| Description of the problem | Driving the car in 70 degree temperature. Drove the car approximately 3miles from our home to a drive through to get a drink. The car suddenly began smoking extensively from the engine compartment, smelled of something burning then died. Was able to get the car started long enough to move it from the drive then it died again and was able to roll into a parking spot. After restarting the accelerator was unresponsive. Bought the car only 13 days ago from a dealership that is connected to a fiat dealer. Car had to be towed 45 miles to the fiat dealer. Have not heard back yet as its the weekend. |
