Description of the problem	While driving in downtown seattle traffic, gear would not shift into 1st or 3rd gears. It would only move from 2nd to 4th, then, to 6th. Had to pull over, switch off the car, wait about 10 minutes. Then, as i turned the car back on, it was working as if nothing happened. That happened 3 times, already: at the beginning of may, then on may 22nd and, then, on may 31st (last time it happened, so far). Took the car to the fiat dealership (in renton, wa) on june 04th and they said it the tcm is attempting to actuate the gear shift 1st-3rd and it fails to reach the tcm requested engagement position. There is an error code for that: p1cb1-00-gear shift actuator 1 engage failure. They say the cost is about 6,000 dollars but that won't guarantee it will fix the problem once and for all. This is a huge safety concern as this can cause an accident and, possibly, fatalities. Fiat should be responsible for fixing the problem not the customer. My car has only 22,801 miles and purchased it in february 2014. I pretty much drive short distances, hence the lower mileage (compared to what is expected from a 2014 car).
