Description of the problem | Frustration is the only word can describe this horrible car fiat 500l since i bought that car is been toll so many times to fiat dealer service. When was under guarantee, fiat service always said "it is nothing", "not problem", "now is working fine". Even when the car stopped on the street with smoke from the engine. Now when the guarantee expired 4 months ago: the car needs "new motor starter", they changed ($1600 plus $300 rental car for 21 days). But once the car has the new motor starter. Surprise!!! The problem is also the engine!!! Not power at all. Nothing!!!! Needs a new motor for car that now his price is only $6,000!!! So basically fiat just ripped me selling a defective car!!!! The engine is defective!!! Now i'm going to move the car to my house and try to sell it as junk! |
