CRITICAL FINANCIAL NON-COMPLIANCE REPORT regarding the federal safety agency Campaign 25V586 / Alfa Romeo Recall 93C. On July 16, 2026, my vehicle suffered a catastrophic loss of motive power and stalled on the highway due to the exact fuel pump module defect described in Campaign 25V586 (Bristow's Auto Repair Invoice #33733 confirmed code P008A and low fuel pressure at 349mBar). Because the vehicle was entirely inoperable, I paid $2,207.27 out of pocket for an emergency repair. Alfa Romeo Customer Care has twice formally refused in writing to process my pre-recall reimbursement claim, explicitly stating they will not pay until a factory remedy is commercially available. This is a direct violation of the mandatory claim-processing guidelines under federal regulation 49 CFR § 573.13. Manufacturer is unlawfully withholding federally mandated consumer reimbursement.

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
My vehicle is affected by Recall 93C / (the federal safety agency 25V‑586 )for a fuel pump defect that can cause the engine to stall while driving. This safety issue has already occurred — my vehicle stalled while in motion, creating a dangerous situation. The car is currently unsafe to drive. Description of the Incident: I scheduled a recall appointment with the Englewood Cliffs Alfa Romeo dealer after reporting that the car had stalled. When I arrived, the dealer attempted to charge me a $450 diagnostic fee even though the visit was specifically for a federally regulated safety recall. I declined the fee and left because I did not feel comfortable being charged for recall‑related inspection. Manufacturer Response: I contacted Stellantis Customer Care. They stated that they “have no control over how the dealer operates” and that they would require diagnostic documentation from the dealer before providing rental assistance. This means I would still be required to pay the diagnostic fee, even though the issue is recall‑related. Reason for Filing: The dealer’s refusal to perform recall‑related inspection without charging a diagnostic fee prevents me from addressing a known safety defect. The manufacturer’s position leaves me unable to obtain recall service unless I pay out of pocket. I am concerned that this creates a barrier for consumers attempting to address a serious safety recall. Requested Action: I am requesting the federal safety agency’s review of this dealer’s handling of Recall 93C and Stellantis’ response requiring paid diagnostics before providing recall support. I would like the federal safety agency to ensure that consumers can obtain recall inspections and remedies without being charged diagnostic fees.
I was driving on the highway and my car starts sputtering, I figured I pull over and turn my car off and on. My car seemed fine and I continued to drive home from work. As soon as I got off the highway my car completely shut off mid ride, stalls out and my steering wheel locked up. I was able to get my car turned back on and get back home. Filled with anxiety at least. Luckily I have a code reader in my car as soon as I pulled into my driveway and the codes showing where P008A which is directly related to a fuel pump/ fuel delivery issue. This happened on February 28th. I have been scared to drive the car since

My 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia, VIN [XXX] , is currently disabled and inoperable at the authorized dealer, Alfa Romeo Fiat of Daytona (Service Advisor: Kevin Chapman). The vehicle is subject to the active and known Safety Recall 93C (Low-Pressure Fuel Pump). My vehicle is experiencing a total loss of motive power and engine stall, which is the exact safety hazard described in the recall. Furthermore, the initial failure of the low-pressure fuel system appears to have caused secondary consequential damage to the expensive High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP), and the vehicle is also exhibiting a severe and recurring electrical defect (new battery dying, random dash warnings/brake lights flashing). The manufacturer, FCA/Stellantis (Customer Care Case #XXX...), and the dealer are engaging in a runaround to deny basic safety recall provisions: 1. Refusal to Cover Consequential Damage: FCA Customer Care stated that if the issue is 'not the 93C recall then it will all be customer pay,' which conflicts with the federal safety agency guidelines requiring the manufacturer to remedy the primary defect and all damage proximately caused by it. 2. Refusal to Provide Loaner/Rental Car: FCA stated the loaner is up to the dealer, and the dealer stated it is up to the diagnostic. This runaround has created an unreasonable delay in the repair of a federally mandated safety recall, leaving the owner without transportation for a disabled, unsafe vehicle. I am requesting the federal safety agency intervention to compel FCA/Stellantis to: a) Authorize a complimentary rental car/loaner until the vehicle is fully repaired. b) Provide a formal commitment that all damage proven to be a direct, proximate consequence of the 93C fuel pump failure will be covered at no cost.

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
Car stall after driving a long drive specifically when it’s hot weather . Multiple occasions for the past 5 years Will never run again for about 10-15 minutes. When it come back on with a check engine. Code reads low fuel pressure.
Fuel pump and module failed and car stalled while on highway almost causing an accident.
Multiple times the check engine light will come on while driving. It shuts engine down at any speed. This usually happens during warm up phase of vehicle. You have to pull over and cycle power off and on multiple times before it starts and runs again. It has stalled in intersections causing traffic delays. Once it starts and codes clear it typically runs fine for long periods. Symptom codes include throttle system failure, fuel pump low pressure, miss fire, bcm communication error. Cycling off and on clears codes and car operates normally until next cold start. Symptoms seem to worsen when driving in n or a mode. Symptoms seem to worsen when remote starting vehicle.

Fuel pump fails when hot outside or prolonged use. Has happened multiple times a week. Was driving, get a low pressure fuel code, and then engine sputters and stalls. Dealership said its a known issues and are trying to charge me $2500 to have the fuel pump, fuel control module, and software reprogrammed for the new design that doesnt fail with heat. This is a known issues and I had to pull over with no power, almost got hit by another car. This is dangerous and should be a recall!
