 Description of the problemI am writing out of serious concern over the overheating clutch on the fiat 2014 500l trekking model. I had absolutely loved my fiat, until it overheated after sitting in a car wash line for all of maybe ten minutes at the most. Scared and embarrassed that my car was on fire, i had to be pushed out of line and assisted by the car wash manager, who popped the hood and told me to call for a tow. I then called the dealership service dept and was told that unless the engine light was on or transmission light, that the overheating was a common consequence of stop and go traffic with a duel transmission. I then went online and saw all the various complaints about the same issue from other 500 l owners much to my disappointment and dismay. I live in washington dc, the capitol city with the norm being stop and go traffic, the worst in the nation. I told the service rep that i had smelled something burning on a prior occasion but never experienced full on smoke and the vehicle stalling out because it was overheated with absolutely no warning from my fiat, no service light or anything indicating the clutch was overheating. Do i need to tell you all how dangerous the overheating issue can be in traffic with no warning, stalling out, won? T start again until it cools down? This is a serious defect. I am brokenhearted and extremely disappointed with being told by the dealership that fiat usa will not repair/fix this issue and, to tell owners it is a consequence of a new engine, although i am close to 10k miles. That is absurd, please help me and other fiat 500 l owners rectify this matter and prevent other consumers from having this headache in the future.
