Alfa Romeo Giulia fuel pump problems

Filed Oct 5, 2026 · Electrical · WA

On September 23, 2026, I took my vehicle to RON TONKIN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (ALFA ROMEO) for an official manufacturer recall 93C service regarding the fuel pump. Immediately upon receiving the vehicle back from the dealership after the recall procedure, two major electrical failures occurred: 1. Complete failure of all exterior turn signals (blinkers do not respond at all). 2. Complete blackout of the central infotainment / dash display screen. Before this recall service, both systems were fully functional with zero issues. Turn signals are a mandatory, critical road safety component. Operating a vehicle without functional turn signals poses an extreme safety hazard to myself, passengers, and other drivers on the road, rendering the vehicle unroadworthy. The dealership disconnected the 12V battery and accessed body wiring modules during the recall service, which triggered a CAN-Bus network crash, Body Control Module (BCM) lockup, or corrupted Proxi Alignment. Despite this occurring immediately following their service, the dealership refuses to take responsibility or rectify the defect at no charge. I am filing this report because a safety recall service executed by an authorized dealer directly created a severe safety defect (non-functional turn signals) that prevents the safe and legal operation of the vehicle.

Vehicle: 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia, VIN [XXX] Recall: the federal safety agency 25V‑586 (FCA/Stellantis Recall 93C): Fuel Delivery Module / fuel pump I received FCA's safety recall notice for recall 93C. It states the fuel pump can fail and cause a loss of drive power, which can cause a crash without warning. The notice tells me to schedule the free repair with an authorized Alfa Romeo dealer, but the remedy is not available to me in practice. I contacted every authorized dealer in my area, all 1.5 to 2+ hours from my home: •Livermore Alfa Romeo, Livermore, CA: 21 customers ahead of me, no date given. •Alfa Romeo of San Jose, San Jose, CA: 12 customers ahead, about a 4-month wait. •Alfa Romeo of Marin, San Rafael, CA: no parts available. I contacted Alfa Romeo Premium Care (case number [XXX]), and they referred me back to the dealers. FCA has offered no interim fix, no loaner or rental, and no firm repair date. I have to keep driving a vehicle with an acknowledged loss-of-power defect for up to 4 months. I am asking the federal safety agency to review whether FCA is supplying enough remedy parts and dealer capacity for recall 25V‑586, and whether owners facing long delays should be given alternate transportation.

1. The fuel delivery/fuel pressure system is malfunctioning. The vehicle has experienced fuel-pressure related diagnostic trouble codes, loss of power, stalling, and limp mode. The fuel pressure sensor was replaced, but the same diagnostic codes and symptoms continued. The symptoms are consistent with the fuel delivery module/fuel pump defect described in the federal safety agency recall 25V586. The vehicle and affected components are available for inspection upon request. 2. The vehicle repeatedly enters limp mode and has experienced loss of power, stalling, and severe shifting problems, especially with low fuel. I have had to drive 20–30 miles on the freeway while unable to accelerate or shift normally, nearly causing multiple accidents around traffic and semi-trucks. I regularly transport my family and children, greatly increasing the safety risk from an unexpected loss of power or stalling. 3. No. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. However, the vehicle has experienced repeated loss of power, stalling, limp mode, and shifting problems, along with the same two fuel-pressure related diagnostic trouble codes. The fuel pressure sensor was replaced, but the codes and symptoms remained. 4. No. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or an insurance representative. 5. Yes. The check-engine light appeared with codes P018D and P018B. The vehicle subsequently experienced limp mode, loss of power, stalling, and severe shifting issues, especially with low fuel. Replacing the fuel pressure sensor did not resolve the codes or symptoms.

My fuel pump started to fail. I am open to having it inspected, the problem is I already replaced it myself because I wasn’t aware of the fuel pump recall for the 2017-2019 models. I know my vehicle is a 2020 but it was manufactured in 2019. It happened twice, I was driving on the highway when my car suddenly lost power. I couldn’t accelerate and I had to merge through multiple lanes to try and pull over safely. I took it to the Alfa Romeo dealership and they were the ones to tell me my fuel pump was failing. No warning lamps, or messages, just suddenly losing power while driving. They appeared sometime last year and I was fortunate enough to repair it.

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.

The vehicle is subject to Alfa Romeo Safety Recall 93C (the federal safety agency Campaign 25V586) for a defective Fuel Delivery Module. The safety defect is an active, un-remedied hazard. The vehicle is currently located at [Name of Alfa Romeo Dealership] for an official diagnosis and is available for inspection. The vehicle has an active safety recall for sudden, catastrophic engine stalling at highway speeds due to fuel pump warping. Because the manufacturer has not provided a remedy or a safe alternative transport, I am forced to choose between driving a vehicle with an acknowledged highway-stalling hazard or being completely deprived of my transportation. The vehicle cannot be safely operated in commerce until Recall 93C is performed. The vehicle is currently undergoing inspection by the manufacturer's authorized technicians at the Alfa Romeo dealership. It has also been reviewed administratively through a claim with the National Center for Dispute Settlement (NCDS), which was denied based on mileage despite the active federal safety recall. The vehicle displayed an "Excessive Oil" warning and experienced heavy smoking from the engine bay beginning around June 25, 2026. While the vehicle has also been undergoing cooling system repairs, the presence of these severe engine warnings and thermal symptoms creates an immediate escalation of risk when combined with the active 93C fuel pump recall.

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.

Vehicle is affected by FCA recall 93C / the federal safety agency recall 25V‑586 for Fuel Delivery Module / fuel pump failure that can cause fuel starvation and unexpected loss of motive power. the federal safety agency recall lookup shows the recall is incomplete and the remedy is not yet available. The vehicle is already symptomatic. It has active DTC P008A / low-pressure fuel system pressure too low, check engine light, and Start/Stop unavailable. It also has drivability symptoms: inconsistent acceleration, hesitation/poor response, and sometimes failing to restart after stopping in traffic, such as at traffic lights. This creates a risk of the vehicle being disabled in traffic or losing motive power without adequate warning. The dealer stated final recall parts are not available. Dealer offered only a no-charge interim fuel pump control module replacement, but quoted approximately $1,117 to replace the low-pressure fuel pump assembly / Fuel Delivery Module and O-ring. FCA/dealer has not provided written authorization for no-charge interim FDM replacement, has not guaranteed reimbursement if the owner pays now, has not provided alternate transportation, and has not provided a written safety determination that the vehicle is safe to operate while symptomatic. This issue appears long-known. FCA issued a P008A low-pressure fuel system service bulletin in 2018, the federal safety agency opened investigation PE24003 in January 2024, and recall 25V‑586 was not filed until September 2025. Despite that history, a symptomatic vehicle remains without an available final remedy.
