HELLO, I BELIEVE I NEED AN ATTORNEY AND LEGAL ADVICE. I HAVE A DEFECTIVE CAR THAT SHOWS ON THE FIAT DEALERSHIP WEBSITE AS A RECALL. THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF MY CAR HAS A RECALL (2/2013 RECALL N09 REPROGRAM POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) I HAVE HAVE BEEN REPORTED MY ISSUE TO FIAT DEALERSHIP FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AND WAS TOLD THAT BASED ON MY VIN NUMBER I DO NOT HAVE A RECALL. WHEN I SERVICE MY CAR AT DEALERSHIP THEY JUST TURN OFF MY ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PASS INSPECTION OF MY VEHICLE IN OVER TWO YEARS. MY MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO ME THAT I HAVE A RECALL AND HE CANNOT PASS INSPECTION. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, BUT CANNOT SELL IT OR TRADE IT IN DIE TO THE ENGINE LIGHT ERROR. I HAVE A RECORD OF ALL OF MY RECEIPTS. THIS STARTED IN JANUARY 2018. I BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD FILE CHARGES AGAINST FIAT AND WOULD NEED LEGAL ADVISE. THANK YOU.

I AM A REAL ESTATE AGENT. LAST YEAR 2019 I WENT TO AN OPEN HOUSE AND PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WHICH WAS ON AN INCLINE - WITH A PLATEAU FOR PARKING. I'VE BEEN DRIVING A STANDARD TRANSMISSION FOR 30 YEARS. WHEN I PARK I PLACE MY GEAR IN 1ST WITH THE PARKING BRAKE FULLY ENGAGED. I PARKED THE CAR, WENT INTO THE HOME TO VIEW THE HOME, AND WAS INSIDE 15 MINUTES. WHEN I WENT BACK TO MY CAR, IT WAS GONE. THE CAR HAD ROLLED BACKWARD DOWN THE HILL AND INTO A GUARDRAIL. THERE WERE NEIGHBORS ALL AROUND MY CAR, AND ONE MAN SAID, "IT MAKES NO SENSE IT THE PARKING BREAK IS ENGAGED." THE NEIGHBORS HAD VIDEO OF THE CRASH. THE CAR WAS PARKED APPROX 10 MINUTES BEFORE ROLLING DOWN THE HILL. MY CAR WAS DAMAGED BY THE GUARD RAIL, AND THANKFULLY NO HUMANS WERE HURT. HAD THE GUARDRAIL NOT BEEN THERE -- THE CAR WOULD HAVE GONE OVER A RAVINE AND INTO A HOME.

WE RECENTLY WENT IN FOR A RECALL TO THE SHIFT MECHANISM. UPON COMPLETION, THE DEALER FAILED TO SECURE THE GROUND WIRE BACK TO THE BATTERY. AFTER A FEW SHORT TRIPS, THE LOOSE CONNECTION CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR TO FAIL. THE DEALER WILL NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS AND WANTS $930 FOR THE REPAIR. CUSTOMER SERVICE BELIEVES THIS IS SIMPLY AN OLD CAR AND WILL NOT SUPPORT IT EITHER. ULTIMATELY THIS WILL CAUSE US TO THINK TWICE BEFORE ACTING ON THE NEXT RECALL NOTICE.

WE'VE REPLACED THE SHIFTER CABLE ON THE FIAT TWICE ON OUR OWN. RECENTLY, FIAT REPLACED IT UNDER RECALL NO. 19V817000. FIAT'S REPLACEMENT CABLE/BUSHING LASTED THREE SHIFTS. SHIFTED INTO DRIVE TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP. SHIFTED INTO PARK AT HOME. SHIFTED INTO DRIVE ON NEXT USE AND THE CABLE WAS DETACHED. FIAT'S SOLUTION IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT. COMPARING THE REPLACEMENT BUSHING WITH THE OLD BUSHING, THERE ISN'T ANY DIFFERENCE THAT WILL PREVENT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED WE WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET FROM REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPORT AND THE CABLE BUSHING FAILING WHEN WE WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. THE REPAID UNDER 19V817000 IS NOT A CORRECTIVE REPAIR.

ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2019 MY 2012 FIAT 500 BEGAN TO EMIT A STRONG ODOR. I THOUGHT THE CAR WOULD CATCH ON FIRE. THE CAR ALSO MADE A LOUD, SCREECHING AND GRINDING NOISE. WHEN I ARRIVED SAFELY TO MY DESTINATION, A FEW MINUTES AWAY, I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I HAD TO CANCEL A HAIR APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE DISTANCE IN THE VEHICLE. ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2019 I TOOK MY CAR INTO A FIAT CHRYSLER DODGE RAM JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND FREE BASIC INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ALSO HEARD THE NOISE COMING FROM THE CLUTCH AREA BUT NEEDED TO PERFORM AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSTIC. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY AT THE TIME SO I WAITED UNTIL JANUARY 2, 2020 TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER AND WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP I TOOK LYFT RIDESHARE FOR TRANSPORTATION AS I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. THE CAR STAYED IN THE SHOP OVER THE WEEKEND AND I WAS ABLE TO PICK IT UP ON MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2020. THE ISSUE WAS RELATED TO A RECALL FCA # S34, NHTSA# 16V-302 THAT HAPPENED A COUPLE YEARS BEFORE. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE RESOLVED FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT I WAS HAVING SIMILAR AND WORSE PROBLEMS, WHICH ARE DUE TO THE PREVIOUS FAULTY CAR PART. THE FIAT HAS ONLY $113K MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES PREVIOUSLY AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A HONDA CIVIC (GAINED OVER 200K MILES) AND A CHEVY AVEO AND NEITHER CAR HAD THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED HAD I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. THE CLUTCH COULD HAVE STOPPED ALL TOGETHER AND WE COULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED ON THE INTERSTATE OR STREET TRAFFIC. EVEN WITH THE REPAIRS I AM NO LONGER CONFIDENT IN THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. IT SHOULD BE DECLARED A LEMON.

LATE IN MARCH 2019 I WENT OUT TO MY CAR AT WORK TO DRIVE HOME (HOUR COMMUTE VIA MOSTLY HIGHWAY ROADS). WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE, THE STICK SHIFT DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE CAR IN 1ST GEAR IT WOULD NOT GO. AT THAT POINT I ONLY HAD 2ND AND 4TH GEAR AVAILABLE (3RD AND 5TH WOULD ALSO NOT WORK). I DROVE HOME AT LOWER SPEEDS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR. I IMMEDIATELY DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT A TIRES PLUS IN ATHENS, GA WHERE I LIVE. I THOUGHT MY CLUTCH HAD GONE OUT AS BY THE TIME I GOT THERE I COULD NO LONGER SHIFT GEARS AT ALL (STUCK IN 2ND). OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, TIRE PLUS TOLD ME THEY THOUGHT IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION AND THEY ADVISED ME TO LOOK INTO GETTING IT FIXED ELSEWHERE DUE TO THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THE WORK. ONE OF THE TECHS THERE DID MENTION THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT COULD BE THE SHIFTER CABLE AND THAT IT MIGHT BE WORTH IT TO TAKE IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO VERIFY. I THEN PICKED THE CAR UP AND DELICATELY DROVE IT TO ATHENS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP ON 4/1/19. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND DETERMINED SURE ENOUGH- IT WAS A BROKEN SHIFT CABLE (INVOICE ATTACHED SAYS THEY "REPLACED SHIFTER CABLES"). I RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF A RECALL (VIA MAIL?) ON FIATS IN THE AGE RANGE OF MY VEHICLE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID: 19V817000 AND CHRYSLER RECALL #VB4) AND UPON LOOKING INTO IT ON BOTH THE NHTSA AND FIAT SITES, FOR WHATEVER REASON MY CAR WASN'T UNDER THE RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AT 800-853-1403 AND THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE TO SAID SHE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY VIN # WASN'T ONE THAT WAS RECALLED BASED ON THE NATURE OF THE MALFUNCTION AND SUBSEQUENT REPAIR LAST APRIL. SHE SAID THAT PEOPLE CALL ALL THE TIME HAVING ALREADY HAD THE WORK COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE OFFICIAL RECALL SEEKING (AND RECEIVING) REIMBURSEMENT. SHE SUGGESTED GOING TO THIS SITE TO REQUEST THAT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE BE ADDED TO THE RECALL SO THAT I COULD BE REIMBURSED, AS WELL.
