Both the drivers side and passenger side have to be hand pushed back up into their retreival mechanism after use, or they end up hanging down into the path of the closing doors. My car had less than 18,000 miles on it when i bought it, and it was already a problem. This is a known problem in the (2017 - 2020) fiat 124 spider world. Fiat should repair these free of charge. I have a 2006 toyota matrix that the seatbelts still work perfectly. It has 180,000 miles on it.

2012 FIAT 500
  • Date of Incident: Mar-14, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Mar-16, 2024
  • Failed components: POWER TRAIN

The clutch is out in the car. This may be caused by the clutch cover diaphragm spring and results in the inability to disengage the clutch, shift gears, and loss of mode of power. Leaving the passengers in a situation that can cause wreck without warning. My clutch went without any warning. I would like to be able to have my car fixed since this is a issue that many other cars made the same year make and model as mine are have been recalled for this very issue i'm having. My car is very unsafe and without warning the clutch became none responsive and has been that way ever sense. I dont have the means to repair this and since you are taking responsiblty for this issue on other cars my car is having the same issue but not on the recall alrhough it should be on the recall as it is very very dangerous.

2014 FIAT 500L

  • Failed components: POWER TRAIN

My car is experiencing the same issue as a previous recall t19. Does not go when foot is pressed completely on gas. Will start & only go 25mph & sound like it is stuck & will not shift. Then randomly will jerk & accelerate. Tool to local mechanic oct 2023. Went for oil change, just befor appointment started running weird and check engine light had came on,asked him to check it out. Local mechanic said reader said knock sensor. Paid for part,and went for pick up. Check engine light was off, ran good for about 5 mins on way home had to turn around. Took it back now local mechanic says theres mice damage to wiring harness. Estimated 3,000-5,000 total. After already paying 800 for knock sensor and oil change. Told to try & see if insurance will cover rodent damages. Insurance has towed car to fiat dealership, now being told there is zero mice damage to my wiring harness. Replaced knock sensor now for a second time, still not the fix. Was told the issue is unrelated to the mice & has to do with my pcm. Repair cost is more than my car is even worth at this point. Sounds just like past pcm recall issue. Mine was apparently fixed 03/23/17. Is there a way there could be another recall? I have under 70,000 miles & do not understand how this has happened.

2016 FIAT 500X
  • Date of Incident: Dec-22, 2023
  • Date complaint filed: Feb-13, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE

The car had a ntsb recall on the engine. The engine needed to be replaced. After having the engine replaced i was told to pick up the vehicle which shook profusely and then had a check engine light come on only minutes from driving away from the dealership. I turn around and returned the vehicle immediately to have it remedy the situation. It took over a month and the second time i was told to pick up the car, the same thing happened again only minutes from leaving the dealership, except this time the engine started to stutter like it was going to stall. After another month of them attempting to remedy, which is now the 3rd time they told me to pick up the vehicle which was in 22nd december 2023, the engine stalled only 100 yards of driving away from the dealership in fast 2-lane traffic. The progressive deterioration of the new replaced engine after the required recall was and is clearly a danger not only to myself and my family but also to other drivers. They are now saying which is 13 of february 2024 over a month of them trying to fix it, that the car is ready to be picked up. I do not believe this vehicle is safe to be on the road. I am concerned for myself and other drivers safety if i attempt to drive this vehicle. I have been told it has been tested but they said that the other 3 times i have picked up the vehicle. There is no way to ensure or guarantee this vehicle will not stall again in dangerous traffic. I have a video of the incident with the foreman mechanic trying to start the vehicle.
