This vehicle has 3 recalls and I didn't see them all listed on your website. The new recall I will enclose in a document. The first recall was an issue with shifting into all wheel drive and connected to the electrical system. The cooling agent fan is malfunctioning which can overheat and cause risk of injury and possible fire in engine. I started noticing my check engine light would go on after start up even though I wasn't due for one. I checked oil and it was fine. My car started jolting forward and backwards when started .it would jolt backwards while in reverse. It's lost power after starting while reversing in my garge. At times I was afraid it would stall while driving on back roads and while slowing down for turns.on highway and main roads I started smelling heat from from engine and could feel the engine struggling to function. It's at dealership now for recall. Thanks

My car has gone to the dealer repeatedly for the following issues: bad struts, loose engine mounts, overheating (broken fan), "drive mode not available", radio not working, and now messages saying lights are out when they are not (code says "pending code") this car drives terrible and is unsafe and unreliable- it spends more time at the dealer than in my driveway - it has 40k miles and is still under warranty

My 2016 fiat 500x started overheating with approximately 32,900 miles on it. I had the fan assembly and 50 amp fuse replaced. It is starting to make the same noise I had noticed weeks before it overheated again.

While the car was in motion on the highway, the A/C abruptly stopped working and the vehicle immediately overheated. The fan assembly had faulted, the issue was corrected in october 2017 after the vehicle was held for 30 days because the part was unavailable. The new issue came up on start up, the A/C was not cooling and the check engine light came on, I dropped off the vehicle at the dealer and was told that it is a sensor in the right rear view miirror that is causing the A/C malfunction, they initially thought it was the fan assembly that had faulted again. The part is not available for (3) weeks. They said it was a nationwide shortage on the part (again). My question is should this be cause for concern? Why would there be a nationwide shortage on a single part? And is this connected in anyway to the fan assembly failure. I love my fiat, but I dont need the issues, this vehicle is barely (2) years old.

Engine is very shaky when stalled at stop lights, etc. Service light recently came on and car was taken to the dealership for evaluation as it is still under warranty. The cooling fan needs to be replaced but is on a national backorder with no eta. Car can no longer be driven in traffic as it quickly overheats.
