2014 Fiat 500L

For the past several months my car will simply stop accelerating while I am driving down the road. I can put my foot on the gas, and it will not accelerate. The RPM's and speed go down and I must pull over to the side of the road quickly and turn the engine off, wait 5 minutes or so and try again. Sometimes I must wait longer before it will go back in gear and accelerate. It has been very unsafe when this happens on the interstate putting me, my passengers, and other cars/drivers at risk because it happens with no warning lights and not enough time to get over. This same problem happened before in 2017, and FIAT issued a recall. The dealership stated that recall was fixed and cannot use it for this problem even though it is the EXACT same issue. They state I need a new transmission now costing $9,876.00 repairs/labor for a 2014 FIAT 500L I bought for $13,000..... If this problem was acknowledged before, why isn't FIAT fixing it again?

THE CAR WEEK NOT RESPOND IN ACCELERATION IT TOOK TOO LONG TO CLICK IN GEAR. . ON RAMPS IT STRUGGLED TO GET TO SPEED GOING INTO THE FREEWAY. THE DEALER SAID IT FIXED THIS AFTER A RECALL. IT DID NOT WORK HOWEVER AND IT WON'T SHIFT TESTS AT TIMES. ANOTHER MECHANIC SURE ITS BECAUSE ITS A JET FUELED ENGINE N I NEEDED TO GIVE IT GAS. WHEN I DID IT JUST IDLED THE SAME. NOW THE TRANSMISSION BROKE N I STILK OWE 5K ON IT! IT COSTS 9K TO FIX.I DROVE TO A MECHANIC AND HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE, THE GEARS DID NOT WORK ANYMORE.

I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FIAT BACK IN 2016 THAT WHILE IN MOTION MY VEHICLE LOSSES POWER AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING. THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF AND AT TIMES AND YOU CAN'T TURN IT BACK ON. IT WILL ALSO ACCELERATE ON ITS ON WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT ON AND I AM NOT PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. IF I CAN I HAVE TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF TO RESTART IT SO IT WILL ACCELERATE. IT HAS BEEN TO FIAT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT AND SAY THEY CAN'T DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM A CODE ON THEIR COMPUTER. I HAVE SHOWN THEM VIDEO OF THE CAR DOING THIS. AND THEY SAID I SEE THAT BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A CODE SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE MINE JUST STOPS ON THE ROADS/HIGHWAYS. AND NOW 2 YEARS LATER IT IS THE SAME STORY AND THE CAR IS GETTING WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE TEMPERATURE IS OUTSIDE IT WILL DO IT AT ANYTIME BUT IT IS MORE FREQUENT WHEN IT GETS WARMER OUT.

THIS CAR HAS HAD MAJOR ISSUES AND THE ACCELLERATION PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED. WHEN YPU PULL THE CAR UP BY THE VIN NUMBER IT IS OBVIOUS THIS CAR HAS PROBLES. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD BY THIS CAR BACK. I HAVE PAID $20,000.00 ON THIS CAR AND STILL OWE $25,000.00. TELL ME THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT. ALLEN SAMUELS TOLD ME THEY WERE GIVING ME AN EXTRA WARRANTY FREE AND I HAVE A WITNESS. THEN THEY ADDED $2500.00 INTO THE LOAN AMOUNT.
