2016 Fiat 500X

MY CAR HAS GONE TO THE DEALER REPEATEDLY FOR THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: BAD STRUTS, LOOSE ENGINE MOUNTS, OVERHEATING (BROKEN FAN), "DRIVE MODE NOT AVAILABLE", RADIO NOT WORKING, AND NOW MESSAGES SAYING LIGHTS ARE OUT WHEN THEY ARE NOT (CODE SAYS "PENDING CODE") THIS CAR DRIVES TERRIBLE AND IS UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE- IT SPENDS MORE TIME AT THE DEALER THAN IN MY DRIVEWAY - IT HAS 40K MILES AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY

I BOUGHT THIS CAR SECOND HAND. 33200 MILES STILL ON THE WARRANTY. AFTER FEW MONTHS, 650 MILES OF USAGE, A WARNING LIGHT FOR FOR THE ENGINE AND "DRIVING MODE UNAVAILABLE" STARTED POPPING UP, SO THIS A PLATE LIGHT WARNING POP UP AS WELL. BROUGHT TO FIAT, THEY SAID IT WAS THE THERMOSTAT WHICH IT WAS THEN CHANGED AND SUPPOSEDLY WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. GOT THE CAR BACK. AFTER FEW DAYS AND 125 MILES MORE AGAIN THE "DRIVE MODE UNAVAILABLE" WARNING POP UP... THEN THE FOUR WHEAL DRIVE UNAVAILABLE POP UP..THERE WAS ALSO A WHEAL WARNING POPPING UP. THEN OUT OF A SUDDEN, ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO START. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND TURN BACK ON. ONCE I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK, ALL KINDS OF WARNING SIGNS CAME UP. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WARNING KEPT ON. SO DID THE "DRIVE MODE UNAVAILABLE". BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO FIAT RIGHT AWAY. THEY SAID THE BATTERY WAS NOT TIED CORRECTLY. WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT DID HAPPEN AND WHY THEY DID NOT SEE THAT THE FIRST TIME THEY LOOK AT THE CAR. GOING TO PICK UP THE CAR TOMORROW AND HOPE WILL NOT GOING TO HAVE TO REPORT FURTHER ISSUES.

VEHICLE FOG LIGHTS HAVE AN ISSUE WHERE ONE LIGHT GETS TOO MUCH VOLTAGE, CAUSING IT TO BURN OUT THE BULB AND THE HOLDING UNIT. SOMETIMES THE BULBS WILL RANDOMLY SWITCH (FOR EXAMPLE ONE DAY THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL BE OUT, THEN THE NEXT DAY THE PASSENGER SIDE). I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET REPAIRED: THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE BULB AND THE HOLDING UNIT AND ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER. I THEN TOOK IT BACK, THE MECHANIC CHECKED MY ALTERNATOR WHICH WAS FINE AND PUTTING OUT CORRECT AC AND DC VOLTAGE. HE TOLD ME HE CALLED FIAT AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE BUT DON'T KNOW WHY. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON BACK ROADS (SO GOING UNDER AND UP TO 45MPH) THE VERY FIRST TIME THE LIGHT WENT OUT. AFTER THE FIRST TIME, I WOULD TURN THE CAR ON AND IT WOULD BE OUT, OTHER DAYS IT WOULD BE ON AND WOULDN'T GO OUT AT ALL, OR IT WOULD GO OUT LATER WHEN I WAS DRIVING. THERE WAS REALLY NO CONSISTENCY TO THE ISSUE.
