FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I received Safety Recall 25V-586 regarding the fuel pump defect on my 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The notice states that the vehicle can lose drive power without warning, which could lead to a crash. However, the letter also says that the remedy for this condition is not currently available. I am extremely concerned for my safety because I rely on this vehicle for daily driving, and I do not feel it is safe to operate a car that could suddenly lose power at any time. The manufacturer has acknowledged the risk, but no repair or interim solution has been provided. I have also noticed occasional hesitation and reduced power while driving, which makes me worry that the issue may already be occurring. I am requesting that NHTSA review this issue and require Alfa Romeo to provide an immediate remedy, loaner vehicle, or buyback for affected owners until the fix becomes available. This situation places drivers and passengers at serious risk.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
A corroded faulty ground strap under the car, which is connected to the transmission caused the engine wiring harness to overload a smaller ground wire in the wheel well, then continued to melt other sections of the main engine wiring harness when trying to start the car. This is only a $200 part, but caused $6k+ of damages calling for a labor intensive job of replacing the entire engine wiring harness. The manufacturer does not provide any information on this to the owner as a maintenance issue or something to keep an eye on to prevent this issue. It's obviously a defect.

The engine cooling hose is failing and may be made of similar materials under the same recall as the Stelvio Qudrofiligo NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 18V635000. Mine has a leak which can cause a loss of coolant and cause a crash. The engine cooling hose may have inadequate webbing material allowing a coolant leak.

Driving on the highway at 60mph, my sunroof exploded very unexpectedly and very loudly. It shattered along the front and sides but not anywhere at the center. Sunroof was closed and had only been used 1 time in the month I had the vehicle. Nothing hit me as no vehicles were anywhere near. The dealership managment is saying it had to be caused externally yet their own technicians said it was defective.
