“On february 5, 2015 at 8:40 a.m. While driving south in the high speed lane at 55 MPH on highway 101 from san rafael to san francisco, there was a total and catastrophic electrical failure and resulting zero motor power of my Fiat 500E. I was able to coast the car to the shoulder area crossing four lanes of traffic. A Fiat repair technician coincidentally appeared on the scene and offered assistance. I indicated I was unwilling to drive the car any further. He instead drove the Fiat 500E and I drove his gasoline Fiat to the dealer in san francisco for repair. …”
NHTSA complaint #10759005, filed 2015-08, 412 miles“Car suddenly lost power without warning and stalled in middle of road and had to be pushed to the side. Car was only 3 weeks old.

They did recall only after dumping hundreds in a group lease suspiciously days/week just before notifying NHTSA/DOT of defect and problems. I've had the fix done and it didn't work !”

Following morning vehicle is not movable and key will not be removable. You can try jumping the 12 volt system, but does not always work. If vehicle becomes functional you will get a host of error messages including propulsion system error requiring a return to dealership. Chrysler/Fiat is aware of the problem and suggest to plug the vehicle in as normal and add a trickle charger under the hood to the 12 volt system!!! …”
