Description of the problem	My car had problems shifting gears and the high coolant temperature light went on. The warning said stop and turn car off immediately. I pulled into my driveway and had the car towed to stateline fiat where i purchased the car. They topped off the coolant and said the car was ready to be picked up. I got in the car and it started to shake when i turned the ignition. They said it was a loose cap and tightened it. I drove back home and within 3 months the same thing happened again. The car was towed to a new local fiat. Over the past 2 and a half years, i have had to pull off on the side of the road multiple times and have the car towed. No one can seem to find the exact issue with the car, but they keep telling me it is fixed. The bottom line is i do not feel safe driving this car. I feel my safety and the safety of other drivers is in jeopardy when this vehicle is on the road.
