Description of the problem | Dec 23 2015 vehicle has 35,000 miles on it and the transmission went out in our driveway every gear was neutral. It was in the shop for 38 days before we received it back. All repairs done under warranty. Feb 9 2017 while in a parking lot the vehicle was put into reverse however the vehicle started to roll forward causing my wife to crash into a concrete pole in the parking lot damaging the front end. I contacted fiat customer care about the incident and they told me to take it to the dealer and after alot of talks they said they would fix the transmission error but not the damage it did i fixed other repairs so the vehicle could still be driven. Sept 15 2017 while driving in congested traffic vehicle was smoking and shifting rough would roll backwards if gas pedal was not fully depressed to the floor. Now we get the recall notice that states basicaly what we have been describing. Have not been able to take it to the dealer being that it is far away and have no other transportation. Nov 24 2017 while at a light the vehicle started making grinding noises and smelling like burning trans fluid then started to roll backwards almost hitting another vehicle will be taking it to the dealer on nov 28th for recal and look into the other issues like hesitation while pressing gas pedal making left hand turns scary when on coming traffic is near. |
