| Description of the problem | Our 2017 fiat 124 spider abarth alarm goes off randomly sometimes 4 or 5 times a day while driving. My wife has been on the freeway and lights flash and horn constantly goes off until she has to pull off in traffic and stop the car and restart. Pushing panic button does nothing. This is an ongoing problem with many fiat spiders and also miatas that are both built in the same plant. The dealer spent days but couldn't fix and now is going to order new bcm and fobs but from the forums on both cars i'm not hopeful. Thinking we may have to go the lemon law route but dealers are sneaky with not call backs and avoiding tripping the lemon law requirements. My wife is stressing out so badly with worry every day she commutes. This should be a recall in my opinion. |
