“I purchased my car in jan. 2020. On june 21, 2020, I awoke to my alarm going off. I tried to use my key fob to turn that alarm off and it did. Not work. The alarm stopped and I had to use the hard key to enter my car. The car would not start and I had to get a jump from aaa. The car was new with less than 3000 miles on it. I took it to the dealer to for a diagnostic and they kept it for 5 days. They had to replace the bcm. The bcm was listed as problem in prior year versions of this vehicle. This appears to be a continuing problem with this vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #11331758, filed 2020-06, 2,800 miles“The vehicle has been in the shop since August 2025 attempting to be fixed. I have been making monthly payments and have not been offered any rental assistance or vehicle loaner assistance. My vehicle has multiple safety recalls and no current remedy.”
NHTSA complaint #11694451, filed 2025-10“My car stopped and would not turn back on while in the middle lane of a busy highway. We were stopped on the highway >20min until police arrived to block the lanes so we could safely exit the vehicle and a tow truck could safely retrieve it. The ground strap underneath the vehicle that grounds the main engine harness was broken. As a result the electrical short resulted in burning/melting of several spots on the harness. There was no warning ahead of time and I’ve learned that this is a known issue. We are very lucky that this did not lead to a crash, injury or death.”
NHTSA complaint #11698417, filed 2025-11“There were no warning lights prior to driving and the vehicle stopping on the highway 2 times. Now the warning lights is constant and referencing the recall from 09/2025. Still no remedy for the recall. Mopar and the Alfa Romeo dealership have not contacted me regarding fixing the problem. A class action lawsuit needs to be filed”
