This is a manufacturer issue not human error. Alfa Romeo needs to be held accountable.

My vehicle was subject to recall 93C for the fuel delivery module. Before the recall repair I had Auto Start/Stop Disabled, Service Electronic Throttle, Service Parking Brake, Check Engine Light, limp mode, and unexpected shutdowns. Bill Luke Tempe Alfa Romeo replaced the fuel pump on September 29, 2026, and the vehicle was ready September 30, 2026. The same warnings and shutdowns continued after the repair. On October 23, 2026, at approximately 93,400 miles, while driving to Walmart, I attempted a U-turn. The vehicle went into limp mode with the same warnings and completely shut down in the middle of the turn. I was able to restart it temporarily and move it to a Circle K parking lot, but when I tried to pull into a parking space it would not start. It was towed to my home in Tucson and has remained inoperable since. No crash, no injury, and no fire occurred. The loss of power while turning was a serious safety risk.

There is no fix for this. The fuel pump foe the Stelvio is recalled almost a year ago. The engine light comes on and the car is undriveable. I have paid for 2 new fuel pumps and control module (out of pocket) , and the check engine light will come back after a few weeks. The car is basically inoperable and bricked because of this, and Alfa has not resolved it. They should not be allowed to drag a recall out for years while owners suffer, and are in danger. Please hold Alfa Romeo accountable. It just happened again today (7/31/26) while my wife was on the highway. This is after paying thousands and thousands to resolve this whole Alfa Romeo doesn’t do anything to fix it. We are out of options.

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding serious engine issues I have experienced with my Alfa Romeo vehicle. The ongoing mechanical problems have created significant inconvenience, financial hardship, and concerns regarding the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Since owning the vehicle, I have experienced persistent engine-related problems including [loss of power/engine stalling/check engine light/oil consumption/rough idling/etc.]. Despite attempts to address the issue through repairs and maintenance, the problem continues to occur. These recurring issues have negatively impacted my ability to reliably use the vehicle for daily transportation. In addition, I am concerned that these issues may reflect a manufacturing defect or unresolved mechanical problem that has not been properly corrected. I have made efforts to have the vehicle inspected and repaired, yet the condition persists, resulting in continued frustration and unexpected expenses. I respectfully request the following: * reimbursement for repair costs related to the engine issue * Documentation regarding any recalls, technical service bulletins, or known engine defects associated with this model * Assistance in resolving this matter promptly and fairly I would appreciate a written response outlining the next steps to resolve this complaint. I hope to settle this issue professionally without needing to escalate the matter further through consumer protection agencies, warranty enforcement, or legal channels. Please contact me at your earliest convenience regarding this matter.

I took the vehicle to Auto Zone for a basic diagnostic and it came back that the fuel pump is failing and defective. I only recently purchased the vehicle and found that there’s a recall on it for this reason. The yellow check engine light came on and it stalled while driving home.

I experienced an unexpected Loss of Motive Power (LOMP) event. Late afternoon traffic was fast, estimate 75-80 MPH. I attempted to change lanes get to the righthand shoulder and was very nearly involved in a high-speed collision with a semi-petroleum tank truck. He applied his brakes to avoid hitting me and started to jackknife, but regained control and continued. The truck missed by inches. At this point I had NO remaining power and was essentially coasting until I managed to cross the remaining two lanes of traffic to the shoulder emergency lane. I reset the error codes and continued home with no further occurrences. The incident produced the following warning lamps: Electronic Throttle Control Failure, Start/Stop System Failure and Check Engine, then a few seconds later the Limp Mode/LOMP event. I carry an OBD Scanning Tool with me to be able to clear the error codes when I encounter them. They are typically a cascading event that can result in LOMP. I have experienced a total of 26 of these error lamp events since 4/19/22 which have resulted in 3 LOMP's. The remaining 23 events I was able to reset before the inevitable LOMP. This is the first LOMP that nearly caused a fatal accident, the remainder I was able to safely find a place to stop to perform the resets. There is an active Manufacturer Recall Number93C, the federal safety agency Recall Number25V-586 that may cover this issue. The Recall Status is "Incomplete, remedy not yet available." The Alfa Romeo dealership has noted the P0191-00 error and replaced the fuel pressure sensor on 2/23/23, but this did not solve the problem. Owner's forums, and now the Manufacturer/the federal safety agency recall have reported this as a known problem, so I have been clearing my own error codes in order to at least have a car to drive. In my mind, this nuisance has now become a potentially very dangerous condition.
