| Description of the problem | I received a recall notice informing me that my 2013 fiat 500e was not safe to drive until the power inverter module (pim) was fixed. I called concord of fiat per the recall notice to order the part, they informed me that they are able to order only one pim part per week. Due to this they are backed up "for months" and can not give me a date that my part will come in, nor a date that my car will be fixed. For over six weeks i have been unable to safely drive my car. I have filed a claim with fiat. They are unwilling to compensate me for my loss. I continue to remain up-to-date with my lease payments. |
