2016 Fiat 500X

THE SEAT BELT ARE NOT FESTERING GOT IN MY CAR TO GET READY TO LEAVE AND THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT FESTERING I KEEP TRYING TO FESTERING AND FINALLY DID THEN I LEFT AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT POPPED A LOOSE...SO I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TRIED TO FESTERING IT A AGAIN IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT LATCH AGAIN I HAD TO KEEP REPEATING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ITS SEEMS AS IF ITS NOT CHANGING GEARS PUSHING THE GAS TO ACCELERATE ITS WILL LET OFF A RUSHING SOUND WITH NO MOVEMENTS THEN IT WILL JERK AND ACCELERATE FASTER IT MAINLY DOES THIS WHEN TAKING OFF AND TURNING ONTO ANOTHER ROAD WHERE THEIR IS BUSY TRAFFIC THAT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A ACCIDENT WITH ONCOMING VEHICLES IF THE ACCELERATION ISN'T AT ITS SPEED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, THE SHIFTER LOCKED, THE BRAKE LOCKED. THERE WAS NO SAFE WAY TO BRING THE VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY. I COASTED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE GRASS. THERE WAS A SIERRA 1500 THAT WAS BEHIND ME THAT WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE FIAT DASHBOARD HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS ON, SUCH AS CHECK ENGINE, OIL LOW, OR ANY OTHER INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THE DEALERSHIP'S RESPONSE WAS IT NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. THERE WAS NO ADDRESSING THE FACT THAT MY CAR WAS BURNING THROUGH OIL AT AN ACCELERATED RATE AND THAT THE CAR ITSELF TURNING OFF AND LOCKING UP WHILE IN OPERATION IS "NOT A DEFECT" OR "A SAFETY HAZARD". I SPOKE WITH THE FIAT DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS THE FACTORY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. THE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED 1/1/2020. 127 DAYS LATER, MY CAR HAS THIS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS DEFECT. FCA CLAIMS THAT NO BUY BACK OPTION AVAILABLE DUE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. THEY OFFER TO HAVE SERVICE ATTEMPT TO FIX THE CAR BUT THE ISSUE IS WITH THE ENGINE, NOT JUST CHANGING THE OIL. THERE IS NO OTHER ENGINE THAT CAN BE PLACED IN THIS CAR TO COMPLETELY FIX MY VEHICLE. IF ANOTHER TIGERSHARK ENGINE IS PLACED IN MY CAR, THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE IF IT IS DEFECTIVE UNTIL THE CAR SHUTS OFF AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN RESULT IN A FATAL ACCIDENT OR INJURY. FCA'S RESOLUTION IS TO CONTINUOUSLY BANDAID THE SITUATION. THEY ARE NOT OFFERING TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I ALSO HAVE AN EFG WARRANTY THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THAT IS USELESS IN REMEDYING THIS SITUATION ALSO. THE DEALERSHIP POINTS THE FINGER AT FCA TO FIX THIS WHILE FCA POINTS THE FINGER AT THE DEALERSHIP TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. MY CAR WITH THE TIGER SHARK ENGINE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

MY CAR WAS STATIONARY. SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I WAS CLEANING THE INTERIOR OUT. LISTENING TO MY RADIO. THEN ALL THE SUDDEN A BUNCH OF WARNING LIGHTS START GOING OFF. PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THEM. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST DYING SO I TRIED TO START IT. THE ALARM STARTS BLARING. EVENTUALLY THE CAR SHUT IT SELF OFF. AND NOW IT WILL NOT TURN BACK ON. IT'S JUST EXTREMELY SCARY THINKING I COULD OF BEEN DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD BETWEEN ONE AND TWO. AND OCCASIONALLY THE RADIO TURNS IT'S SELF ON AND OFF. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH 43,000 MILES. IT'S INSANE AND INCREDIBLY UNSAFE WITH THESE ISSUES. AND NOW IT'S DEAD IN MY DRIVEWAY. I GET PARKING LIGHTS OUT AND DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHT OUT INDICATOR. ROUGH IDLE ON COLD STARTS SOMETIMES. *TR

SINCE AUGUST 2019 , THE 2016 FIAT 500X HAS BEEN IN FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IN AUGUST 2019 A RADIO WAS REPLACED, THE NEXT MOTH A COMPUTER MODULE WAS REPLACED, SUBSEQUENTLY SINCE OCTOBER 8 2019, THERE HAVE BEEN THREE BATTERIES INSTALLED. IT IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUES TO LEAVE ME STRANDED . TODAY IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN AGAIN. I AM GOING TO BE STRANDED AND IN DANGER. I WAS IN VAN NUYS , CALIFORNIA IN DECEMBER WHEN THEY REPLACED A BATTERY, THEN FEBRUARY 7 , 2020 IT WAS IN MESA AZ WHEN IT HAD TO BE TOWED IN AGAIN. TODAY MARCH 11, 2020 IT WAS TOWED IN AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WILL DO THIS TIME SINCE 3 NEW BATTERIES HASN'T TAKEN CARE OF THE ISSUES. I AM PETRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I WENT THROUGH ARBITRATION ON FEBRUARY 17,2020WHICH WAS DENIED. I REALLY NEED SOME HELP TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES

MY FIAT KEEPS GIVING TRANSMISSION ERRORS. I TOOK THE CAR TO CONCORD, CA FIAT FOR DIAGNOSTICS 10/2019 AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPORT AN ISSUE. THEY 'RESET THE COMPUTER' AND SENT US OFF. NOW IN 02/2020 I'M STILL GETTING ERROR MESSAGES AND THE CAR LOCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD REFUSING TO TURN OFF, SHIFT GEARS, OR MOVE AT ALL. FOR 15 MINUTES.

WHILE DRIVING MY FIAT 500X, IT JERKS WHEN IT'S SHIFTING GEARS OR ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE WAS A BULLETIN CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION I BELIEVE. BUT WHATEVER UPDATE WAS DONE, IT DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I'VE LOOKED FOR INFO REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.
