2013 Fiat 500 Fuel system Problems

“Loss of motive power while I drive and I have to pull over on the highway. This has happened many times. I have taken the car to Fiat and they have not fixed the issue. Fiat has a recall on my type of car except FCA us llc said my VIN is not included. Nhtsa campaign id # 16v302000. I do not want passengers to be in my car because of the risk of death. There is a significant danger to myself and others.”

“When attempting to fill up gas at a fuel filling station the car will not take in any fuel from the gas station pump. It reacts like the tank is full but it is not. A very small steady flow of fuel will flow (approx 20cents) and then overflow as if it is full. This is a dangerous problem at that the gas pump and has also caused me to run out of fuel on the freeway as well which could cause serious accidents. Fiat dealer says they have not heard of this issue, but I am finding 1000's of owners online with the same issue.”

“My 2013 Fiat abarth was rear ended. I was stopped. The other driver, in a grand cherokee, rear ended me. His speed was approximately 20-30 MPH. I was knocked unconscious briefly & had severe head pain. I am still undergoing treatment. None of my cars safety features worked, including the fuel pump shut off. I believe the seat hit me in the head. The abarth has unique, high backed seats with a fixed / integrated head rest with a hard, plastic insert. My seatbelts failed to tighten and the fuel pump failed to shut off. …”

“In 2019 my 2013 500e wouldn't start/take a charge. I towed it to the dealer and after more than a month and $2250 they replaced the PIM module and HV battery pack. Fast forward to 2022 and I received the SERVICE ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM error. I drove the car to the dealer. They are claiming the failure is the HV battery cooling system is leaking coolant in to the battery itself and the only repair is full replacement. They are also claiming the battery is not under any warranty at this time. Any thoughts or advice on next steps would be appreciated. …”

“My car cuts off while driving or being idled. I would drive it in the city and after about 20-30 minutes of driving stop and go. It would cut off while I'm stopped at a light. Then I would put it in park and it would restart. Then after that it would read as high coolant. Also going up steep hills it would cut off when I turn it at the top of the hill and read nothing just completely turn off. I finally got to replicate the problem with Fiat service and they are trying to figure out how to stop it from cutting off. This should be a recall and replace by Fiat”
