Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Front driver and passenger doors are hard to open and close. Twice, the doors sprung back when opening, hitting me once and my daughter on another occasion, both times near the eye area. My daughter received a small bump above her right eye. The upper corners of the doors seem to be swept back at a sharper angle than most cars. This is a loaner because of the takata recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10908619, filed 2016-09, 7,900 miles“Brakes did not engage the first time in order to stop the car for parking space. It happened again the following day where I tried to hold the brake pedal to the floor and nothing!!! I retried again a second time and too late car was hit twice in the front destroying whole front end. Car was purchased brand new. I have contacted Fiat hq to further investigate this deadly safety issue.”
