2014 Fiat 500L

POWERTRAIN. IT GET BLOCKED IN P, DOESN'T GO R, AND, JUST ON SOME SELECTIVE D... IT SAYS THAT YOU HAVE FIRST TO PUT TO N. IT SUDDENLY GOES FROM D2 TO D4 AND D6, NO D, NO D3, NO D5, NO REVERSE. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN, EVEN AFTER THE RECALLS MADE. IT STILL HAS ISSUES, FIXED ALREADY ONE TIME, AGAIN, IT GOT ISSUES. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY ASKED FOR A PROHIBITIVE AMOUNT OF DOLLARS TO FIX (?) IT AND THEY GOT MONEY ALSO JUT FOR THE EVALUATION. THE ISSUE IS ABOUT THE SAFETY, GOING ONLY FORWARD, D2 D4 AND D6 MAY BE A SERIOUS ISSUE (AND SOMETIMES FROM D6 TO D4 IT GOES N BY ITSELF). REALLY WORRIED.

2014 FIAT 500 L: THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO THE PROPER GEAR. TURNING ON THE CAR AND PLACING IN D OR R THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER RETRYING MULTIPLE TIMES THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY GO INTO DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, "SWITCH TO NEUTRAL THEN TO DRIVE" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WAITING TO GET APPOINTMENT AT DEALERSHIP.

IN THE COLD WEATHER FOR THE PAST YEAR, THE COMPUTER SCREEN HAS INTERMITTENTLY ADVISED DRIVER TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL BEFORE SHIFTING BACK INTO R/D. LAST MONTH, THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION LIKE IT WAS NOT EVEN IN GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND A FAULTY TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS TO BLAME FOR THIS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND A RECALL ON THE TCM FROM 2014, STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THAT THEY WERE REPROGRAMMED/REPLACED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S DISCRETION. I DO NOT BELIEVE A RECALLED PART SHOULD BE HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM AS IT DID 5 YEARS LATER. MY WIFE AND I ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW CAR AND FIAT IS ON OUR LIST, BUT IF I CAN ONLY EXPECT A 5 YEAR SHELF-LIFE ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, WE MAY HAVE TO RECONSIDER. PERHAPS OUR CAR IS THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

2014 FIAT 500L MY CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. FINALLY AFTER PUTTING IT IN DRIVE, PARK, REVERSE IT WENT INTO DRIVE AND I TOOK IT TO CUTTER FIAT IN HONOLULU IMMEDIATELY. THEY INFORMED ME IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. ($9,000) WE PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW JULY 2014 FROM CUTTER FIAT IN HONOLULU. MY CARS VIN NUMBER ISN'T LISTED AS A RECALL BUT WHY IS IT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALLED CARS? PLEASE HELP ME

WHEN I BOUGHT MY 2014 FIAT 500L IN 2017, IT HAD AN OPEN RECALL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS THE SHIFTING ISSUES BUT IT DID NOT. I PERIODICALLY GET ERRORS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN REVERSE/DRIVE B/C TO TRY TO GET OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. ON 10/22/18, I STARTED GETTING "GEAR UNAVAILABLE" ERRORS AND HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT B/C IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. LAST WINTER IN COLD WEATHER, IT STARTED SLIPPING INTO "LIMP MODE" WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON ROUTE 42 WHERE ALL I COULD DO WAS PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR (BUT NO ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE MECHANIC COULD ADDRESS). ON 9/30/19 I TOOK IT TO THE FIAT DEALER IN MAPLE SHADE, NJ, WHERE THEY TOLD ME AT 35,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE (P1CB1 GEAR SHIFT ACTUATOR FAILURE) AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. BUT WHEN THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER GOT THERE HE COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUES SO THEY WOULD NOT COVER A NEW TRANSMISSION. FIAT CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUES WITH THIS YEAR MAKE/MODEL ARE WELL-KNOWN.
