“Our FIAT was rear-ended on October 20. My wife suffered multiple critical injuries. The accident occurred in Manatee County Florida. I have the accident report, a picture of the vehicle, and a reported recall of the vehicle for a seat problem that took place in Australia. There has been no recall in the U.S. I will upload the relevant documents. The company reports the front seat’s guide tracks may not comply to safety standards do to a manufacturing fault. …”
NHTSA complaint #11445396, filed 2021-12, 20,000 miles“Arm rest snapped apart while driver was adjusting seating position with elbow on the arm rest. There is a now sharp metal bar protruding from the plastic into the driver elbow area. Chrysler/Fiat dealership said this defect was not covered under warranty and would cost $182 to repair. This seems like a minor safety issue that should definitely be covered under the Fiat warranty.”
