The contact owns a 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the engine seized without warning. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that coolant had entered the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was related to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 18V635000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
While driving on a highway around 3 am in dark environment, going at 63mph, the vehicle completely shut off in less than 1 second with no warning at all. Brakes failed, steering failed, engine shut off, all gauges including speedometer and tachometer stopped functioning, all electrical related functions failed, headlight and taillight shut off, unable to turn on hazard light. Right after the complete failure, I tried to restart the vehicle on the highway while still in motion but the vehicle was completely unresponsive. The vehicle is barely steerable with the steering assist fail and had to switch from the left lane to the right lane with no turn signals on, and had to coast to a highway exit because of the brakes and engine failure. After stopping at the exit, I was unable to turn on the hazards light and all doors are locked except the driver side door, then I called roadside assist for help, the vehicle was then towed away.
