2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Electrical system Problems

“Around January 30, 2023 (need to verify the exact date). My vehicle went on limp mode, the engine light went on plus an additional warning light.

I am not sure how can the starter burn in flames when there is a relay and fuses to protect the regulation of current going into the starter. Thanks”

My wife pressed the automatic window up button as she was turning off the car. As the window started up, my forearm was trapped between the sill and the window frame. the pain was extremely intense, particularly from where the window kept trying to close.
