| Description of the problem | I can not get my headlights to shut off when i contact fiat at 888-242-6342 they tell me that it is some kind of updating software called follow me 30. I know for fact that this vehicle did not have this software available for the 2012 that software was only used on vehicles in 2010 and fiat didn't have 5 dealerships in the entire united states of america if they had one in 2010. The software follow me was only on foreign fiat cars also i keep getting a light saying tire pressure monitoring is unavailable! When i call fiat i get poor customer service i even had a lady call me a criminal for giving my whole vin # she stated she needed to "make sure you didn't just walk by the vehicle and give a vin # that you got from something else." i believe fiat is hacking in to vehicles in an effort to get customers to bring the vehicles to ken graff fiat 198 e 500 south salt lake city utah 84111. I refuse to go back to this car dealership because they seem to be more concerned whith when and where i purchased the car and if i had a car note fiat tried to pretend that they didnt have parts avalible and to get me to drive a loaner car. I own my car! I dont have a car note and it seems to be alot of funny business going on in regards ken graff and chysler fiat aurbun hills refuses to help with the matter also the milegage seems to have slowed down a whole lot for example if i drive 20 miles it will only show 15. I want my car to work not be a danger to my child and myself my car now has 176,000 miles on it! |
