My Fiat keeps giving transmission errors. I took the car to concord, ca Fiat for diagnostics 10/2019 and they were unable to report an issue. They 'reset the computer' and sent us off. Now in 02/2020 I'm still getting error messages and the car locked up in the middle of the road refusing to turn off, shift gears, or move at all. For 15 minutes.

The car states the electric parking break needs service. Brake is locked. Car cannot move. Also states transmission requires service. Vehicle received service two weeks ago. I've had issues ever since dealer conducted the cooling fan recall last month.

  • 700 miles
The contact owns a 2016 Fiat 500X. While driving various speeds, the gear selector erroneously switched from drive into neutral, which caused the vehicle to lose power. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (rick case Fiat/Chrysler of davies, Florida), but the cause of the failure was unable to be diagnosed. In addition, while driving in reverse, the brakes malfunctioned, locked up, and the vehicle would not move. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake pads were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 16V529000 (power train), although the failures were identical. The failure mileage was 700.
