1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The low-pressure fuel pump (fuel delivery module) appears to be failing, consistent with Recall 25V-586 / Alfa Romeo Campaign 93C. This causes fuel starvation and loss of motive power. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle has experienced loss of motive power (LOMP) while driving. At times it jerks or hesitates when accelerating from a stop, and while climbing a hill it suddenly lost power, displayed a Service Electronic Throttle warning, and went into limp mode. This created a risk of being unable to accelerate safely in traffic, increasing the chance of being rear-ended or unable to merge. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. I described the symptoms to Alfa Romeo Service dept, and they told me it is related to the recall and that other customers have reported the same symptoms and warning lights. However, they advised that there is currently no remedy available, and I must wait for the fix before scheduling an appointment. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet. Alfa Romeo advised that no remedy is available at this time, so the vehicle has not been formally inspected by the dealer or manufacturer. Advised not to drive long distances until fix determined. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. Check Engine Light and Service Electronic Throttle came on as car lost power and entered limp mode with code P0299. Alfa Romeo Service Dept tech said these warnings match the recall. Rep said this shows how loss of motive power from fuel starvation manifests electronically & ECU interprets fuel starvation as underboost, which then triggers limp mode.

With temperatures around 90 degrees and engine is up to temperature the engine just stopped in the middle of the road blocking traffic This also happened 2 additional times and wouldn’t start for about 45 minutes. Recently paid $2,000 to replace the fuel pump and controller at a dealership. They told me there was no recall Had to wait 4 weeks for parts and didn’t know if they fixed the problem as there have not been any 90 degree days since the repair was done

2018 Stelvio Quad 7/2025 Taking off from a red light with multiple cars behind and beside me, my car lost power throwing multiple warning lights, swapped itself from "D" to "N" driving mode and had to be limped off the road and restarted. It would not swap modes from "N". Displayed "check engine light. Contacted my service manager, completed 10 restarts, issues cleared. Car would drive in all modes without issue. 2 weeks later having had no issues and assuming bad fuel, at the same light I was nearly rear ended because it did the same thing as before. There is a barrier to the left lane and I could not get my car out of the road. People were flying around, honking and yelling. After traffic cleared I was able to restart the vehicle. Called my service manager. 10 restarts cleared it and scheduled to bring it to Knoxville the next day. Obd reading indicated fuel starvation and delivery issues. The next day the dealership could not find an issue with the car. I took it home and drove it 2 more weeks without any issues until unfortunately, traveling about 70mph on the highway the lights came on again, same issue and lost power nearly causing an accident. Called the service manager. 10 restarts to clear it and drove it to the dealership about 100 miles away the next day using back roads to avoid the freeway. About 40 miles from the service center, it died while traveling about 30mph but thankfully, there were no other vehicles near me at that time and I was unfortunately prepared for the possibility. Once at the service center, it was determined that the fuel pump needed to be replaced and I paid significant money to have this part ordered and installed. I was without my car for about a week however this dealership does provide a loaner. I had the car back since mid August without any further issue - until last week, on start giving me the same dash warning lights, unable to swap from "N" mode. Called the service center and the coil pack was replaced yesterday.

Description of the Problem: While operating the vehicle, multiple warning lights illuminated including the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) warning light, the check engine light, and other unknown warning indicators. In addition, several warning messages were displayed, including “Service Engine Soon” and other unknown messages. When this occurs, the vehicle begins to overheat, the auto start/stop function becomes disabled, and the vehicle loses power and will not accelerate as expected. Component or System Failed / Malfunctioned: The exact component is unknown at this time. The failure appears to be related to the engine, powertrain, or electronic control systems. The vehicle and components are available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: The vehicle’s failure to accelerate and overheating while in motion creates a serious safety hazard. This puts the driver and passengers at risk, especially if the loss of acceleration occurs in high-speed traffic, intersections, or on highways. Reproduction of the Problem: The issue has recurred multiple times. It has not yet been officially reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. Inspections: At this time, the vehicle has not been formally inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives.

The messages “Service Engine Soon” and others appear immediately prior to or during the failure. These warnings occur before the loss of acceleration and overheating. Additional Notes: The failures are ongoing and have occurred more than once, raising concerns about reliability and safety.
