| Description of the problem | My wife told me of this happening to her and i didn't believe her until it happened to me. So, i'm driving down neighborhood streets at about 45 mph, the posted speed limit, and i go to cross an intersection and the car loses all power with traffic headed towards me. Luckily, it regained power a few seconds later, but i feel we've just been lucky so far. My wife has experienced this several times, on highways, neighborhood roads, etc. And i have experienced it twice now. The next day, the drive mode unavailable message came on when i started the vehicle and would not go. Took it to the dealership the first time i experienced it and was told the old update story. Took it in again and they kept it a whole week the next time and couldn't find anything wrong they said. It keeps happening, the computer keeps turning off our display, and i believe the engine fan may be going out now. Not a good/quality vehicle at all and i feel like fiat doesn't have any answers for the problems as we keep being told "updates," yet it continues happening. |
