Vehicle is unable to fully charge. It stops without notice and has left us stranded. The car has been at the dealership for seven months. The dealership duplicated the problem, but has been unable to repair it. There are now six (6) other 2024 500e’s at Larry H Miller Fiat in Aurora Colorado with the same problem.
I am filing this complaint because my Fiat 500e has an active safety recall, but I have been unable to obtain a safe, reasonable, or competent recall repair. There is no qualified Fiat service center within a practical distance of my home in Toledo, Ohio. The nearest authorized location, Yark Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, previously mishandled basic warranty EV service and routed my car to unqualified staff, which raises serious concerns about their ability to perform a safety recall correctly. I contacted another recommended Fiat service center (Suburban Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Ann Arbor) and…
The vehicle has stalled twice while driving on a fully charged battery. I was using the 1-pedal driving mode (“Range” mode) during both events. When the stall happened, the system applied the brakes and the steering wheel locked, and I was unable to steer. I was able to restart the car after a few seconds each time. The first stall occurred in town at about 35 mph on a busy road. The second occurred at 70 mph on the freeway shortly after leaving Rairdon’s Fiat in Kirkland, WA, where I had been told the car was repaired. Both events created a serious safety risk, especially the freeway stall…
The contact leased a 2024 Fiat 500E. The contact stated that the windows failed to roll down and the brakes made an abnormal sound while the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle required the Push to Start button to be pressed three times to start the vehicle. The contact stated that the A/C and heating system were inoperable, and the infotainment system screen occasionally turned black. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer did not provide the diagnostic information and informed the…
The rear-view camera on my Fiat 500e frequently freezes while I am backing up. This happens at least 3 times per week. The camera image appears normal at first, but then freezes on a still frame while the car is in reverse. This creates a major safety hazard because the display shows a clear path even when something may be behind the vehicle. I have nearly backed into objects because the frozen image does not reflect real-time surroundings. This issue appears to be recurring and not related to weather or driving conditions. Power cycling the car usually clears it temporarily, but the problem…
