Legal Compliance & Safety Hazard Remedy - VIN: [XXX] Alfa Romeo's response frames towing as a "warranty coverage" issue. This is factually incorrect and legally irrelevant. This is not a warranty claim; this is a federally mandated the federal safety agency safety campaign involving a severe vehicle fire and engine stalling hazard. Under federal law (49 U.S.C. § 30120), manufacturers are legally required to provide a remedy for safety recalls that is reasonably accessible to the consumer, free of charge. Alfa Remeo has failed to provide that access: Complete Infrastructure Failure in [XXX]: My nearest in-state authorized dealer, Dennis Dillon Fiat in [XXX], has formally refused to perform this safety recall because they do not have an Alfa-certified technician on staff. Extreme Geographical Hardship: Because Alfa Romeo's only in-state service center lacks the technical capability to fulfill your safety mandate, the nearest operational dealership is now roughly 9.5 hours away. Severe Safety Liability: Alfa Romeo is demanding that I personally operate or coordinate the transport of a vehicle with an active, un-remedied fuel system fire/stalling hazard across nearly 10 hours of public highway. Doing so places severe liability on me and a catastrophic safety risk on the public—a risk caused entirely by a manufacturing defect and your broken dealer network. Because Stellantis cannot provide a qualified technician within a reasonable or safe distance from ZIP code [XXX], they are failing to provide a functionally accessible recall remedy. I am requesting that Alfa Romeo authorize one of the following logistical accommodations: Option A: Stellantis covers the full cost of a commercial auto-carrier to transport the vehicle from [XXX] to your closest functional facility and return it upon completion. Option B: Stellantis issues a formal franchise waiver to allow my local local Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram (CDJR) in [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, 11737275 AS THE VEHICLE HAS NOW DEGRADED TO PERSISTENT ACTIVE STALLING. This is a follow-up to my previous complaint 11737275 as the vehicle has now degraded to persistent active stalling. The failed component is the fuel pump assembly under active safety recall the federal safety agency 25V586 (Mopar 93C), and the un-remedied vehicle is completely available for physical inspection upon request. Safety is severely compromised as the vehicle experiences extreme drops in RPM, engine choking, and sudden stalling immediately after fueling because the failing, recalled pump cannot maintain proper pressure to compensate for standard EVAP canister vapor purging cycles. This dangerous driveability defect has been formally brought to Criswell Alfa Romeo, where service staff confirmed the failures but stated they cannot perform the remedy because the redesigned factory replacement component is currently unavailable. While the vehicle remains open for full review by any designated authority, it has not yet undergone formal inspection by the manufacturer, local law enforcement, or insurance investigators. The symptoms first manifested in 2021 immediately before the safety recall campaign became public knowledge, and the vehicle has suffered from these chronic, hazardous failures ever since. The manufacturer's technical summary states that 2017–2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio vehicles may experience a loss of motive power due to a heat-susceptible fuel delivery module (FDM) losing flow rate, which FCA US will remedy by conducting a voluntary safety recall to replace the FDM with a newly updated Pump Electronic Module (PEM). My vehicle is a 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio TI.

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.
