| Description of the problem | I have had at least 5 incidents so far with my fiat turning completely off while driving down the road. I have taken it in numerous of times to the dealer with no luck. I have documented each and every time my car decides to shut off while driving. I find my car to be a safety hazard to me and my family as well as others. The dealerships seem to not know why my fiat tends to shut down while driving. First i had only about 25000 miles and it shuts off while turning in a 4 way intersection, fiat place had me take it in just to say it needed an update. Second time i stalled in my neighborhood with my children inside. Called the dealer, said it needed an update. 3rd time happened while driving it to the dealership the same day. Dealer had it for two weeks and said it was a new update that caused my fiat to turn off completely. 4th time happened while i driving down the road at 45mph and dealer had me bring it in and said it was caused by my key fob battery ( literally just changed the batteries the day before). All bs from the dealers mechanics. So i called fiat customer service and they told me i should not be driving the vehicle at all, i should return the car to the dealer to have them run test. They had it for a month and said it was caused by my driving habits and they could not do anything about it. So now my fiat decides to shut off while driving 70mph 49000 miles on the interstate, thankfully i was in the slow lane and was able to coast to a safe position to put my car in park and restart. This has been happening since the 3rd month of ownership june 2017. |
