| Description of the problem | I am reporting a second incident, the first was march 2015 odi #10693082, of the clutch overheating and my vehicle stalling out, this time it was in the middle of f street downtown dc on a friday night. I was sitting in traffic and attempted to make a three point turn when my vehicle stalled out with no warning, no smoke this time, no indication that it was overheating and died in the middle of making a three point turn and would not start again. I had to be pushed out of the street by strangers who assisted me and popped the hood so the vehicle could cool down. This car is putting me in precarious and dangerous situations. The clutch overheats sitting in traffic and it will in turn stall out and won't start again until the clutch cools down. This is a serious defect and i am asking you all for the second time to assist me in having fiat either replace or fix this issue in the 2014 fiat 500 l. |
