What owners say
Car will randomly turn itself off while driving. This has happened 3 times (I currently have just over 70k miles on the car). There are also electrical issues (seizure warning should come with this car- the touch screen radio will turn itself off and on continuously while driving). As with most other complaints, my drivers side door handle came off as well.
Like everyone else on here my car has multiple issues. Car shifts hard from first to second gear. Fuel car propulsion seems off, drivers side door handle broke, day time running lights don't work, touch screen on display quit working, car doesn't alert me of low oil level, it has shut off but I'm pretty sure it's a safety feature when your oil is to low so you dont blow your car up, car uses waaayyy to much oil, gas mileage isn't that great, brakes were replaced ever since a lot of times my car will screech when I go to apply the brakes, oh and battery is bad literally just replaced it had corrosion and acid leaking out. I really wanted to love this car but it's been kind of a disappointment. I am the second owner, I bought it in 2018 with about 45k miles and it just hit 100k a car four years old should not have this many problems it's really unacceptable. Its just my every day driver I maintenance it regularly and the miles are mostly highway miles. All of this just within 2 years and 50k miles pretty unbelievable. I am taking it to a fiat dealership this week to see if they can fix some of these issues
I own a 2016 fiat 500x, unsure of the model because I was told I was purchasing a trekking but paperwork states lounge 2. The VIN number has brought up the different two models depending on what VIN search you use. One issue with the vehicle, are the exterior lights. At the current time, it has a blinker, rear taillight and a brake light out. And when one light goes out, usually 2-3 other lights follow. This will be the 3rd time it's going in for repairs for that electrical issue. It is also consuming too much oil. Yesterday after I finally got it started, several lights appeared on the dashboard, park brake failure light, transmission malfunction indicator light and the ESC light. When I put it in drive mode, a light warning me the drive mode was unavailable. The vehicle idles rough. Once I stopped at a stop sign and the vehicle jumped into neutral. The backup camera has stayed on before while driving down the road. Also 2 door handles have had to be replaced and the drivers side knob that has already been replaced once, seems to be sticking like the one before it that completely broke off.
The vehicle driver's door handle breaks easily. I went to open the door while it was parked.
