| Description of the problem | Engine light came on and it revealed a evap leak which has happened before and mechanic found no leak and said it must have been gas cap. A couple months later light came on again for the same evap leak code. But then the car began to shudder while coming to stop and ran odd. Took it to fiat dealership. Turns out there were three codes or more which cannot be read unless at dealership. Surprise surprise. Total repair costs were 2500 and i had no idea my car was messed up cause engine light did not indicate issues. Kept saying evap when i had an oil pressure sensor messed up. Gaskets leaking and a blown valve actuator assembly. Car has less than 45k and is well maintained and driven. Very upset at the lost of income. It hurts. It's a lot of money for no reason. Disappointed in american built cars. |
