2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My BCM was shorted out from water damage from outside the car. The dealer says he can't repair it under warranty because Alfa Romeo will not authorize him to. I have to pay 1200 out of pocket for something that should be covered by warranty. The car will start, but the front headlights won't go out, the turn signals won't work, brake lights don't work right. Check engine light comes off and several functions are disabled. I'm not sure the backup camera, blindspot monitoring are working correctly.
The light flashes warning â ï¸â ï¸ the whole time while it's driving
The airbag light keeps flashing over and over like it was in an accident but the car is brand new
When driving on the I-10 the ATV light came on the christmas tree lights cycled and the car rapidly came to a stop and shut off.
Vehicle presenting significant life-threatening system-wide failures while driving. These catastrophic system failures result in the vehicle becoming immediately undrivable without warning placing passengers at significant risk, particularly when traveling at high speeds (e.g., interstates). The following summarizes system-wide failures in the 2018 Giulia and failed attempts to correct this defect by Alfa Romeo and dealer: •11/30/20: One (1) day of service after complete multi-system failure while driving locally. Returned same day by service department but failed to repair (see following service report). •11/30/20 – 12/4/20: Five (5) days of service. Vehicle presented to dealer service department immediately after pick-up from aforementioned service to correct 2nd systemic failure which subsequently occurred promptly after departing the dealership. Resulting system failure produced highly dangerous operating conditions in which vehicle became immediately and unexpectedly incapacitated while attempting to merge into interstate traffic at accelerating speed. •1/25/21 – 2/5/21: Twelve (12) days of service following 3rd system failure. As per dealer service reps, an Alfa Romeo service agent stated there was a defect in in the molds used for creating engine / engine blocks in the Giulia and the resulting defects can cause an oil leak while in operation which, based on its location, can result in entire operating system collapsing unexpectedly when said leak occurs. As documented in the service record, metal shavings were found in the oil and oil pump of vehicle and per the guidance of the Alfa Romeo service agent, dealer replaced the entire engine •12/10/21: On 12/10/21, the 4th catastrophic system failure occurred during interstate travel in the rain while attempting to accelerate and pass a slow moving vehicle. Vehicle became unexpectedly incapacitated causing seriously life-threatening conditions. Vehicle available for inspection currently.
Components that failed were both the rear brake warning sensor, rear brake rotors and on further inspection by Benson Alfa Romeo dealership, the front brake rotors had failed even though the front sensors triggered the visit to the dealer for routine service. The full failure of the rear brake rotors that is occurring (as I live in the mountains) would have been catastrophic. The dealership diagnosed the problem and replaced all four rotors, pads and sensors. The event was reported to Chrysler and filed as a warranty issue but ask that I pay as Chrysler declines to cover these items. The system alerted and I called the dealer Benson Alfa and took the first available appointment as it appeared as a routine warning, not a catastrophic failure. Even under full warranty for another two years, Chrysler declined to cover this event citing their worn part warranty provision of 12 months and 12,000 miles.
2018 giulia qv but it has been in the shop in pensacola for over 7 consecutive weeks and they still have not figured out what's wrong. Under acceleration and left hand turns the service electronic throttle lights up as well as various other lights. What's scary is the power steering temporarily stops, yanking the wheel hard right and I have to muscle it to keep it from running off the road. Nothing short or dangerous. I have had a case open with alfa cares and have tried to escalate with no result.
Service electronic throttle control and check engine warning lights came on. Car died in the middle of the road and took severally attempt to restart car.
The climate control system has malfunctioned since I purchased the vehicle. Hot air blows out the driver's side regularly, and alfa romeo, and the dealership I acquired it from, j star motors in anaheim, ca., don't appear interested in correcting the problem, even after four visits. The issues is more of a comfort one, than a safety issue, but all the same, a recall might be in order. My contact at af has stated that she has dealt with this issue a number of times.
