| Description of the problem | Vehicle goes into "limp mode" anytime wheels slip, untill computer clears no throttle or motion, vehicle is inoperable for over 5+ seconds and then accelerated at whatever position throttle is at. Dealer and mechanics say all new fiats 2 and 4wheel drive all have this issue and they cannot fix. I pulled out into traffic, wheel slipped and went into limp in middle of lanes untill it cleared and took off at half throttle and almost got smeared by traffic. Dealer says all fiats have same problem and only solution is to give a lot of lead time before entering traffic and try not to accelerate as to make wheels slip when road conditions may cause slipping. This has happend pulling out into traffic and while on ramps, hills. If on curve or hill vehicle will go int "limp mode" and will just slide down hills and through curves!!! |
