| Description of the problem | My wife was in traffic and her vehicle would not go and the transmission light came on. She was stranded and had to call a wrecker. The dealer tested the vehicle and found nothing wrong except that it was the double clutch design flaw and stated i needed to call fiat and place a complaint. I did so and fiat said it was a natural design characteristic and se needs to put the car in neutral when in stop and go traffic. Lets face it if the dealer would of stated that when i purchased the vehicle i would not have purchased it. How stupid does fiat think we americans are? I am going forward with a lawsuit. Do not ever purchase a fiat product !!! |
