| Description of the problem | I am seeking answers from fiat usa. The transmission design for the fiat 500l trekking is unsafe. I have had three transmission since i purchased the vehicle in february 2015. The first transmission broke apart while i was driving the vehicle. The second and third stopped working after clutch overheating, shifting, and communication loss. Fiat placed a fourth transmission in the vehicle and i refuse to continue to drive it. I have been in some dangerous driving situations because of the faulty transmissions. Fiat response "were going to fix your car regardless if you agree with us". |
