2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia: sudden loss of power

Filed Jul 2, 2026 · Fuel system · OH

Hot weather, longish drive, car lost power and started throwing codes. I have a code reader (because this has happened before) and the code reader blamed the problem on fuel delivery system. You issued a recall on this last year (25V‑586) but there is not yet a remedy from the company. This car, and many like it may be dangerous to drive and may strand drivers -- as it would have done to me in the past had I need had the code reader and the means to re-set the computer once ambient temperature were lower. You may want to issue a reminder to them that this needs fixing and ASAP. Thanks.

Vehicle completely lost power and quite running in the middle of the desert in Arizona. This relates to Saftey Recall 93c. I had to have the car towed and repaired in Scottsdale, AZ. I have been told that this repair (which was expensive) might not remedy the problem and it could reoccur. It's been over six months since the recall was issued and yet no remedy is available and I have not received reimbursement for the repairs I had to have done to get my vehicle running. I think six months is enough time given that I cannot trust the reliability of my vehicle due to this serious problem. When a vehicle just "turns off" in the middle of the freeway it poses a huge safety risk both to the occupants and to other drivers in the area. So my complaint is that it's taking far too long for Stellates to produce parts to remedy this problem.

While driving my Alfa Romeo, the vehicle experienced a significant malfunction involving the engine and power-train system. The vehicle will not accelerate properly and repeatedly goes into limp mode, resulting in a sudden and severe loss of power, especially while driving on the highway. The engine warning light is illuminated, and the vehicle hesitates, jerks, and fails to respond. This malfunction created a direct safety risk to me and other drivers on the road. The loss of acceleration occurred while traveling at highway speeds, making it difficult to merge, maintain traffic flow, or avoid surrounding vehicles. The problem has been reproduced multiple times, and the vehicle consistently enters limp mode when attempting to accelerate. The issue has been observed during normal driving conditions and does not appear to be a one-time event. The vehicle and its components are available for inspection by the manufacturer, dealer, insurance representative, or any required agency. At this time, the vehicle has not yet been formally inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance company, but I am prepared to provide access for evaluation. No warning lights and symptoms prior to the complete failure.

I am writing to formally report a concern regarding the handling of reimbursement under Safety Recall 93C (the federal safety agency 25V‑586) for my 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia. On March 11, 2025, several months before the recall was announced, I paid $3,995.59 out of pocket at Foreign Cars Italia Charlotte to repair severe driveability issues, including: Loss of engine power while driving “Electronic throttle control” and “check engine” warnings Difficulty accelerating, reduced fuel flow, and stalling risk These symptoms are directly consistent with the defect described in Safety Recall 93C, which involves the Fuel Delivery Module (FDM) and the risk of power loss due to heat-related fuel flow restriction. I recently received a recall notification letter for the 93C issued in September 2025, I contacted Alfa Romeo Customer Care and filed for reimbursement (Reference Number [XXX]). Despite providing full documentation — including the paid invoice and recall notice — my claim was denied. Their written response (attached) stated: “The vehicle is outside of its warranties… Parts and labor that were completed are not related to any recall including 93C.” This reasoning conflicts with the federal reimbursement provisions under 49 CFR §573.13, which require manufacturers to reimburse owners for pre-recall repairs that address the same defect, regardless of warranty status. My repair addressed the same malfunction now acknowledged as a safety defect, and I bore the full cost before the recall was publicly announced. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency review this matter and encourage Stellantis / FCA US LLC to re-evaluate my claim in accordance with recall reimbursement regulations. This situation raises both a consumer fairness issue and a safety concern, as the vehicle exhibited the same dangerous loss-of-power condition months before the manufacturer recognized it as a defect. Thank you for your time and assistance in reviewing this case. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U

My wife was driving the alfa on a tree lined winding country road when the car died without warning. The road has no hard shoulder so it was shuck on the road. My wife had to get out of the car and wave at to warn other traffic that the car was stuck on the road just around the bend. this went on for about an hour until the tow truck arrived, she was very stressed out as there was some close calls with traffic braking at the last second. The cause of the problem was the fuel pump failing, code P008. I am trying to source a replacement pump and during my research discovered this failure is common with 2017 and 2018 Alfa Giulia models. I am quite upset that they have not made this a recall, because the risk of being in an accident due to a car suddenly losing power is quite possible.
