“Im getting a turbo underboost code from the check engine light. It's a solid light not flashing. I do not have a gas cap & ive already had a smoke rest which revealed no leaks. I started putting premium gas & the light went off & was back to peak driving performance but recently it came on again with same code & it's driving like an old lady now”
NHTSA complaint #11229932, filed 2019-07, 50,000 miles“I was driving and at a stop light. The engine suddenly flashed and said not in gear. It was in drive. It said switch to nuetral. I did and back to drive. The car would barely go. Left me moving at 15 MPH in the middle of 55 MPH traffic. Then it seemed to want to lunge forward at the next red light. I do not feel safe and the Fiat dealer says there are no recalls. However I could have lost my life. I was almost struck twice.”
NHTSA complaint #11361715, filed 2020-09, 101,000 miles“Multiple times I have been driving on a city street or highway, going a normal MPH (usually around 40), when I try to accelerate the car literally will jerk two or three times before it gets to accelerating. The jerking involves going forward and backwards at least two or three times.”

It was in the shop for 38 days before we received it back. All repairs done under warranty. Feb 9 2017 while in a parking lot the vehicle was put into reverse however the vehicle started to roll forward causing my wife to crash into a concrete pole in the parking lot damaging the front end. …”
NHTSA complaint #11048519, filed 2017-11, 54,936 miles“I was driving straight at 75mph on the highway in tucson, arizona. Suddenly the car began to speed up and slow down. The dash displayed (! Manual unavailable) the car began to jump from park, neutral, d2 and d6 until the car came to a complete stop. It took three of us to push the car off the freeway. Prior to this I have noticed that over the past month when I press on the gas pedal the car does not move. Then it suddenly starts going. I am very concerned for my safety and the safety of others with regards to my car.”
