Description of the problem | 1. The vehicle will not shift into gear to accelerate after braking. This result into the car going into traffic and risking a crash due to its inability to shift into gear to accelerate faster. I have had this problem since purchase in 2016. The dealer said that it was normal for fiats. 2. The car will not shift in gear. Most times it does not allow me to go into reverse or drive from park. It notifies me to go into neutral first then in reverse/drive. Most times this has to be done about 4-5 times before it allows me to move. Some days it doesn't move at all. Some days the check engine light comes on and some days it doesn't. There is something here that is not connecting. This is a hazard to myself and my children because there has been times when the car just turn off on its on and when trying to crank it, it wont initially. Or once running, it won't move at the traffic light. There have been complaints about this issue from other owners of this car make and model. I took it in to a fiat dealership/service and they notified me there was no recall but it was indeed sensors going off for the the transmission. They then tried to charge me. This should be recalled and service at no cost. This was a problem since i purchased this car and was mislead by the running conditions of this car. |
