2016 Fiat 500X

LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON HERE MY CAR HAS MULTIPLE ISSUES. CAR SHIFTS HARD FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. FUEL CAR PROPULSION SEEMS OFF, DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE, DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS DON'T WORK, TOUCH SCREEN ON DISPLAY QUIT WORKING, CAR DOESN'T ALERT ME OF LOW OIL LEVEL, IT HAS SHUT OFF BUT I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S A SAFETY FEATURE WHEN YOUR OIL IS TO LOW SO YOU DONT BLOW YOUR CAR UP, CAR USES WAAAYYY TO MUCH OIL, GAS MILEAGE ISN'T THAT GREAT, BRAKES WERE REPLACED EVER SINCE A LOT OF TIMES MY CAR WILL SCREECH WHEN I GO TO APPLY THE BRAKES, OH AND BATTERY IS BAD LITERALLY JUST REPLACED IT HAD CORROSION AND ACID LEAKING OUT. I REALLY WANTED TO LOVE THIS CAR BUT IT'S BEEN KIND OF A DISAPPOINTMENT. I AM THE SECOND OWNER, I BOUGHT IT IN 2018 WITH ABOUT 45K MILES AND IT JUST HIT 100K A CAR FOUR YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS IT'S REALLY UNACCEPTABLE. ITS JUST MY EVERY DAY DRIVER I MAINTENANCE IT REGULARLY AND THE MILES ARE MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. ALL OF THIS JUST WITHIN 2 YEARS AND 50K MILES PRETTY UNBELIEVABLE. I AM TAKING IT TO A FIAT DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIX SOME OF THESE ISSUES

THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND THE DEALERSHIP IS FULLY AWARE. SINCE THE BEGINNING, THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY SAY DRIVE MODE UNAVAILABLE, EVEN WHILE IN OPERATION. IT GOES INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT SHIFTING AND ALWAYS HAS. THE TRANSMISSION MESSES UP IF I SWITCH INTO SPORT FROM AUTO ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT ALWAYS HAS. THE STEERING WHEEL FELL APART ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND I HAD TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP, IT HAS STARTED FALLING APART AGAIN. THE DASHBOARD STARTED COMING APART AND THAT HAD TO BE REPAIRED. THE TRUNK LOCKS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT, AND ALWAYS HAS. I WILL CLOSE IT AND IT WILL IMMEDIATELY UNLOCK. THIS PREVENTS ME FROM LOCKING THE CAR AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT'LL FLY OPEN IF I TRY TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO LOCK. THIS CAN LITERALLY TAKE HOURS! 2 WEEKS AGO, MY CAR ACTUALLY STARTED BY ITSELF AT 10:30 PM. I HEARD A CAR ALARM AND ASSUMED IT WAS A NEIGHBOR'S CAR. IT WAS MINE. MY KEYS WERE DOWNSTAIRS IN MY PURSE. I WAS UPSTAIRS BINGING LAW AND ORDER SVU. I COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO SHUT OFF. IT WAS RAINING AND DARK AND I LIVE ALONE AND I DON'T KNOW MY NEIGHBORS. LUCKILY SOMEONE CAME TO HELP ME ANYWAY. THE ALARM AND RADIO WE'RE BOTH BLARING NONSTOP. THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL HAD TO BE PULLED, TO SHUT IT OFF. THIS HAPPENED FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW. NOW IT WON'T START. THE BATTERY IS FINE, THE RADIO AND LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS COME ON. EVERY POSSIBLE MECHANICAL FAILURE CODE IS SHOWING UP, ABS SYSTEM, KEYLESS ENTRY, POWER STEERING, REMOTE START, AIRBAGS, CHECK ENGINE ETC ARE ALL SHOWING AS DEFECTIVE. THIS CAR IS A LEMON. POMOCO JEEP CHRYSLER IN NN, VA, KNOWS IT'S A PIECE OF CRAP. INSTEAD OF LABELING AT WHAT IT IS, THEY EXPECT ME TO BRING IT IN CONSTANTLY AND CONSTANTLY BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION. IF I DIDN'T NEED A CAR, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED ONE. I WOULD LIKE A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, INDEPENDENT OF CHRYSLER AND IT'S DEALERSHIPS, TO FULLY EXAMINE AND DIAGNOSE THE ISSUES WITH MY CAR.

I OWN A 2016 FIAT 500X, UNSURE OF THE MODEL BECAUSE I WAS TOLD I WAS PURCHASING A TREKKING BUT PAPERWORK STATES LOUNGE 2. THE VIN NUMBER HAS BROUGHT UP THE DIFFERENT TWO MODELS DEPENDING ON WHAT VIN SEARCH YOU USE. ONE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, ARE THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS. AT THE CURRENT TIME, IT HAS A BLINKER, REAR TAILLIGHT AND A BRAKE LIGHT OUT. AND WHEN ONE LIGHT GOES OUT, USUALLY 2-3 OTHER LIGHTS FOLLOW. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME IT'S GOING IN FOR REPAIRS FOR THAT ELECTRICAL ISSUE. IT IS ALSO CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. YESTERDAY AFTER I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED, SEVERAL LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD, PARK BRAKE FAILURE LIGHT, TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT AND THE ESC LIGHT. WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE MODE, A LIGHT WARNING ME THE DRIVE MODE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH. ONCE I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND THE VEHICLE JUMPED INTO NEUTRAL. THE BACKUP CAMERA HAS STAYED ON BEFORE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO 2 DOOR HANDLES HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE DRIVERS SIDE KNOB THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE, SEEMS TO BE STICKING LIKE THE ONE BEFORE IT THAT COMPLETELY BROKE OFF.

