2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Fuel delivery system – specifically the low-pressure fuel pump failed, causing poor engine performance and ultimately requiring replacement. The repair was completed by an authorized Alfa Romeo dealer. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle began running rough and could have stalled unexpectedly, which presents a safety risk if it occurs in traffic or at highway speeds. Loss of engine performance can reduce the driver’s ability to accelerate or maintain speed, increasing the risk of a collision. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The issue was diagnosed and confirmed by an authorized Alfa Romeo dealership, which replaced the fuel pump under extended warranty. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle was inspected and repaired by an authorized Alfa Romeo dealer. No inspection was conducted by police or insurance representatives, as no accident occurred. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. The vehicle exhibited rough running conditions along with repeated safety warning lights over a period of approximately two weeks prior to the failure. The warnings became more frequent leading up to the repair, indicating a worsening condition. Given the nature of the failure and its similarity to issues identified in prior model years, I request that this matter be evaluated for a potential defect trend and considered for further investigation.
