This is safety issue. I called Alfa Romero they decline to help me out of good will because my car is 2018 . There are others same year, make and model on Alfa Romero Community website and Facebook Alfa Romeo all discussing oil pump issue and other engine light igniting and Codes PO6DD-OOl. The dealership wants me to pay 7000 dollars to replace oil pump but I can not afford I'm the household. 59 cases including myself reported to you all for oil system pressure.

2018 Stelvio Quad 7/2025 Taking off from a red light with multiple cars behind and beside me, my car lost power throwing multiple warning lights, swapped itself from "D" to "N" driving mode and had to be limped off the road and restarted. It would not swap modes from "N". Displayed "check engine light. Contacted my service manager, completed 10 restarts, issues cleared. Car would drive in all modes without issue. 2 weeks later having had no issues and assuming bad fuel, at the same light I was nearly rear ended because it did the same thing as before. There is a barrier to the left lane and I could not get my car out of the road. People were flying around, honking and yelling. After traffic cleared I was able to restart the vehicle. Called my service manager. 10 restarts cleared it and scheduled to bring it to Knoxville the next day. Obd reading indicated fuel starvation and delivery issues. The next day the dealership could not find an issue with the car. I took it home and drove it 2 more weeks without any issues until unfortunately, traveling about 70mph on the highway the lights came on again, same issue and lost power nearly causing an accident. Called the service manager. 10 restarts to clear it and drove it to the dealership about 100 miles away the next day using back roads to avoid the freeway. About 40 miles from the service center, it died while traveling about 30mph but thankfully, there were no other vehicles near me at that time and I was unfortunately prepared for the possibility. Once at the service center, it was determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced and I paid significant money to have this part ordered and installed. I was without my car for about a week however this dealership does provide a loaner. I had the car back since mid August without any further issue - until last week, on start giving me the same dash warning lights, unable to swap from "N" mode. Called the service center and the coil pack was replaced yesterday.

Description of the Problem: While operating the vehicle, multiple warning lights illuminated including the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) warning light, the check engine light, and other unknown warning indicators. In addition, several warning messages were displayed, including “Service Engine Soon” and other unknown messages. When this occurs, the vehicle begins to overheat, the auto start/stop function becomes disabled, and the vehicle loses power and will not accelerate as expected. Component or System Failed / Malfunctioned: The exact component is unknown at this time. The failure appears to be related to the engine, powertrain, or electronic control systems. The vehicle and components are available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: The vehicle’s failure to accelerate and overheating while in motion creates a serious safety hazard. This puts the driver and passengers at risk, especially if the loss of acceleration occurs in high-speed traffic, intersections, or on highways. Reproduction of the Problem: The issue has recurred multiple times. It has not yet been officially reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Inspections: At this time, the vehicle has not been formally inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Warning Lamps, Messages, and Symptoms Prior to Failure: The problem is preceded by the illumination of the ESC light, the check engine light, and other unknown warning lights. The messages “Service Engine Soon” and others appear immediately prior to or during the failure. These warnings occur before the loss of acceleration and overheating. Additional Notes: The failures are ongoing and have occurred more than once, raising concerns about reliability and safety.

Ground wire to starter had corroded and broke into. Wife tried to start the vehicle and saw smoke coming up out of the hood. This caused the main wiring harness to burn and wires to fall apart. The wires run from the front wheels up into the engine bay and throughout vehicle. The vehicle could have caught fire or could have possibly caused the brakes to fail while driving. I contacted Alfa Cares but they would not help cover cost (estimated approximately $9,000). This is not only a safety issue but a non maintenance for the customer issue. This isn’t a scheduled maintenance and is a product failure by the manufacturer. This issue should be a recall for both issues.This also caused all warning lights to come on the dash including steering, ABS, and about four other warning lights. Please consider this issue as a recall as Alfa doesn’t seem to care enough to take care of it and before someone gets hurt. The issue has been noted by an independent repair shop as well as an Alfa Romeo certified mechanic.

Body control module While driving in rain, received multiple incorrect messages on dash screen, horn began to beep. Unable to turn horn off until parking and disconnecting the negative battery cable. Had body control module replaced. Two weeks later, driving in rain: multiple warning lights appeared. Monitor said passenger and driver doors were open-they were not. Gas gauge became 'unavailable,' displaying only empty tank. Lights flickered on and off in cabin. Dealer said this was never a recall issue. Alfa says it was but the recall 'expired, so not eligible to fix' This is recall number U36. Obviously still a problem.

Hello, I bought an alfa romeo stelvio 2018 on december 31st 2018, pre-owned with 4800 miles. At 7900 miles the brakes warning came up, I took the car at the alfa romeo dealership. They replaced the rear brake pads and rotors, they also made me pay for it saying it wasn't under warranty, which I don't understand because alfa romeo warranty for the brakes service is up to 12,000 miles or 1 year ( the car now has 8100 miles). While at the dealership they also did earlier the 12 months service. After scanning the entire system I've been told that the car was in great shape. I picked up the car from the dealership, and I was driving back home, after driving about 60 miles, the entire electronic started to act really weird, I was getting countless warnings on the dashboard, the turn lights stopped working, all lights around the car started randomly flashing, the car stopped accelerating, AC system stopped working the windows got foggy I couldn't see anything, I was on the highway running 60/70 miles/hour, almost got into an accident while trying to pull the car over on the side of the road. This is a big safety/reliability concern of mine, the car totally stalled while running at 60/70 miles/hour on a highway, putting my safety/life at big risk. The car is currently back to the dealership. I'm seriously thinking to have the car replaced or reimbursed. Is there any kind of action I can take with alfa romeo USA to have the car replaced/reimbursed? Best regards,

I got my alfa romeo stelvio in november 2017 and less than a year, it got too many problems, some of which are serious n good help from dealers. Problems: 1.from months, I was getting all lights out indications where all lights work, when I put indicator on it gives annoying sound in car. (this happens while vehicle is in motion & stationary) 2.when it rains outside, water leakage in car near front side passenger legs ' (this happens while vehicle is in motion & stationary) 3.volume in car raises and hit max automatically. (this happens while vehicle is in motion) 4.if I turn off car and get down while I was on call, still media does not go off unless I manually disconnect my phone from car bluetooth. 5.parking break gets auto release when I press on accelerator. 6.one more huge stupid issue from alfa romeo. While I was driving, I got indicator saying engine on/off button not available and was honking by itself and that too when I was driving. When I pulled over from traffic & turn off vehicle then it goes into panic mode. This is so stupid n serious. (this happens while vehicle is in motion & stationary) important note: I understand most of the above stated issues were part of recalls (u34 & u36). Strange thing is when I checked with dealer & alfa romeo premium care, as per documentation the recall fixes were done on my car. Which means the recall fixes were not good enough to fix the issues, which caused for recall and as stated by the federal safety agency these issues will increase the risk of a crash. Such a disappointment with most rated motor trend of the year alfa romeo. Am just giving recent date when happened, but this is happening from long and not proper support from dealer to fix it. When last time it happened I went to dealer and left car with them. Visibilty wiper/other parts affected too.