MY CAR WAS STATIONARY. SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I WAS CLEANING THE INTERIOR OUT. LISTENING TO MY RADIO. THEN ALL THE SUDDEN A BUNCH OF WARNING LIGHTS START GOING OFF. PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST DYING SO I TRIED TO START IT. THE ALARM STARTS BLARING. EVENTUALLY THE CAR SHUT IT SELF OFF. AND NOW IT WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. IT'S JUST EXTREMELY SCARY THINKING I COULD OF BEEN DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD BETWEEN ONE AND TWO. AND OCCASIONALLY THE RADIO TURNS IT'S SELF ON AND OFF. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH 43,000 MILES. IT'S INSANE AND INCREDIBLY UNSAFE WITH THESE ISSUES. AND NOW IT'S DEAD IN MY DRIVEWAY. I GET PARKING LIGHTS OUT AND DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHT OUT INDICATOR. ROUGH IDLE ON COLD STARTS SOMETIMES. *TR

SINCE AUGUST 2019 , THE 2016 FIAT 500X HAS BEEN IN FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IN AUGUST 2019 A RADIO WAS REPLACED, THE NEXT MOTH A COMPUTER MODULE WAS REPLACED, SUBSEQUENTLY SINCE OCTOBER 8 2019, THERE HAVE BEEN THREE BATTERIES INSTALLED. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUES TO LEAVE ME STRANDED . TODAY IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN AGAIN. I AM GOING TO BE STRANDED AND IN DANGER. I WAS IN VAN NUYS , CALIFORNIA IN DECEMBER WHEN THEY REPLACED A BATTERY, THEN FEBRUARY 7 , 2020 IT WAS IN MESA AZ WHEN IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN AGAIN. TODAY MARCH 11, 2020 IT WAS TOWED IN AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WILL DO THIS TIME SINCE 3 NEW BATTERIES HASN'T TAKEN CARE OF THE ISSUES. I AM PETRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I WENT THROUGH ARBITRATION ON FEBRUARY 17,2020WHICH WAS DENIED. I REALLY NEED SOME HELP TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES

I HAVE REPORTED MY ISSUES OF MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET WEATHER IT BE 25MPH OR ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT BY DEALERSHIPS AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. MY LAST INCIDENT LMAO THIS CAUSED ME TO FLIP MY CAN AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH. MY CAR TURNS OFF COMPLETELY, SO THEN I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK ONE I'M ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND RESTART. SOMETIMES THIS CAUSE ALL MY LIGHT TO FLICKER ON AND OFF. MY ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO VIBRATE OUT OF THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE I'VE BEEN REPORTING TO MY DEALER AND THE MECHANICS FOR ALMOST 2YRS NOW. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ( FIAT SERVICE ) TO GET HELP TO FIGURE THIS ISSUE OUT PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD I MAY HAVE TO BE IN A WRECK FOR ANYTHING TO BE DONE. REALLY, SAD A TECH WOULD SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT. MY FIRST TIME MY CAR STALLED I WAS AT A 4 WAY TURNING TO GO HOME. THIS HAPPENS LITERALLY EVERY MONTH. I HAVE CHILDREN I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND WITH MY CAR STALLING ON MY AND COMPLETELY LOOSING POWER TO EVERYTHING.

THIS VEHICLE HAS 3 RECALLS AND I DIDN'T SEE THEM ALL LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE. THE NEW RECALL I WILL ENCLOSE IN A DOCUMENT. THE FIRST RECALL WAS AN ISSUE WITH SHIFTING INTO ALL WHEEL DRIVE AND CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE COOLING AGENT FAN IS MALFUNCTIONING WHICH CAN OVERHEAT AND CAUSE RISK OF INJURY AND POSSIBLE FIRE IN ENGINE. I STARTED NOTICING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AFTER START UP EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T DUE FOR ONE. I CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS FINE. MY CAR STARTED JOLTING FORWARD AND BACKWARDS WHEN STARTED .IT WOULD JOLT BACKWARDS WHILE IN REVERSE. IT'S LOST POWER AFTER STARTING WHILE REVERSING IN MY GARGE. AT TIMES I WAS AFRAID IT WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING ON BACK ROADS AND WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR TURNS.ON HIGHWAY AND MAIN ROADS I STARTED SMELLING HEAT FROM FROM ENGINE AND COULD FEEL THE ENGINE STRUGGLING TO FUNCTION. IT'S AT DEALERSHIP NOW FOR RECALL. THANKS
