2012 Fiat 500 Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1345298
Internal NHTSA #	10938881
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	FIAT
Model	500
Model Year	2012
File date	30/12/16
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The clutch peddle recall s-34 does not fit the problem with the fiat clutch assembly. The root cause of the problem is excessive pressure on the throw out bearing and subsequently the pressure plate. My clutched failed at 105170 miles at under 1 mph while going from a stop to putting it into reverse to park at my workplace in baton rouge, la. This occurred in late august and i was without my primary transportation until december 30th due to parts not being available for the recall issued and the recall not covering all of the failed parts as it should have. The consumer should not be responsible for a design failure on the manufacturers part and should not have to pay $1500 for a repair that fiat and the nhtsa should have recalled when clutches started failing with less that 20000 miles on them back in 2012. Fiat needs to own up to their failure and recall the entire clutch assembly not just the peddle. That is like putting a bandage on a time bomb hoping nobody notices.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
