2016 Fiat 500X Electrical system Problems

“Happened again -- this is the third time this has happened since I purchased the car in nov 2016. Engine shuts off while driving. Fiat dealer apparently clueless about the issue and how to repair. Took car to same dealer all three times this happened - each time they've given me a ridiculous reason the car is literally shutting off while I am driving down the street!! First time they said it was because the computer needed updating?!?! …”

“Over the past two years I've had to take my vehicle in to the dealership numerous times. The car will accelerate on its own without touching the gas pedal, switch gears on its own, accelerate while making a stop, uncontrollably jerk well moving at a slow speed's and display messages such as drive mode unavailable at random times while driving.

“I own a 2016 Fiat 500X, unsure of the model because I was told I was purchasing a trekking but paperwork states lounge 2.

The dealerships seem to not know why my Fiat tends to shut down while driving. First I had only about 25000 miles and it shuts off while turning in a 4 way intersection, Fiat place had me take it in just to say it needed an update. …”

“Around october 9, I tried to turn on the ignition as usual with the key fob. The engine would't turn, so I recharged the battery. After 10 minutes, it finally cranked. The battery is good, however, so I replaced the battery in the fob. On october 19, I used the key fob and all kinds of indicator lights came on. When I placed the car in reverse, several light indicators (service engine, check transmission, etc.) and it was like something inside the engine dropped as if the car shifted into another gear. The 'r' and the 'd' blinked steadily. …”
