Most of the trip was via straight freeway. I was 2 hours in when the check engine light started blinking. I called my dad who said to pull over immediately. I let my car glide through the exit that was coming up and I noticed smoke flowing behind my car. I pulled over and got out to see smoke coming out of the hood. I opened the hood and discussed what was happening with my dad. All of a sudden I heard a noise that sounded like a blow torch and flames came up out of the engine. I ran about 50-100 meters away and called 911. Quickly, the whole hood was on fire. Thankfully the fire department must have been close by because they were able to put out the fire before it got too far inside the car. The windshield melted and shattered. I found glass stuck on my purse and hat sitting in the passenger seat. I had to throw them away as I could not get the glass off. The car was taken to a tow yard where my insurance company inspected it. They could not find the cause for the damage. Since the car was a 2015 model that I had purchased new and it was 2018, I thought it was strange that this would happen so I had Fiat pick up the vehicle and inspect it. They said they did not find that the fire was associated with manufacturing or assembly error. I then had my insurance company take it and close the claim. Still find it strange that a 3 year old car suddenly caught on fire with no warning. I'm glad I was able to move off to the side and that I wasn't in the car when it caught on fire fully. The cause of the fire though is still unknown.

I ben receiving a recall notice since February of 2016 and been contacting my dealer for my Fiat to get checked ever since and they keep telling me theirs no parts available. I have recently contacted them for the past 3 months to get my clutch fixed as its been jumping to neutral when I'm on the freeway going 65-70 miles per hour and I don't feel safe. All I have received from them is no parts available and if I would like I can trade my car with $5000 down. One I don't have that kind of money and two I don't feel safe on the vehicle. I even contacted my finance to get help but they couldn't do much about it. Please help!

I have taken my car to a dealership because the clutch stopped working. My car is still under warranty. After my car was taken to a dealership, they told me there has been a recall on my car involving clutch and that they will replaced it. They also said it will be covered under the warranty. The next day they called me and told me that the car is still not working because the pressure plate is worn out and needs to be replaced. However, they said pressure plate is not covered under the warranty and I will have to pay for this part plus labor. I asked customer service representative if it is possible that the pressure plate damage was caused by the recalled clutch and he stated no, it is not possible. (I bought a brand new car 1 year and 4 month ago and only has 24,000 miles). I asked for a written letter stating that the pressure plate damage couldn't have been caused by the recalled clutch and they refused to provide me with anything in writing. After researching about the recall, it appears to me that the 2 recalled parts are directly connected to a pressure plate and therefore, could affected pressure plate. I am seeking help in making Fiat responsible for the damage caused by the recall. I have been unsuccessful to get any straight answers from them. Furthermore, they never sent me a recalled notice and if my car hasn't broken down in the middle of the road I would not have even known about the recall. I will attach repair information. The car broke down while my husband was driving. He was unable to press on the clutch or shift gears and had to physically push the car of the road.

Fiat sent a safety recall for manual transaxle clutch pedal in November, and again in late January but we moved to Alaska last summer and now live in juneau, Alaska which is only accessible by boat or plane and is 500 miles from the nearest Fiat dealer--either in bellingham, wa, or in anchorage, ak NHTSA recall site says that recall was issued May 10 2016; had we received a recall notice in may or June, we could have had the repairs done in albuquerque, as we did not leave albuquerque until July. There is a Chrysler dealership in juneau, and I called their repair shop number, but did not receive a call back. I don't know if Fiat could send the part and instructions to them to do the repair or not and fca did not offer that as a solution; they want me to incur the expense of ferry plus fuel etc. And I'm not sure that should be my responsibility

There is a manual transaxle clutch recall that can cause the inability to shift possibly resulting in loss of power. This is a significant safety issue but Fiat has no parts available to fix the problem. After two calls to Fiat, the most recent on 9/2/2016, there is no date available for parts availability an nothing they can do to address the resulting safety issue. We are all supposed to wait and hope for the best.

I purchased the car on May 22, 2015. Less that a week later I noticed a light on dash display for the tire pressure with a message stating "tire pressure monitoring unavailable." I took it back to the dealership. The service dept. Worked on the vehicle and stated it was repaired. Not 15 minutes after driving out of dealership the light was back on. I called the service dept. And was told to bring it back in. During the next appointment the service manager stated he had found the problem. He stated it was a module that needed to be ordered. I had to wait for delivery of this part for 3 weeks. When I took the car back, they replaced the module and the car was fine. Three weeks later, the light and message were back on. There is not even 1000 miles on the car yet. I am looking at other options for remedy.

Fiat 500 abarth 2015 after driving the car for about 30 min. I parked the car and after returning to leave I started the car backing out of parking space and the engine just died. Tried to start it 3 times with no cranking sound. Put the car in neutral and pushed the car back into parking space. 5 minutes later started the car with no problem. The engine light was on but not blinking. I decided to remove the gas cap and put it back on. The engine light stayed on for about a day and then went out. Called the dealership for an appointment.. the diagnose was a failed intake brick and replaced the intake actuator. Then did a PCM flash, flash, performed PCM software update/ then a tcm flash, flash, performed tcm software update.

Bluetooth display safety issue. A month after purchasing a new 2015 Fiat 500 abarth, the display for bluetooth / blue&me stopped working on the central cluster display. (I.e. no info display when a call comes in, no access to phonebook). Took the car to the dealer who reset it. Worked for about a month and failed again, so took it back to the same dealer who replaced the ctm (convergence telematics module). The new ctm then caused interference to the satellite radio, so notified the dealer. Waited a week and no response, so decided to call siriusxm myself for signal reset. All good for another month until the bluetooth display failed again for the third time. So basically same problem every month since purchase and per the dealer, there are six other Fiat at his dealership with the same issue and cannot be fixed. Talked to my case manager at Fiat corporate customer service who said they are looking into it. Another month has passed by and still no resolution to this matter. It is important to understand that this is a safety issue because when the steering wheel button fails and stops displaying incoming call info on the cluster, one has to look at the phone to see who is calling, which takes attention off of the road - exactly what the display system is designed to prevent.
