| Description of the problem | Having the same issue with difficulty shifting included in fca recall 16v302000. As with many other complaints filed with the nhtsa, fca and the dealership are denying my vin is covered in the recall, but i have a 2013 manual transmission fiat 500, and the recall includes 2012-2016 model years. The cable has not broken yet, but i am having great difficulty getting the car to shift into 1st and reverse. The recall specifically says this is a safety issue increasing the risk of crash if the cable breaks while operating the car, but fca is clearly no covering under recall all of the vehicles experiencing this problem. So, an otherwise perfectly maintained car is now leaving me questioning it |
